Rosemary Focaccia Bread

There's something about bread that gets me excited to make it.  It's such a simple food, but there's definitely an art to making it homemade and patience that the cook needs to encompass. Seeing that I (at times) am not the most patient person, I was thinking what type of bread could be made relatively fast. That's when I thought about focaccia. Focaccia bread is an Italian bread that has lots of olive oil in it, leaving it moist and delicious. I added rosemary, because why not, and sea salt just brings it altogether. This is a bread that anyone can make, and that everyone will rave about.

French Onion Soup

I can't believe it's already November. Time sure flies when you're having fun. Now that it's getting a tad bit chillier (well, kind of, California can only get so cold), French Onion Soup came to my mind. A few November's ago, I experienced the best French Onion Soup at a little cafe in Paris and I've always dreamed of remaking it. For some reason, I always thought French Onion Soup would be incredibly hard and time consuming to make.Wrong. What have I been doing with my life during these "cold" winter-ish months?! Eating canned soup?! Never again. This (in my opinion and my friend Kristina's) is comparable, or even [dare I say] better, than the one I tasted in Paris, the delicious soup's birth place (I think). It's full of flavor, not too heavy on the salt, and easy to make. Win-Win-Win. This will surely warm your insides and keep you feeling nice and cozy!
