By now you have probably seen the wonderful movie, Julie and Julia. If you haven't you have got to see it. One suggestion, don't go on an empty stomach and don't eat a hot dog in the theater as you are watching this movie.
I loved learning more about Julia Child. How she got her start in cooking, her wonderfully romantic relationship with her husband and how she loved food and Paris.
In the movie they make Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon. It just looks absolutly delicious in the movie I couldn't wait to try it. My husband has been telling me he was going to make this dish for me for years. Really, years. After taking him to see the movie my husband started thinking about Boeuf Bourguignon again.
My wonderful husband made me Julia Child's Boeuf Bourguignon. It happen to be his birthday dinner. (yes he made his own birthday dinner. I'm a horrible wife) It was so delicious. I just can't describe it. I'm not a writer, I'm a photographer. So, the best way I know how...here is my description of this wonderful dish.
I highly recommend you make this dish. If you don't have the book, get it or borrow it!

Dream Dinners are a Dream
I have not posted on this blog in so long. I'm so sorry. If anyone even reads this anymore. It's great to just look up recipes.
I have a friend who had told me about Dream Dinners about a year ago. I never got around to going. I did find one very close to me and was interested in trying it, but just never made the time. Lately, I haven't even been planning my weekly dinner menus. It's been horrible. I'm hoping to get back to that this Summer.
Anyway, I finally went to Dream Dinners and made about 10 meals. Well, 9 dinners and 1 dessert. We love them! The dinners are great. The girls have loved them and talk about easy! Oh my gosh! If you haven't heard of one of these places (there are several different companies - all the same idea) they're great. Look one up!
Basically what you do is go in or online and register for the meals you want to make. They usually will have some type of minimum they want you to purchase. For example I had to order at least 36 servings. Some meals are 3 servings some are 6 servings.
You go to the store at your scheduled day and time. Everything has been prepped and cut for you. All you do is follow the receipt and drop the ingredients in the zip-lock bags. The employees come around and clean up after you, help answer any questions and refill ingredients. Once you have a meal bagged up you put it on your shelf in the refrigerator. When you're done an employee will tell you "Go ahead and have some coffee and try our sample. I'll get all your meals into your cooler bag for you. Let me know when you are ready and I'll take it out to the car for you." Take it out to the car! Did you read that?! How fun is this?! I loved it!
It took me about an hour total. Including sitting and having my coffee and trying the dessert. YUM, BTW. I'm hooked. I'm ready to go back and make more meals. I still have several in my freezer, but when I'm low, I'm going back.

Good, bad, save, or eat?!
Here is a great chart that will tell you how long food is good when stored in the refrigerator or freezer.

I printed the list out and attached it to the inside of my pantry door. Great reference!
