French cuisine made simple! We've rounded up some of our favorite French-inspired recipes easy enough for every day meals.

Scott and I are spending a few weeks in the French Alps and had a delightful opportunity to spend an evening with a classically French-trained chef. It was a delightful experience and I got a TON of inspiration to take home with me. Be on the lookout for a post sharing our culinary evening, as well as some delicious new French recipes. But for now, we thought we'd put you in a French frame of mind too with a collection of some of our favorite French-inspired recipes.
