Although I’ve “had” soufflé, I’ve apparently never eaten it before! OMG was this place delicious! We had read all the excellent reviews about Le Soufflé, and I have to admit I wondered: “how great can it be?” Out of this world great, is the answer! To start, I had the cheese soufflé and Andrew had […]
French: No Frills or Fuss
Bonjour! After all our travel delays, we finally got a good nights sleep and enjoyed our first full day in Paris! I know why they call it the city of love – beautiful architecture and monuments on every corner, quaint cafes and Brasserie’s, beautiful people and of course, beautiful food and wine. When American’s think […]
Bonjour from… New York?
Bonjour loyal THC followers! We’re just sitting in a cafe enjoying some champagne and the picturesque Paris architecture… only we’re not! Due to a mechanical issue with the plane, we were diverted to New York where we’ve been stuck since last night. I don’t know what the issue was, but as a frequent traveler who […]

Hey folks! Sorry it’s been a while since we posted. We had a family reunion to travel for, and I’ve been feeling under the weather lately, so we haven’t spent much time in the kitchen. It’s a gloomy day here in South Texas, and I’m still home feeling under the weather. What could help more […]

Chateaubriand
Love is in the air, and if you really want to wow your valentine, Chateaubriand is the key! A large filet mignon for two, slow roasted with tarragon, topped with Bearnaise sauce, served with skillet potatoes and haricot verts, this meal can’t be beat! By cooking the meat low and slow, it’s perfectly medium rare […]
National Pizza Day: Mortadella Pizza
What day could be better than National Pizza Day? Unless it’s national wine, chocolate and pizza day, nothing could be better than National Pizza Day! This recipe is inspired by a restaurant in my hometown, but I make it my own and use some of my amazing Pampered Chef products! Sweet and tangy, this pizza […]
Blue Apron, Hello Fresh, Sun Basket, Plated…Oh My, but is it worth it?
Hello everyone. Sous Chef Andrew here and it has been far too long since my last post. I don’t know about you, but lately I have noticed more and more advertisements for meal kit delivery services. A quick google search shows that there are at least twenty different companies now that offers some kind of […]
