Weekends in a French Kitchen

By

What have I gotten myself into now?!? Yes, it's true - I signed up for another cooking project. And this one is extensive. But it's also casual and it's a stretch for me. I love both of those elements.

Welcome to Weekends in a French Kitchen! This is a organized by Alice of A Mama, Baby and Sharpei in the Kitchen, Christy of Confessions of a Culinary Diva, Tammy of Telling Stories from Chez Nous, and Emily of Blue Bungalow.

Here's the scoop: click here. And if you're game, I'm including affiliate links to the cookbooks. I just ordered mine. Let's get this party started!
