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!

If you know of any please share. Thanks!
Right now it looks like Movable Type is the best blogging platform available right now.

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up.
The words in your post seem to be running off the screen in Opera.
I’m not sure if this is a formatting issue or something to do
with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
The style and design look great though! Hope you get the problem fixed
soon. Thanks

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything. But imagine if you added some great graphics or videos to give your posts more, “pop”!
Your content is excellent but with pics and video clips,
this blog could certainly be one of the very best in its niche.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you
relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about,
why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something enlightening to read?
Amazing! This blog looks just like my old one!
It’s on a entirely different subject but it has pretty much the same layout and design. Wonderful choice of colors!
Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this
site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s challenging
to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability
and visual appearance. I must say you have done a great job with
this. In addition, the blog loads very quick for
me on Firefox. Excellent Blog!
I was just telling my friend about that.
Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog
and wanted to say that I’ve really enjoyed browsing your blog posts.
After all I will be subscribing on your feed and I hope you write again soon!
Piece of writing writing is also a excitement, if you know after that you can write or else it is complex to write.
Howdy, i read your blog occasionally and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you
get a lot of spam remarks? If so how do you protect against
it, any plugin or anything you can suggest? I get so
much lately it’s driving me crazy so any help is very
much appreciated.
When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox
and now each time a comment is added I get several e-mails with
the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service?
Appreciate it!
Definitely believe that which you said. Your favorite
reason seemed to be on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of.
I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people think about worries that they just do not know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined out the whole thing without having
side effect , people could take a signal. Will likely be back to get more.
Thanks

Вы сообщили это хорошо.
I didn’t know that.
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Rarely do I
encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and amusing,
and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.
The issue is something which not enough folks are speaking
intelligently about. I am very happy that I came across this during my search for something relating to this.
That is a very good tip particularly to those fresh
to the blogosphere. Brief but very precise information… Thank you for sharing this one.
A must read post!
An interesting discussion is definitely worth comment. I believe that you ought
to write more about this subject, it may not be a taboo matter
but typically people don’t talk about these issues.
To the next! Many thanks!!
Does your site have a contact page? I’m having trouble locating it but, I’d like to send you an e-mail.
I’ve got some recommendations for your blog you might
be interested in hearing. Either way, great site and I look forward to seeing it grow over time.
In fact when someone doesn’t understand after that its up to other people that they will help, so here it happens.
You can definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write.
The world hopes for even more passionate writers like you who are not afraid to mention how they believe.
At all times follow your heart.
Have you ever thought about including a little
bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental
and all. However imagine if you added some great pictures
or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips,
this blog could definitely be one of the very best in its niche.
Superb blog!
I absolutely love your site.. Pleasant colors & theme.
Did you make this web site yourself? Please reply back as I’m hoping
to create my own site and would like to find out where you got this
from or what the theme is named. Appreciate it!
