Wish You Had A Green Thumb?

August 22, 2018, posted by Gina – We conducted a poll on Instagram yesterday asking people if they have a green thumb. A little more than 50% of poll takers responded “no”. Some people may think that gardening or caring for houseplants is too time-consuming and difficult. Gardening is definitely an endeavor that requires both time and patience and houseplants can be finicky. However, the benefits of a pretty garden or a few beautiful plants scattered around the house are worth the trouble. Of course, bringing home a bouquet of fresh flowers from time to time is another great way to add life and beauty to your home. If you’re looking to try your hand at gardening, caring for houseplants or keeping fresh flowers looking pretty longer, we have included a few of our past posts on these topics that we hope will give you some guidance…and inspiration!

Shrimp & Scallop Linguine

July 13, 2018, posted by Michelle – It’s Friday the 13th but we have nothing to fear here in France! We’re celebrating Bastille Day tomorrow and, of course, looking forward to playing Croatia in the World Cup Finals on Sunday. That being said, this weekend is like 4th of July and the Superbowl all rolled into one. So, there will be big parties, picnics, cook-outs, fireworks, French flags and much merriment all weekend. I want to share the recipe for a cold dish I will be serving which is perfect for summertime. Serve this with a simple arugula and sliced avocado salad and voilà, you will have a delicious, easy to make meal. Even better – have some ice cold limoncello on hand to sip on afterwards.  Vive La France! Vive La République! Have a great weekend everyone!


Perfect 4th of July Pasta Salad

June 30, 2018, posted by Gina – The 4th of July is almost here and you, no doubt, have party plans. If you’re looking for a simple and delicious side dish for the festivities, look no further. My family loves pasta salad and this recipe is a crowd pleaser. You may have seen similar recipes made with spaghetti but we prefer to use rotini because it’s so easy to eat.
