Hey fellow adventurers! I made (with help) some popular French food with my husband and family. First, I’ll talk a little bit more about French food and then I’ll share the recipes I followed. As well as pictures of the food I made.
I’ve already somewhat covered this but I want to talk about every day, non-restaurant etiquette. The French have family-style sit down meals three times a day with lunch being the most important. And no snacks! In France, eating is something to be savored not on-the-go or while distracted. Even coworkers eat together family-style. If a coworker were to grab a bite to eat by themselves, it would be considered rude or an insult. Lunch and dinner are generally three course meals. Three course meals typically consist of an appetizer (salad, soup, paté), the main course (generally a meat or fish dish with potatoes, rice, pasta and/or vegetables) and a cheese plate or dessert. French kids must eat the same things as the adults do. There’s no kids’ food versus adults’ food. The French believe in teaching kids how to eat healthy at a young age so they carry those good habits into adulthood. There’s also an emphasis on locally grown, fresh food in French cuisine.
I tried to make beignets which is a French doughnut. However, I failed miserably… whoops!
My husband took over and they were beautiful! We cheated and used pre-made batter from World Market but I’ll provide a recipe for those that love to bake (or you can be lazy like me). They were so good! They were light, fluffy and didn’t have an overwhelming flavor so presumably taste like whatever you pair them with (powdered sugar for us). If you do make these, I highly recommend you drink coffee with them! We had an iced mocha with ours (café Au chocolat?) and it made the whole meal that much better! We ate it on my back patio, with the café music playlist I mentioned at the end of the music post, so that it felt like we were eating on a café terrace. Recipe here:

And for lunch I made croque-monsieurs for my family (my family do eat meat so I’ll share pictures of both the meat and vegetarian version). Croque-monsieurs are baked or fried ham and cheese sandwiches that are typically served at French Cafés. I followed the same recipe for both versions and in the vegetarian sandwich, switched out the ham for a soy lunch meat substitute. My family loved the meat version! As for me, I really enjoyed the vegetarian version but I might use a more flavorful lunch meat next time. Recipe here: http://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/croque-monsieur
Vegetarian version:
Regular version:
I wanted to make a vegetarian French onion soup as well but I got sick so it never happened. I’m sorry. I’ll still provide the links to the recipe I was going to make and the meat version. I’ve had French onion soup before though. It’s pretty salty with a (obviously) strong onion taste, and a lot of cheese! For those who’ve never had it, it tastes like a liquid form of onion potato chips with cheese on top. I’m a fan and would highly recommend it if you like onions. Once again, I’m sorry that I can’t vouch for either of these recipes.

And that’s it for the food section of France! If there were any recipes that you felt should have been included or just want to share, please feel free to comment below! Or if you made any of these recipes, feel free to share pictures! I would love to see! Until the next adventure!
I read this post fully regarding the comparison of hottest

Hey just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren’t loading correctly.
I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different

Hello to every body, it’s my first visit of this blog; this webpage contains remarkable and actually
excellent stuff in support of visitors.
I was recommended this website by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by
him as nobody else know such detailed about my problem. You are wonderful!
Thanks!
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what
all is needed to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
pretty penny? I’m not very web smart so I’m not
100% positive. Any suggestions or advice would
be greatly appreciated. Thanks
When someone writes an article he/she keeps the

Da sich Einbrecher den Zugang meist durch ein Kellerfenster oder Erdgeschossfenster
verschaffen, sollten Sie an zusätzliche Sicherheitsmaßnahmen denken. Bei einem frei zugänglichen Kellerfenster kann neben anderen Maßnahmen z.
B. auch ein zusätzliches Fenstergitter angebracht werden. Auch Lichtschächte können effektiv gegen das Aufhebeln gesichert werden.
Möchten Sie im Kellerwohnraum zusätzlich Ihre Privatsphäre schützen, können Sie das
mit einer Ornamentverglasung oder einer nachträglich angebrachten Folie erreichen. Die Abmessungen eines Fensters bestimmen, ob es zweiflügelig sein kann und
darf. Es gibt zwar keine nach DIN festgelegten Doppelflügelfenster Maße, dennoch gibt es
durchaus verschiedene typisierte Fenster mit Richtmaßen,
die sich an der Mauerwerks-DIN orientieren. Zum Beispiel kann ein Fenster mit einer Breite oder
Höhe von 40 cm keine zwei Fensterflügel haben. Nach DIN
sind auch die Mindestgröße für Rettungswege durch Fensteröffnungen und
die Mindestbelichtungsfläche von Räumen, die für den Daueraufenthalt von Menschen bestimmt sind, festgelegt.
Gemäß Material können Doppelfenster nicht nur in verschiedenen Breiten und Höhen, sondern auch in unterschiedlichen Einbautiefen gekauft werden.
