The first thing that caught my eye on her blog was this picture of French onion soup and the great recipe accompanying it. I love this soup in the winter but have never tried making myself because it seemed little intimidating. Have you ever made it?
And then as I was reading about the soup, I saw her food resolution list from 2009. It includes the 100 different kinds of food that she was try making. She then went back a few weeks ago and crossed off the things that she'd actually made along with a link to the recipe she used (click on the word "complete" below to go to her recipe pages). What a great idea! Take a look at her list:

All I have to say about this list is WOW! I need to get myself some resolutions and fast. Do you have a food list?
French Onion soup is super easy to make and oh so delicious. Basically slowly cooking your onions and then adding broth and other ingredients. And don't forget a little red wine. It makes a huge difference. I add Merlot or a Shiraz blend. Yummy....
ReplyDeleteCoco - Thanks for the advice. I definitely want to try it soon. I hope you're having a great weekend!
