Mise en Place

"Mise en Place" (mise en place [MEEZ ahn plahs] a French cooking term meaning "everything in its place”)

What a wonderful concept. What if we could incorporate this wonderful French cooking philosophy into our everyday life? With the holidays rapidly approaching, just think what it would mean to be prepared, rested and ready!

Before I know it, the holiday’s sneak up on me like an uninvited interloper. Disrupting my rhythm and blurring my focus. It’s a time of year where expectations run high and I'm usually left holding the turkey baster. So, with great confidence I say, not this year! Before I start unpacking the good china or shopping for the perfect table runner, I'm commiting myself to getting everything in it's place, before it's too late.

You can too, by joining Green Mountain at Fox Run for a very special program:
