Poulet à la Cocotte – French Chicken in a Pot

Months before we moved, I started to dream about what our first meal in our new home would be. I actually didn’t have to dream for very long, I knew exactly what I wanted to make.

As is nearly always the case, I get most of my cooking inspiration from Deb at the Smitten Kitchen. She posted zucchini pancakes about a week ago and I added them to my every-growing list of things to cook.

I was inspired to make quiche by the farm-fresh eggs that the octogenarian neighbor, Cécile, brought to us yesterday.

Banana Bread

For the last few days, I have kept my eye on the fruit bowl, tracking the progress of the bananas. I have been waiting for them to ripen with the goal of turning them into banana bread.

Apple Cake

We were invited to Laurent’s brother’s place for dinner last night and I was in charge of dessert. I love to cook, but haven’t done much cooking at all since we have been at my in-law’s.
