Bonjour!  I am feeling very French today!

Did you know that we have a French treasure trove to explore in our very own backyard?  French Metro Antiques on Dickson Street in Fayetteville will satisfy your inner Francophile.  Put it on your to-do-right-away list.

What is the foodie connection, you ask?

Tucked throughout the nooks and crannies of this gorgeous antique store are kitchen gadgets and accessories. Believe me, I possess massive spending restraint each time I go in this store.  What’s not to love about charming wine racks, hammered copper cooking pots, and candlestick holders?  Seriously, if you want to add a special touch to a remodel or add that perfect I-must-have-this-instant-ambiance, French Metro Antiques is your place.

Of course, those of us in Northwest Arkansas are extremely privileged to have this charming store in our backyard.  But don’t worry if you aren’t from our neck of the woods (which is crazy, move here already) because French Metro Antiques posts items online that are available for sale!  They ship worldwide.

Yes, even to France.

Want to know about my latest foodie find?

(It could’ve been yours.)

This 19th century mossy green cast iron enameled trivet with a heating element (a tea light fits perfectly!) is mine.  All mine.  It is perfect for keeping my team warm after boiling water on the stove.

Oooo la la!

Here’s another super foodie tip…

French Metro Antiques can be YOUR personal shopper.  Always wish you had that “perfect” accessories or item?  Contact them and describe your wish list.  They will keep their eyes open next time they are on an antique buying trip in France.

I’m so doing this.

I’ve always wanted a gorgeous coffee percolator.  And a slow-cooker.  Something with charm.  Who knows?  Maybe there is a mossy green cast iron enameled one out there just waiting for me.

What’s your dream French antique?

No, Jacque Cousteau doesn’t count.

Bon Appétit!

Eat well, my friends.  Eat well.

  • Ad. #BITENWA Day 1 = deliciously delightful! The rain didn’t dampen spirits.... it just made us (ok, me) hungrier! Loved sharing tonight with @asleepyfern!
  • When I grow up, I want to eat fresh from my backyard garden. Do you have a backyard garden? Four years ago we moved into our home and started renovating. The inside is finished and while some parts of the outside are spiffed up, much of it still has a ways to go. Our backyard is wide open to any ol’ passerby, so the vanity in me wants it to be aesthetically appealing. Did I also mention we have a slope? And deer, fox, groundhogs and chipmunks? Thankfully, we have now moved into our outdoor renovation phase and once the hard-scaping is in place, let the gardens begin! Patience, Lyndi, patience. Are we alike? Do you have aspirations for a home garden but not enough time, land, or whatever is needed to make it happen?
  • Ad. #arsoystory It has been a long time since I’ve visited the Jonesboro/Memphis area, even though it is only five hours away. I plan on heading over there soon to visit some dear friends and there is one restaurant that will be on our must-stop list. It’s called J Town’s Grill, have you been there? It’s a local favorite and, get this, it’s owned by Jeffrey Higgins, an Arkansas soybean farmer. Talk about a seriously personal farm-to-table experience! J Town’s Grill is the featured restaurant for this month’s Kitchen | Fields Table Tour. Their featured dish is a Greek-marinated chicken with a chipotle feta spread mixed with Kalamata olives, marinated artichokes, tomato, and drizzled with Tzatziki sauce and served on toasted Lavash bread. Doesn’t that sound amaZING?! .............................. Because I like to play with food, I made you a NON-DAIRY TZATZIKI SAUCE that is made with soy yogurt instead of plain whole yogurt. It tastes delicious and it’s something your non-dairy friends will be thankful you made for them. Because we’re nice like that. Recipe link in comments 👇🏻.
  • @withhomesupply in downtown Fayetteville is one of those home stores that instantly inspires you once you walk through the door. I found the perfect melamine dishes and bowls here! And if you’re looking for a dish cloth that absorbs water perfectly (and prettily), this is your place. $5 each
  • Meatballs come in all shapes, sizes, and ingredients such as beef, pork, turkey, chicken, vegetarian, and vegan. My personal favorite meatball base is ground chicken breast. The consistency is extremely fine and therefore you avoid any mystery bites of fat, grizzle, or well, mystery bites. What is your favorite kind of meatballs? If you’re looking for a little inspiration, check out my quick , easy and delicious taco meatball recipe. Recipe link in bio 👆🏻and in comments 👇🏻.
  • I never buy magazines anymore.... blogs and Pinterest browsing keeps me busy! Yet this @betterhomesandgardens summer edition caught my eye! Who else is ready for summmmmmmmmmer eatin’?

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
