Coupes de Champagne

IMG 4076 1

Once you refresh your kitchen and create a kitchen you love, it doesn't take much to keep it feeling that way. Just a minute or two a day is all you need for a quick tidy-up or a small tweak here and there. If there are a few things you'd like to get, keep a wish list for when the moment is right. I've been waiting for another champagne glass to break! to justify a little "refresh" and add some coupes to my kitchen — both for aeration and aesthetics. I love the vintage charm, and the wide bowl style opens up the aromas.

Today's pour:

A split of French Champs from Trader Joe's — a good little option.
Perfect for a coupe for two — they have full-size bottles too 😉

What's on the menu?

Zucchini beignets
Salmon cakes made with leftover salmon en papillote with thyme

This version of salmon en papillote is made with a bit of butter, a touch of cream, lots of fresh dill, and lemon. You can get more ideas for baking fish in the recipe. If you have extra, making salmon cakes is just like making crab cakes. In these salmon cakes, I added an egg, about a 1/3 cup of fresh breadcrumbs, a splash more lemon, and a spoonful of Djon.

Sometimes I make extras on purpose!

  • A Real Game Changer

    "We have made a lot of progress over here under your care. We are now all eating from the same “pot” which I was surprised how much my kids loved. They were so excited when I put the food in the middle of the table. They asked for it the next day, Can we do that special fancy dinner thing where we have a feast? It really is such a better ritual—passing the food around and all sharing from the same platter, a real game changer."

  • Accidental Weight Loss!

    “I don't know if I told you, but I accidentally lost about 8 lbs after cutting out most semi-processed foods!"
