1934. Halal Beef Bourguignon


I was serious about stew season. Boeuf Bourguignon is a famous French stew, traditionally cooked in red wine. This halalified version uses fresh pomegranate juice and a splash of vinegar to mimic the flavor profile.

1932. French Oat Almond Cookies


Perhaps not necessarily French, but these crunchy oat and almond cookies are a staple in any French supermarket there. At home, you have the peace of mind and control of the ingredients going in.

1929. Sardine Pate


We should all be eating more sardine. With modern days food systems, almost everything seems to have a catch. Eat sardines, but make sure they come in cans soaked either in brine or olive oil. Interesting fact that sardines have very low mercury absorption, making them one of the best fish options for consumption.

1928. Blueberry Cinnamon Rolls


You won't find any food coloring here; it's all from nature. With four other cinnamon rolls recipes on the blog, it is safe to assume we like them here at the MCW household. This blueberry-stuffed and blueberry-frosted version certainly does not disappoint.

1926. Comte Cheese Crackers


Snacking is a multi-cultural, and a multi-billion dollar industry. While store-bought goodies are often designed to make you addicted to the product, I can safely say that this homemade savory cheese cracker is among the best I've tasted and is just as addictive (without any of the chemical and synthetic nasties).
