Here we go!

 Hey y'all! I will be keeping this blog pretty simple! Nothing fancy here, just pictures and words.

I have loved cooking and food for as long as I can remember. I exquisitely remember canning tomatoes or baking tea cakes with my granddaddy at their home in the country of Alabama. Or making dumplings with my great grandmother, and even eating a few (yeah..raw dough that had been made then frozen so they were little shards of delectable pasta) while dropping others in the boiling stock. I have watched countless cooking shows and dirtied many recipe pages. I still have the little Le Creuset dutch oven I bought off of eBay in early 2000s after watching Julia & Julia. I couldn't afford a large one, or new one at that, so I settled for the smaller used one. It still works perfectly and I love it dearly. I love to try new foods and recipes constantly. You can almost always find me in my kitchen making something. Just today I made 7 loaves of my rosemary focaccia, and Reine de Saba...all before noon. I have no idea what I'll be making for dinner though. 

Here you will find recipes I've come up with myself, as well as food I've made from other various cooks' and chefs' repertoires, as well as my travels and the amazing food I have while en route.

The title of this blog should be obvious. Eat, Pray, Love. is another book/movie you must read/watch. 

I am starting this blog off with a insanely easy recipe; a galette. I have here a raspberry galette, but you can really use any fruit or filling really. Sky is the limit. You can also make your own puff pastry but sometimes you need quick and easy and I just so happened to have a lone sheet of puff pastry in my freezer.

Raspberry Galette


Ingredients:

1 sheet puff pastry
2 cups fresh berries
1/4 cup sugar (white or even blonde coconut palm sugar)
3 tsps corn starch
1 Tblsp buttermilk

Directions:

preheat oven to 375
mix berries, sugar and corn starch in bowl and set aside.
parchment paper onto cookie sheet.
Thaw puff pastry, place on parchment, then roll into a rough circle.
place filling into center of puff pastry, then start bringing the outside of the pastry into the berries, overlapping when necessary.
using a pastry brush, brush buttermilk over puff pastry

Bon appetit!
