It's time for Fish Friday Foodies' September event. We are a group of seafood-loving bloggers, rallied by Wendy of  A Day in the Life on the Farm , to   share fish and seafood recipes on the third Friday of the month.  This is, easily, my favorite recipe sharing event of the month. I always come away with a list of recipes that I just have to try! And this month, I am hosting. I urged my blogger friends: "Bring your favorite seafood stew to Fish Friday Foodies for our September event. Think Cioppino, Moqueca, or anything else that has CHUNKY seafood in a broth or sauce." The Other Stews An InLinkz Link-up Suquet de Pescados So, I ended up scheduling this for dinner on a day when I left work early. Not for fun. I was sick. My nose was running and I had a raging headache. I hate that first cold of the year. Ugh. I just wanted to sit on my bean bag with a mug of tea and watch a movie. But I had the ingredients calling to me and you just don't...

Today the Tour de France - the 103rd iteration of this multi-leg, multi-national cycling race - kicks off at Mont Saint-Michel. Riders complete nearly two dozen stages, including the infamous ascent of Mont Ventoux. Here's the official route... My husband, Jake, has done a couple of century bike rides and completed the biking leg of an Olympic-distance triathlon a few times. While I do know how to ride a bike and we do lug our bikes on vacation and ride often, I am more of a beach cruiser kinda gal...you know, like with a basket on the front that's carrying a bottle of wine and a baguette! In honor of the Tour De France, a group of bloggers from around the world will be sharing recipes that capture the culinary spirit of the regions along the race route. We'll be cheering them on by celebrating with the foods of six different regions. Sarah of Curious Cuisiniere , the event originator and blogger wrangler, has given us the option of cooking from: Northwest Fr...

When I began researching a menu for our Andorran dinner, I realized that today was actually Chinese New Year and figured we'd go with Chinese for dinner tonight. But I was soundly vetoed by two little boys who are loving our cooking around the world adventure. "No, Mom, we're on the 'A's not the 'C's." So, I decided to skip the duck friend rice and braised bok choy that I had planned and went full steam-ahead with the Andorran planning. If you search online for "Andorran recipes" or "Andorran cuisine", you get very few results. I looked at what Sasha from Global Table Adventures cooked for her Andorran feast and, as good as hers looked, I wanted something a little bit more exotic than a potato-cabbage pancake, though I did make the same appetizer. Then I found a link between Andorran cuisine and Catalan cuisine and ran with that; there were so many more options for Catalan recipes. So, we're on to country number four of our C...
