Hi friends! I have so many things to share with you!! This weekend we announced the second A Daily Gathering workshop + retreat, The Alchemy of Hospitality. It will be held at a gorgeously restored manor in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, October 29 – November 2, 2015. We only have three spots left, so hurry and grab a ticket while you can!

Hoping to get lots of blog posts published this week to share what’s been happening around here! First up, a French-inspired picnic is live on The Nest, in honor of Bastille Day. I included the recipes for the Salad Niçoise that my mom used to make almost every week growing up, and a Peach Cherry Cardamom Clafoutis, based on Julia Child’s recipe. The combination of cherry and peach in the clafoutis is so delicious, but almost any fruit would work! I’ve made it three times recently and don’t plan on slowing down.

These photos are all outtakes of our simple French-inspired family picnic…head over to The Nest to see the full post & get the recipes!
