You know me...if life would let me (I.e., kids, hubby, dog...) I would be whipping up Julia Child’s Boeuf Bourguignon on the daily. BUT I ain’t got six uninterrupted hours. So in my usual fashion....I ask how can I get all the flavor more efficiently (lazy is key to innovation). So here you go....my take. This is 2 1/2 hours, start to finish. But only 20 mins hands on. The rest is for your oven to work it’s magic. The best part...it tastes better the next day.
Read MorePoached Salmon: so easy with a simple trick....not many have a specialized fish poacher; and I don’t know about you, but I can’t wrap a present let alone fold a paper parchment pouch 🤣😳🤫....And so we have foil to the rescue🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻.
Read MoreIf I was going to be a fragrance it would have to include Meyer lemons (lavender too, but not with the chicken😂). I love this easy roast chicken. Perfect family dinner and your house smells, well like Home.
Read MoreInspired by one of my favs...The Red Bar in #graytonbeach. Amberjack with Radishes and Fresh Basil: ❤️🙌🏻🤗
Read MoreWhen Meyer Lemons are a happy surprise at the store, we make Lemon Bars. Hannah and I spent a great afternoon in the kitchen prepping oats and yogurt, and then these little bites of sunshine.
I would love to make creamy Buerre Blanc on the regular, but my life just won't cooperate. So, here is my "sorta" Buerre Blanc. All the flavor, much quicker to make and you don't have to stress about the sauce breaking (it's already broke).
Read MoreNot quite a peasant beet salad or traditional French country salad....but as soon as I make Dijon vinaigrette....French enough.
Read MoreI first attempted Aioli in the early 90s while reading “A Year in Provence.” I had just returned from living in France and missed the flavor-FULL, “yellow like the sun’ dip/spread/sauce that was ....well everywhere!
Read MoreGreat little snack idea. If you love crunch and need more veggies and protein, then this is for you.
If sauce made with butter and cream is wrong I don’t want to be right. An absolute French classic: Mussels Marinieres. Sounds fancy but it’s French fast food! Seriously.
Read MoreBeautiful spring day in Birmingham! Even better when your goldfish gobbling, Nutella begging kid asks if she can just have broccoli for dinner. Ummmm... yaasss!
Read MoreAdding veggies to lunch is quick! I popped these in the oven while I got the rest of my meal together (hummus and quinoa tabbouleh).
It’s Mediterranean week in the Bevil house......when I meal plan for the week I stick with a region, similar flavors so less waste..... and this is a must have all the time!
Read MoreJust walked in at 7pm from a wonderful, lazy afternoon with my girlfriends at Avondale Brewing! Got home and threw together this amazing Greek Baked Cod with Lemon and Garlic. Wish I could take credit for this but it comes from one of my go to blogs: themediterraneandish.com Her food is fabulous and quick!
Read MoreI'm giving one of my go to lunches/breakfast proper respect. I am all about the perfect bite (which is funny because growing up my food couldn’t touch each other😆). I wish I could remember where I learned this, but this meal provides the perfect bite: the saltiness of the cheese, the richness of the egg yolk, the acidity of the tomato with the fresh bright note of mint. Just....well perfect ❤️❤️❤️.
