Bacon & Cheddar Croissant Bites





As much as I hate to admit it, Marley is getting older. I'm trying to embrace it and let her help me more; cleaning up, setting the table for dinner, and cooking with Mommy. She is always so excited when I let her help like a 'Big Girl'. I hope I can show her how much fun cooking is and maybe one day she'll love it as much as I do.
This morning, we made up our own breakfast croissant concoction together. The great thing about buying the crescent dough is that you can put just about anything in it and it will be good! Other croissant bites I've made before: PB & J, mozzarella stick & pepperonis, roast beef & provolone cheese, party size pigs in a blanket, and ham & cheddar.

Chicken Simmered with Cream & Onions with Baked Cucumbers

Fondue De Poulet  La Crème avec Concombers Au Beurre
St. Patrick's day was yesterday, who ate corned beef and cabbage? YUM! If I was a organized blogger I would have correlated my posting with the holiday. Especially because I have a really yummy recipe for a corned beef and cabbage dish... but I'm not always organized. I'm an impromptu chef, a working Mommy and life just sucks sometimes. So when life sucks you pout for a few days and eat take-out. Then you put on your big girl panties and get back in the kitchen.
Julia Child has come to rescue me with her French cuisines. She always knows just what I need: a dish cooked with butter, heavy cream, and wine with a side of veggies. Hooray for Julia!!
