Let me hear you say Boeuf Bourguignon with a French accent!

Ready? Go!

Please tell me you did it! I am imagining y’all staring at the screen and practicing your best Gérard Depardieu impersonation.

Today is the official first day of fall and I am celebrating with this divine, comforting Boeuf Bourguignon, or Beef Burgundy in English, which is one of my fave dishes ever and the perfect dinner for this season . (sharing the recipe at the end of this post) If you’ve never heard of it before, it is pretty much a beef stew made with red wine, mushrooms and pearl onions that was given a big fancy French name!

Filleting and grilling a whole fish can seem intimidating, but it’s actually quite simple to do! While testing this delicious Yellowtail Recipe I couldn’t find snapper fillets, but I could find whole snappers.

No problem—filleting a snapper (or any other similar fish) is easy if you follow these steps.

Just be sure to use your sharpest knife, whether it’s a fillet knife or a chef’s knife. I highly recommend the Opinel FORGED 1890 7" FILLET KNIFE for all of your fish recipes.

This garlic baked pork tenderloin with italian seasonings and a nice French country salad is one of my favorite summertime dinners! First off, everyone loves pork tenderloin, and this one has just enough interesting and surprising flavors to make it feel dinner party-worthy. I roast mine in the oven but this is a recipe you can throw on the grill too! Pork tenderloin is one of those cuts of meat that is made for serving a crowd too so you could easily scale this recipe up (buy a larger tenderloin) depending on your guest count, then slice it up and arrange on a big gorgeous family-style platter.

Bastille Day is soon approaching, and even if you're not in France, all you lovely Francophiles can still party like it's 1789. Le quatorze juillet, better known among English speakers as Bastille Day, is a time to come together to commemorate the Storming of the Bastille as well as the Fête de la Fédération, the celebration of the unity of the French nation during the Revolution, in 1790. Between the French military parade down the Champs-Elysées, air shows in the Parisian skies, fireworks shows that light up the Eiffel Tower, and the many festivities in cities around the world, there are plenty of ways to celebrate La Fête Nation.

If you have plans to throw your own soirée to honor the holiday, here's a roundup of delicious Bastille Day dishes. They are just perfect for a lovely meal at home too any night of the week. I hope to encourage you to experiment a bit with the french way …..go frenching yourself so-to-speak! LOL!

Every year Woodfood Reserve, one of the oldest and smallest bourbon distilleries in Kentucky, releases a commemorative bottle, featuring exquisite artwork to honor the Kentucky Derby, and this year’s might be my veryyyy favorite! ( not sponsored all though they would be a dream client to work with)
