I don’t normally have a big sweet tooth, but lately I’ve been craving sweets like mad. Maybe it’s all the Easter chocolates everywhere I look. So this week’s French Friday’s with Dorie recipe, Visitandine, was timely. Though, my first reaction … Continue reading →

vegetable barley soup with the taste of little india

Posted on 30/03/2014 by oneexpatslife

Ah jet lag, how I loath thee. I woke up this morning to the combined insult of day 2 jet lag and day 1 of European daylight savings time. I’m more than a tad grouchy. Which makes it difficult for … Continue reading →

scallop and onion tartes fines

Posted on 21/03/2014 by oneexpatslife

Can’t win em all. Right? This week’s French Fridays with Dorie recipe, Scallop and Onion Tartes Fines, was a rather resounding miss in my house. Not sure why. I enjoy all of the ingredients separately and probably would have enjoyed … Continue reading →

garbure from the supermarket

Posted on 28/02/2014 by oneexpatslife

The problem with Fridays is that I’m always hungry. Here’s the deal, my husband and I do our weekly grocery shopping on Saturday morning. This is no coincidence. German shops tend to have idyllic opening hours (for the shopkeepers anyway) … Continue reading →

fondu and all-white salad

Posted on 14/02/2014 by oneexpatslife

No, not together. Last week I was high up in the mountains, enjoying a week of cheese, cheese, and more cheese. Seriously. The local specialties in the French Alps are Fondu (bread dipped in melted cheese), Raclette (bread and/or potatoes … Continue reading →

Paris Brest

Posted on 31/01/2014 by oneexpatslife

Oh how I love the pastry shops in France. The windows are loaded up with temping goodies and I often find myself, nose pressed up against the glass, leaving drool marks as I consider my options. Eclairs and Macarons get … Continue reading →

Posted on 25/01/2014 by oneexpatslife

I have a love-hate relationship with my induction stove. Have these caught on in the US? I discovered them first in Germany, but that may have had more to do with the timing of my transatlantic move than anything else. … Continue reading →

3 simple soups

Posted on 17/01/2014 by oneexpatslife

As you may have heard, I was a bit confused last week and made the soups instead of the baked apples. Oops. Not sure why, but there I was on Sunday night, trying to drum up the energy to make … Continue reading →
