Romain made english muffins from scratch! It took 2 days and they came out pretty rustic, but they were delicious! There is something really amazing about making your own breads from scratch. I think all the work that you have to put into it makes it that much more delicious. Romain used this no-knead recipe […]

Pizza! It’s delicious, comforting, versatile and one of Romain’s favorite things in the world. His sister recently got him the Mastering Pizza cookbook by Marc Vetri, so he’s been getting a lot of practice in. His goal has been to recreate wood fired pizza in our oven at home, which can be tricky since the […]

April 21st marked one year of marriage for us! We decided to celebrate with a staycation at The Fearrington – if you haven’t had a chance to go, it really is quite an experience. It is a historic farm just outside of Chapel Hill. The village has so much charm with lots of little shops […]

Pork Carnitas are basically delicious slow cooked Mexican pulled pork and takes a bit of cooking time, but it’s well worth it. We cooked ours up on a Sunday, when we knew we’d be home most of the day. It’s classically made by slow cooking the pork in lard, but for the sake of our […]

We just got our new blender and so of course we had to figure out something exciting to make for our first time using it! What a great excuse to make a milkshake (as if this heat wasn’t enough of an excuse). We might need to make a milkshakes into their own blog mini series […]

These meatballs are a Romain specialty that he learned from his dad and they are always a treat. He grills them up with ratatouille, tzatziki and couscous (so nice they named it twice!). For me growing up, meatballs were always in tomato sauce or in the crockpot with some type of sweet/tangy sauce (which is […]

Pesto is such a quick, easy and delicious thing to whip up, so it’s often a staple in our house. Basil is one of the things that’s actually growing in our “herb garden” and we have a lot of it, so pesto is the perfect way to use it! A little green on your pasta […]

This was a fun afternoon with perfect photo taking weather! Some days we are just blessed with amazing evening light and it makes my heart so happy. My mother-in-law reached out to me about doing family photos before Romain’s brother, Antoine, leaves for the Peace Corps (!!) and of course to get some updated pictures […]

Woo, our second Food Friday post! When I first pitched this idea to Romain, he instantly suggested we do a post on a whole roasted chicken. This is a recipe that he’s been working on for years and it’s a Gremaud household favorite. It’s the most comforting, homey dinner and the smell fills the whole […]

Hey party people! I’m so excited about this new idea! We’re going to start a blog series called Foodie Friday, where we talk all about the thing we all love the most – FOOD! Again, Romain and I are not culinary experts, but we spend so much of our time focused on food, so I […]
