Take-Out Tuesday–With a Twist?

Todays “Take-Out Tuesday” will be like one you have never seen before…TOTs with a twist.  What is this twist you might ask?  For starters, how about the fact that my bank account was sacked and plundered by this man?  Either Sarkozy robbed me of my meager stipend or I déjà spent my monthly allowance on wine, cheese, and baguettes.

In any event, I am surviving this week on whatever is left in my pantry/fridge.  Looks like I will have some new recipes out for you soon–perhaps Pasta with Peanut Butter-Yogurt Cream Sauce with a sprinkling of baking soda in lieu of parmesan.  Yes, it’s that dire.

Take -Out Tuesday: Vegetarian Cassoulet

Take-Out Tuesday makes a glorious return this week with a traditional southern French dish with twist–cassoulet!

I know what you might be thinking…French cuisine…take-out Tuesday…they cannot possibly go together.  Before you start quaking in your oven mitts and getting your aprons in a bunch,  hear me out.

Introducing…

Cue an old Edith Piaf record…Prepare for a national holiday (aka strike for any conceivable reason aka the French grève)…If you’re 54 years of age, get your papers ready in order to retire at age 55…Drum roll please…

Je vous presente, “Take-Out Tuesday”!

Every Tuesday, I will dedicate this blog to recipes so easy, you might as well have picked up the phone and called for take-out.  The goal is to take as few ingredients as possible and create something transcendental.  Simple, fresh, easy cooking with full-bodied, textured, delicious results.
