It is so nice to be back on track with my Woman Crush Wednesday series after a couple weeks break. It is the 60th time I have honored a female foodie with a love story here on the blog and a cooking tutorial on Snapchat. Since today is a special day we had to have a special culinary queen. And who better than Julia Child, the groundbreaking chef who is still posthumously inspiring millions of cooks! Continue reading
Happy Easter! Or as we jokingly call it “Happy-ster”. That’s because after moving to Ireland we called Hubby’s mom on Skype to wish her a Happy Easter.

So unless you hear from me, this will be your official holiday greeting! Continue reading

It was a madhouse of crowds! But I remember the days of celebrating it when I was teaching preschool at a multi cultural school in L.A. We ate Chinese food, did arts and crafts inspired by the rich culture and even had a dragon parade. Since I was born in the year of the dragon I loved that tradition. Continue reading
There have been 54 Woman Crush Wednesday recipients since I started this series to honor the wonderful women in the culinary world.

Today I am going to share a very special recipe. It is called Friendship Soup. Continue reading
Though today is Wednesday, my favorite day of the week, it feels more like a Monday. Here in the U.K. it’s the dreaded first day back to work after the Christmas holidays. But the minute I start my Woman Crush Wednesday cooking tutorial on Snapchat (username blissbakery) all that will change. I will bust out some singing (off key) and another fabulous recipe from a female foodie. And for the last WCW of 2016 I’ve got a winner! Continue reading
