Weekends in a French Kitchen

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. *Update 11/1/2015: change is in the air. So, we're down to one assigned book. I will still be cooking from both, but we will focus on Mimi's.*

I will be linking all of my posts to this page, so you can find them all in one place. Let's get this party started!
