Rocq Macarons.. {love}

Labels: food, french style, macarons, rocq macarons, sponsors, spring

I stopped by Rocq cafe yesterday for lunch and had an amazing quiche, but I also came home with a box of these little beauties. I love the Spring colors and these are some of my favorites.

They make wonderful gifts (I usually eat them all myself though)!

Stop by their shop and see what's new. Also they are now offering free shipping!

Rocq Macarons {giveaway} for Valentine's Day

Labels: food, giveaway, macarons, sponsors

Rocq Macarons is offering one of you lucky readers the chance to win a "Sweetheart" box of their heart shaped macarons for Valentine's Day.

Each heart shaped bit of goodness is handmade here in California and delivered right to your Valentine! They even have special flavors in the heart shapes, my favorite is the Peach Mango with the Raspberry coming in a very close second.

Each box contains a selection of the following gluten free bits of yumminess :

• Dark Chocolate, a delicious chocolate shell filled with a Valrhona chocolate ganache .

• Raspberry, made with fresh raspberries, this sweet berry-flavored cookie is filled with a rich white chocolate ganache.
• Peach Mango, a fusion of fresh peach and mango infused for a burst of juicy fruity ganache.
• Red Velvet, an explosion of flavor that doesn’t overwhelm the palate, the moist red velvet crust shields the creamy bourbon vanilla bean filling.

Remember to order by February 8th to get yours!

To enter to win please visit the Rocq Macaron shop and leave a comment below letting us know your favorite. For an additional chance to win tweet about our giveaway (it's easy just hit the tweet button below) and leave a second comment! Our winner will be chosen at random Monday the 6th.

Also, if I cannot contact you from your profile I will need an email address....

Congratulations to Karlie on being our winner!

Rocq Macarons {a giveaway}

Labels: food, french style, giveaway, macarons, paris, sponsors

I am super excited to share a sweet little bit of Parisian life right here in the states with you!

The amazing chef Eddie Rocq has brought us hand made Macarons beautifully packaged, that can be delivered directly to your door, making them the perfect gift.

Each of these little cookies is handmade to order and we can get them right here! I was so excited to discover that I now can have one of my favorite things here at home. Each box offers a variety of flavors and you can even select your own. I am completely loving the chocolate and the pumpkin, the hubby and my little one are partial to the Vanilla, what can you do.... They will even be offering heart shaped macarons in specialty flavors for Valentine's and Mother's Day too, how perfect is that?!

A great little note on the history of the Macaron..

The Macaron cookie was born in Italy, introduced by the chef of Catherine de Medicis in 1533 at the time of her marriage to the Duc d’Orleans who became king of France in 1547 as Henry II. The first Macarons were simple cookies, made of almond powder, sugar and egg whites. It wasn’t’ until the 20^th century when French pastry chefs decided to join two macaron shells together and fill them up with buttercream, jams and ganache, which is the version we recognize and love today.

Rocq Macaron's was sweet enough to offer a box of their Holiday Collection {This is our selections of 24 Amazing flavors in the "Parisian" Box set} to one of our readers!!!!

In addition to Macarons, Chef Eddie Rocq offers fantastic catering services which we love.

Dreaming {by invitation}

Labels: by invitation only, Dreams, family, food, french style, furnishings, lifestyle, someday, Vintage french

Dreams are such a fun thing. I have so many but there is one that keeps jumping out at me. I think it maybe more of a wish than a dream but I am truly not sure what the difference is any more.

I dream of having a wonderful place in France to spend time in with my family, when I say time I mean real time where we eat together outside, we cook together, take hikes and walks and learn about the surrounding areas. A home base to travel to new worlds together, just us, just for fun!

This beautiful home would be filled with my favorite of all favorites! Astier de Villatte dishes and furnishings mixed with amazing French finds from Brocantes and local artisans. Things would be striped down and natural just like the surroundings and the food. It would be amazing we would cook and read.

We would ride bikes around just so we could see everything and stop anywhere.

Eating outside as often as possible would be the norm..

My mind might even be free enough to have time to create some new classics based on old methods.

I would have the time and patience to learn how to draw and possibly paint.

A girl can dream right!

What about you what do you dream about?

Please take a minute to stop by and see everyone who participated today!!
