HAPPY National Homemade SOUP day!



French Onion Soup


*1 stick of butter
*5 medium onions
*1 cup (BIG cup) of Chardonnay 
((& while it's out pour yourself some!))
*4 cups of low sodium chicken broth
*4 cups of beef broth
*2 cloves of minced garlic

*3-4 dashes of Worcestershire Sauce
*1 loaf of French Bread
*Gruyere Cheese Block
*3 Sprigs of Thyme


Preheat oven 400 degrees

Cut onions in half and then cut in thin slices (not too thin but thin)

Melt butter in soup pot or dutch over on medium/high heat. 
Add onions and toss in butter and cook for 20 min.
Place soup pot into oven and crack the lid so the onions can brown.
Cook for 30 min and then stir onions. 
Then cook for another 30 min. If the onions are not a nice shade of light brown/brown cook longer.

When onions are done, place back on stove on medium heat and cook for about 4 min.
Then add the glass of wine(turn off heat before and then turn back on) Cook the wine until it reduces(about 5 min)
Next, add both broths. Then add the dashes of Worcestershire and minced garlic. 
Add the springs of Thyme. Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer.
Simmer for 30-45 min. Remove the Thyme after done simmering.

When the soup is about done ...
Butter the ¾ inch slices of frech bread and broil on low for 3-4 min and then broil on high for 1-2 min.
If you do not have ramekins, add the shredded gruyere right before the bread is done in the over and melt.
If you have ramekins, place the crispy French bread slice in the soup and cover with the cheese and place in the oven to melt.

*SHOES-day* Tuesday!



I came across this stunning mesh bootie online. 
This gorgeous shoe immediately got my attention!
What I love, especially, about this boot is the lacey look of the body, with florals and mesh, and then the BIG satin bow on the top. 
Not to mention, it comes in pink and black and is a peep-toe, so it’s perfect with tights!
If you are in the market for a serious statement pair of footwear, 
look no further than these Badgley Mischka masterpieces. 
 $200, they won’t set you back an arm and a leg...
Just an arm, but that's why you have two of them!
They can be found at Nordstrom.
