My Paris Kitchen

As I prepared my carry-on bag for the next day's flight to Paris, a delivery arrived on my doorstep.  I opened it, discovering My Paris Kitchen.  As I felt the slightly rough pages and flipped through its beautiful photos of grey skies and sophisticated skylines, I instantly felt like I'd already been transported back to France.  

Rosemary Wheat Flatbread

This is one of my favorite recipes of all time.  It takes just minutes to put together, and just requires a little stirring - no kneading, and none of the floury mess on the countertop that traditional breads have.  Just delicious, simple bread.  

And this bread is very fast to make, for homemade bread that is.  Start to finish, including rising time, can be as little as about an hour!

DIY: Make a Terrarium

This is a great project for a quick gift, made entirely from materials you already have at home.  Its a perfect DIY activity for the kids to help with, too.

Healthy Crock Pot Chicken and Pasta

After years as a purist, I've given in and bought a crockpot.  What in the world was I waiting for??  Put ingredients in a pot, and come home hours later to a piping hot, delicious meal - I'm sold.
