I need to hit up TJ and Homegoods for some serious Christmas shopping. Dave and I aren’t doing any big exchanges this year (because of Costa Rica) but I still have tons of family to shop for. It’s going to be a recessionista Christmas for this lady! Love your purchases.

What great finds – love TJ Maxx! I spotted that cookbook there a few weeks back and hummed and hawed over it, but didn’t end up getting it. But it would have been a great idea to pick it up for a gift! Oh well, its probably gone now. Enjoy making french onion soup!

I have attempted FOS many times and my favorite recipe, by far, is PW’s recipe found here: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2009/02/french-onion-soup/

My best tip would be to watch the onions carefully so they do not get crispy! I am too impatient and turn the heat up to much causing the onions to *ahem* get a little on the crispy side! The point is to soften them and let them carmelize! Yum!!!

Additionally, use wine that you would enjoy a glass of… Certainly not cooking wine. And, splurge for the gruyere cheese! YUM!!!!!!!!!

Good luck!
