Eat, sleep, beach, repeat – what a glorious week in paradise! We were looking for a good COVID friendly getaway and we picked the most perfect place – Ocracoke Island! There were some days that we literally had the beach to ourselves! We didn’t have great service, so we were forced to unplug and I’m […]

Here she is! The plum galette! 👩🏼‍🍳 I’ve been wanting to make a galette for awhile now and then a few weeks ago, my mother in law gave us the Baking with Julia cookbook by Julia Child and I found the perfect galette dough recipe – the trick is cornmeal to create texture and give […]

If you love watermelon, then this is your drink! It’s like summertime in a glass! And you’re welcome for getting this song stuck in your head!   In a shaker: a good amount of watermelon chunks a few mint leaves a little lime juice a little simple syrup 1.5 ounces of tequila (or however much […]

When Chrissy Teigen calls for a Cravings Board Challenge, of course we answered! They are looking for the most visually appealing, creative and craveable board, so we decided an asian board with rice cakes, shrimp rolls and dumplings was just what we wanted. We focused on color, flavors and textures. We made sure we had […]

My summer breakfast has been yogurt with berries and granola, so I decided to start making my own granola. I researched a lot of recipes and tried out a few combinations and this one soon became my favorite. It’s quick and easy and lasts me about 3 weeks – totally worth the effort in my […]

I decided to make this blog post more for myself, so I could look back and remember the only shining light in the quarantine world of 2020: food. These are all iPhone photos, but you know, that’s just real life! I’ve noticed that we love: our cast iron, salmon, crispy chicken thighs and feta. Spring […]

A #gremaudfoodiefriday on a Wednesday…whaaaat? It’s quarantine so the rules don’t apply anymore 🤷🏼‍♀️ ⠀ ⠀ We just had to tell you about these @islandcreekoysters that ship straight to your house! We ate most on the half shell with a white wine mignonette but we also roasted some with green onion, bacon, butter, parm, breadcrumbs and all that […]

Cheers to Friday! ⠀ ⠀ I’ll be honest, I made this cocktail for a #gremaudfoodiefriday post a long time ago (that seems like another life) and I don’t remember what I put in it other than tequila, dragonfruit and strawberries but I challenge you to make a creative cocktail with whatever you have left in your […]

I love a good cookbook, but sometimes I get overwhelmed when picking them out because it’s hard to know what recipes will speak to me and how much I will really get out of the book. We’ve certainly purchased a few duds, but we have quite a few that are real winners. If you’re in […]

This one is quick, easy and delicious! Romain made this for me on Valentines Day as an appetizer and it was a DELIGHT. I think the key here is the mint, lemon zest and topping of flake salt. It’s also using really quality ingredients, keeping them simple and letting them shine. If you’re thinking of […]
