🎁 LG,BE’s 12 Days of Christmas🎁 DAY 10 Have you ever wondered what the reality of writing a food blog is reaaaaally like? I test and pivot around obstacles that are bound to happen in the kitchen so that you don’t have to endure those yourselves. Although I’d like to think I am the Barefoot…
Red Beet Soup with Mushroom Dumplings // Barszcz Czerwony i Uszka
🎅 LG,BE’s 12 Days of Christmas🎅 DAY 9 A common soup made many different ways depending on where you live in Europe. In Polish? we call it BARSZCZ, say it with me guys! Baaaaa-rsh-ch.

Cioppino (Fisherman’s Stew)
🎅LG,BE’s 12 Days of Christmas🎅 DAY 7 This one is for all my seafood lover’s out there. A relatively quick stew that can be made within an hour, that doesn’t break the bank, but definitely makes you feel like you’re dining under some twinkly lights in San Francisco at night. The nice thing is that…
Orange and Cardamom Softie Cookies
🎄 LG,BE’s 12 Days of Christmas🎄 DAY 6 Christmas cookies hold a special place in my heart. My mom, the ultimate baker, would always take the time to bake jam thumbprints, chocolate shortbread, or if we were super lucky, Polish Rogaliki (my absolute favourite without a doubt) over the Christmas break. As kids, we would…
Red Moon Over Manhattan & Vanilla Whiskey Soaked Cherries
☃LG,BE’s 12 Days of Christmas☃ DAY 5 Soooooo, this may be my new favourite cocktail.

Potato, Gruyere & Thyme Tart
🎅LG,BE’s 12 Days of Christmas🎅 DAY 3 Does anybody else get super excited when they see something with puff pastry? Or is that just me?

DIY Shrimp Cocktail
❄LG,BE’s 12 Days of Christmas❄ DAY 2 For as long as I can remember, we almost always had a shrimp ring for an appetizer as part of my family’s meatless Christmas Eve feast. An odd choice some may say, but for kids who were quickly learning how addicted we were to seafood at a young…

Chocolate & Raspberry “Trifles”
12 Days of Christmas with LG,BE Day 11: When I think of trifles, I think of the food queen herself — Nigella Lawson — explaining the components of an authentic English trifle and how she made it seem like the most perfected masterpiece of all the British desserts that exist. But trifle takes time.. and…
Filet Mignon with Peppercorn Cream Sauce
12 Days of Christmas with LG,BE Day 10: An evening winter grill, anyone? I got really luxe with my lobster fettuccine earlier this week, but I also figured it’s pretty fair to share a luxe ‘turf’ option too. In my boyfriend’s opinion?
