Can You Turn Kitchen Time Into Time With Your Girlfriends

Posted January 17, 2012 / Hope

Guest Blogger Hope from A Busy Mom’s Slow Cooker Adventures

Sometimes I feel like what goes on in our kitchen is a “big secret.” Some of us menu plan, some of us fly by the seat of our pants each week and others call for take-out!

A cake fit for a King: la Galette des Rois

Posted January 6, 2012 / Webmaster

Guest Blogger: Lisa Baker Morgan of www.chefmorgan.com

For Christians, January 6 is l’épiphanie (the Epiphany) and the French celebrate it with la galette des rois (also known as the “twelfth night cake” or simply “king cake”). Today, the tradition of la Galette des Rois extends beyond the religious context and is enjoyed by everyone.

This recipe is a fun one you can do with your children. It is akin to making a sandwich (except you get to paint it with egg wash and carve designs in the puff pastry top). Your kids will have fun making the crown too!
