The French Get 8 Weeks Off…And shouldn’t we all?

For those who don’t know me, the gal behind the scenes writing these weekly newsletters — I’m a California girl who recently picked up and moved to Basque Country in France in a town called Biarritz. It’s a stunning surf town on the South Western coast with turquoise warm water, towering mountains, moody weather and incomparable food.

French friends at the beach!

I’m currently writing these weekly emails while I am watching my lady friends basque in the sun on the beach during their 8-weeks summer vacation that’s mandated by the French government. There’s a reason why the French have a longer life expectancy. They prioritize de-stressing, which is fantastic for balancing our hormones. They do it right!

So while they jump in the ocean, we’ve been diving DEEP here at Julienne to ensure our new Pregnancy Program and Gestational Diabetes Program are top notch! And I couldn’t be more excited to say they are officially launched and ready to rock!

Special Gift for You!

And with that, it’s time I take a moment to embrace that French kiss. This week, I am taking a pause on sending you the science-backed women’s nutrition information that I’ve found fascinating. BUT — I have plenty in store that I can’t wait to share with you in upcoming weeks.

Here’s a little summer recipe, as a gift from me, in the meantime. It was always a hit in my catering days, and is fresh and flavorful. It’s sure to be a fav in your household, too!
