Gourmet French Fries
Wednesday, November 16, 2016
Instead of pairing my french fries with plain ketchup I made a quick aioli. I am now completely obsessed with this dipping sauce! I'll link the recipe from Epicurious down below.

I know, not the best shot. I had to fight the crowd for this picture, but; I'm glad I got to spend some time with Mona!
Food Upgrade
Friday, November 11, 2016
Simple food doesn't have to be plain. These blueberry muffins are quick boxed muffins I got from our local market. Yes, I can hear the gasps of indignant, horrified foodies everywhere.
As a single, working mom, many days I don't have time for "from scratch" baking. So yes, from a boxed mix the muffins came. However, for a little added flavor, I soaked the blueberries in Chambord and added lemon zest to the batter.
I'm definitely not a chef, but I believe it's important to make the simple foods I serve to my family extraordinary. They're worth it.

What Should I Do With My Life?
Monday, November 7, 2016
If you want to change your life for the better, find a way to do it. You don't need to explain why. What have you always wanted to do? If you're not sure, then ask yourself, when you're old what will you regret not having done?
The Weight Of Beauty
Sunday, November 6, 2016
The world puts so much on emphasis on looking beautiful. However, I've found that personally, I don't want the attention that so many women crave.
Sometimes beauty can bring unwanted attention and at times, I find that to be uncomfortable. Fear comes in many forms.
However, one morning I was at Pont Neuf in Paris, gazing at the ethereal morning sunlight. I was surrounded by the beautiful antiquities that are commonplace for Parisians with Notre Dame on one side of the city and the Eiffel Tower on the other.
I breathed in all that beauty and realized I wanted to be a part of it.
I'm learning is that it's not healthy to try to hide my light out of fear. It's our right is to be a part of the beautiful world around us. Don't be afraid to be fierce!
