Inspired by the movie ~ Julie & Julia

A few weeks ago I went on a Yoga retreat with Yogagurl.com Toronto and learned many great new meals to incorporate. French cooking is another passion of mine so when I went to see this movie I laughed, cried and got even more inspired to cook... I am making a huge shopping list for this week and I am going to make some great dinners for my husband this week.
