I love Julia Child’s meticulous attention to detail.  She writes the mother recipe first and then how to make variations from there.  I love her picks for side dishes and wine.  She leaves nothing uncovered.  Here is her Beef Bourguignon.  I hope you love it as much as my family does.

Cheers!

Staying in ketosis* is not hard and there are so many different and satisfying things to eat that will keep you in ketosis.  It’s awesome.  I love it. However, there were days (few and far between) but there were days when I could have seriously stuck my […]

Mikey made me a Fried Chicken Salad that was over the top.  The chicken is so juicy, crispy, and hot over buttermilk herb ranch laced bib lettuce.  And those crunchy sweet potato straws?!! Love those!!!
