French Women Don't Get Fat


Mirelle Guiliano is the author of French Women Don't Get Fat and this past October she released her second book Women, Work & The Art of Savoir Faire which I am currently reading with Tucker Miller. In her first book Guiliano talked about how Frenchwomen enjoy eating because they do it in moderation. Her latest book is completely different, instead she discusses how to be successful in the workplace and still enjoy life. I love her style of writing, straight to the point with a touch of humor. I cannot wait for her next book, a cookbook in April.



Chocolate Croissant
A simple and easy way to make chocolate croissants is to buy crescent roll dough at the grocery store ( you can usually find it between cookie dough and butter) add broken pieces of chocolate bark (found in the baking section of  the grocery). Preheat oven at 350° and bake according to crescent dough directions. Afterwards, you can sprinkle the croissants with powdered sugar to give  a made from scratch look. Bon Apetít.

  1. I'm going to try out the chocolate croissant recipe at my next coffee morning. It sounds fairly easy and quick. BTW, how'd u get the dog to look into the camera?
