“Simple” Pot-au-Feu. Absolutely worth the 5 hours it took to make! Especially on a grey rainy day with really not much else to do. This classic French dish “pot-on-fire” has been a staple in French cuisine for hundreds of years. Loved by the French for it’s hearty-lightness (actually my adjective 😂 ..a real thing? That is what it is like) , ability to protect health, and delicious flavor.

I love this ratatouille recipe. I have always loved this dish. I am sharing this recipe because it is so good and involves baking, which is unlike others I have tried. Traditionally from France, this is considered a classic late summer meal/side, but I like it more in the fall. There are so many ways to eat it and you can serve it with pretty much anything (pasta, fish, chicken, rice). My kids love to sprinkle mozzarella on top and my husband likes to eat it the French way with extra olive oil on top and entire French baguette. I like it more simply with just a salad or brown rice.

This beef stew from the south of France is one of my daughter’s absolute favorite dishes. My husband is from France and when we go visit his family in Provence, she will order it every time it is on a menu. This is also a favorite that my husband’s grandmother used to make us all of the time. I won’t lie, it is a bit of an undertaking (especially for me). This daube also takes about 2 1/2-3 hours to cook, plus a about 45 minute prep time. This is not a meal to make if you are short on time. But when you do have the time, it is so worth it!!
