✨ French Onion Soup ✨

inspired by @chefshow @chefroychoi and @jonfavreau 🧅

Ingredients:
- onions (I used a mix of yellow and sweet)
- flour
- white wine
- beef broth
- bay leaves, salt, pepper to taste
- olive oil
- butter
- crusty bread
- gruyere cheese

How to make it:
- prep your crostinis by slicing them, rubbing a piece of garlic clove, and drizzling with olive oil. Bake until nice and crisp!
- slice your onions and add to a pot with olive oil and butter and set to low heat!! This is important - you want it to cook slowly!
- stir your onions occasionally and once it’s softened and starts to get color, season with salt and pepper and add a bay leaf or two
- once it’s turning into a golden color, add some flour and incorporate into your onions. let the onions keep doing it’s thing until it gets a deep brown color (but not burnt)
- deglaze with white wine and add beef broth, let simmer and adjust to taste as necessary
- put the soup in an oven safe bowl, top with grated cheese and crostini and broil until bubbly and melty and yummy!!

✨Cheap & Easy Bone Marrow Recipe✨

I will NEVER order bone marrow at a restaurant ever again!! I’m not sure why it’s so expensive at restaurants when it’s so cheap at the grocery store and incredibly easy to make!! This piece of bone marrow was $5.75 at Whole Foods! Not even sure if this counts a recipe because it really is THAT easy!! Lol but here it is 😛

Ingredients:
- bone marrow
- crusty bread
- salt
- pepper
- parsley

How to make it:
- season the bone marrow with salt, pepper, and parsley
- bake in the oven at 375 for about 10 minutes (honestly until it’s brown and bubbly so just keep an eye on it!)
- warm up your bread in the oven and slice (if you’re feeling fancy you can slice it and heat it up on a grill pan with some olive oil)
- enjoy!!
