parfois, je suis cusinière

this morning i decided that it was high time to end my tv marathon.
this past week i have watched more episodes of lost + 30 rock than i care to admit.
(the drama/comedy rotation keeps things interesting...
maybe too interesting!)

so i rolled out of bed + did some serious grocery shopping.
i spent the.whole.day in the kitchen whipping up the following:
-sweet potato fries + roasted garlic dip
-tzatzki
(not that hard of a recipe, but for some reason i have never actually made it myself?)
-the best oatmeal cookies known to mankind
(more on those later) 
-french onion soup
(à la julia child)

oh soupe à l’oignon...
is there anything better on a chilly winter night? 

every once in a while i would glace out the kitchen window and see this:
oh winter. you're not all bad.

    Yum yummy!! These just sound so divine! I have been getting into a tv watching rut too - so many movies as Christmas presents! But I too get into a rut and have to get into something else! Cooking is a great idea!! Bon appetit!

    If I am ever in Canada, you must make me dinner/lunch/breakfast. You honestly seem like such a great cook. The food looks delicious.

    I hope you have a beautiful New Years!
