Who doesn’t love some Julia Child?! As she provides the best basic instruction for French food – I figured that would be the best base for a French Onion Soup Recipe. And boy, was I right! I have honestly been wanting to make French Onion Soup for years and I’m so glad I finally got to create this masterpiece of soup! The best French Onion Soup I’ve ever had was at my favorite restaurant in the entire world – Au Pied de Cochon in Montreal. I’m not sure my onion soup will ever measure up to the soup at APC, but I can only try! Here is my recipe for French Onion Soup:

Coffee Cocktail with Hiram Walker Whipped Cream Liqueur

Who’s in the mood for a delicious drink, a light buzz, and some whipped cream on top? This girl. This is the perfect drink for a casual night in or for morning pick-me-up if you’re feeling frisky. It’s a great one to serve to guests because it just looks so gosh darn incredible and is actually very easy to put together.My version is made with ice coffee, but this drink would also be amazing with hot coffee. The most integral part of this coffee cocktail is the liqueur. I used a mix of Hiram Walker Whipped Cream and Cask & Cream Chocolate Temptation. The whipped cream and chocolate combination is a sacred mixture, never to be tampered with. Well, not really, but it’s delicious so just trust me on that one! Here is the recipe for my version of a coffee cocktail.

Brr! Winter Themed Sugar Cookies with Royal Icing

winter sugar cookies with royal icingSo I have to be honest with my Honey Bee’s – I made these cookies for Christmas. But hey! Snowmen and other winter themed cookies are great all through the snowy season (and all through the year!). Feel free to switch out the winter theme to any other cookie cutter if you want to pretend it’s summer. Think palm trees and smiling suns wearing some sweet shades. Luckily for me, I’m writing this from South Florida but I’m thinking of all of you snow angels up there in the North!
