Julia Child's Beef Bourguignon

So I made Julia's Beef Bourguignon the other night. Wow! Is all I can say, it was sooooo much work but man was it delicious. It DOES take hours to prepare and make. I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn't had it yet. Here is the recipe. http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/recipe?id=822280 Have a great holiday weekend!

Food in Dallas

I was in Dallas from Aug 6-9 for an AMAZING women business owners conference for www.eWomenNetwork.com While I was there I had dinner at Mi Cocina http://www.mcrowd.com/ in Downtown Dallas. Really good Tex Mex food and the service was outstanding! I also ate in the bar of Nana Restaurant one night at the top of the Anatole Hilton. The food and views there were amazing! His french fries in Truffle oil were to die for! Tonight I am making Bobby Flay's Pork Shoulder Rajas with Quick Kimchi in Lettuce Leaves with Kojuchang Sauce. I cannot wait to eat it. You can get the recipe here: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/bobby-flay/pork-shoulder-rajas-with-quick-kimchi-in-lettuce-leaves-with-kojuchang-sauce-recipe/index.html Have a great day and have fun cooking!

Enjoy your time cooking in the kitchen with love!

Julie & Julia

The premiere of Julie and Julia was wonderful last night. Thank you to the San Diego Bay Food & Wine Festival for the tickets. I can't wait for the festival again this year. http://www.worldofwineevents.com/ I am looking forward to working and attending again this year. If you love food and cooking you will love the movie, esp. if you are a Julia Child fan. She made an amazing Beef Bourguignon I am going to make next week. You can find it here, http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/recipe?id=8222804 I was drooling as we left the theater. Definitely check it out when it comes out on Fri.

Yesterday I made homemade mushroom and Canadian bacon pizza for lunch. I wanted Pepperoni but was out. We always use Alton Brown's dough recipe. It's awesome. I have been using it for years. You can find it here http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/pizza-pizzas-recipe/index.html

Have a great day and Happy Cooking!
