One magical winter, THE CASE appeared in our freezer. We had an entire case of Alaskan King Crab Legs for the eating at whim. Dad hauled some frozen goods for a seafood company and they gave him a case for us at home. That was the most magical winter ever.
Now let’s take a little lesson out of the French Rustic Cooking Playbook for a moment. French country cooking methods were developed because the French needed to use what they had and it wasn’t always the best or the freshest.

But life took over and eventually I had to pitch in, cook for us and try to keep up with Chef Rob.
Oftentimes, I find myself commiserating with other moms about our hectic schedules; the trials and tribulations of keeping all the balls in the air at once. You know the drill…work, yard, house, always running to some practice, game, appointment, blah blah blah. Don’t even try to think about jamming in a little fun time for yourself!
