End-of-Year Chat | Jennifer L. Scott

5:37 AM 8 Comments


In today's end-of-year message, I share blog updates, ten-item wardrobe updates, announcements, book news and a very embarrassing story. How did our first semester of homeschooling go? Will I do a ten-item wardrobe video for winter? What's new for the Madame Chic books in Asia? All of these questions and more are answered in today's video.



Thank you to Lisa Donovan Lukas for her beautiful Nutcracker arrangements. I took my daughters to see The Nutcracker last weekend and had the pleasure of sitting in the first row. They were thrilled to see the dancers so up close and even get a peek of some of the back stage action. Lisa's beautiful arrangements bring one of my favorite ballets to my home piano. Thank you, Lisa!

Be sure to check out Melissa55's channel on December 22nd because I will be featured in her musical compilation video playing, O Little Town of Bethlehem, on the piano. Thank you, Melissa! *Updated* You can watch the video here.

Comment of the Week
Regarding Tuesday's Bloopers video, An Old Fashioned Country Life writes, "I love the deciphering look as you hear the background noise!!
"Do I need to tend to that? What level are we at?" look!!
God bless
Mrs.O"

Mrs. O, that was my exact thought process during that moment. Ha!

I will be going on my annual winter break from the blog and will see you in a few weeks. I am wishing you a merry Christmas and a happy new year. I am excited to usher in 2018 and want to thank you for all of your support this year. You are a wonderful part of my life and I am grateful for you. See you in 2018!

Daily Connoisseur Bloopers Part 2

7:48 AM 4 Comments


I have another collection of bloopers to deliver before the year ends. Strange noises, tantrums in the background, losing my train of thought, being photobombed and losing my balance: it's all part of daily life here on The Daily Connoisseur!

The video I was shooting in Portugal on the rooftop never got completed because I was interrupted so many times (and not just by the baby!). And the final shot in our kitchen garden... that video has not come out yet. I'm working on a long-term kitchen garden update, which I think will be more interesting for you to see. I hope you enjoy today's bonus video!

See you back on Thursday for my end-of-year chat. Merry Christmas!

DIY Lavender Pomander Ornament | Victorian Christmas

5:51 AM 3 Comments


Today I'm making homemade lavender pomander ornaments fashioned in a traditional Victorian style. The Victorians loved to use natural scents with their holiday decorations and these ornaments are a fragrant delight.



To make this ornament, you will need:
Lavender flowers, twine (or any ribbon that you like), green dry foam balls, quilter's t pin, modge podge, glue gun.

This is a really fun craft to do with your children. I made the one in the video and the girls did the rest. The children's ornaments had some 'bald' spots where the lavender did not stick, but that is OK. When you use a green ball, it looks natural, as though moss is peeking out underneath the ornament.

I often forget I've made these ornaments and when I walk near our tree I am pleasantly surprised with their amazing lavender scent. I hope you enjoy today's video.

“For women who yearn to channel Audrey Tautou…but don’t have a year to spend apprenticing with one in Paris” (The New York Times), Jennifer L. Scott’s Madame Chic books—Lessons from Madame Chic, At Home with Madame Chic, and Polish Your Poise with Madame Chic—now collected in one beautiful package.

As an American student living abroad, Jennifer L. Scott found a Parisian mentor in her host mother, Madame Chic, who instructed her in the fine art of living. Now, Jennifer shares her lessons in her Madame Chic series: Lessons from Madame Chic, At Home with Madame Chic, and Polish Your Poise with Madame Chic. Based on what she learned from Madame Chic, Jennifer explains how to cultivate old-fashioned sophistication while living an active, modern life, teaching us to take pleasure in everyday routines, to dress presentably, perform household tasks with cheer, and how to conduct oneself both in public and in private.

The Madame Chic series encourages and inspires you to live simply and passionately, no matter your age, background, or location. Like Madame Chic, everyone deserves a little Parisian je ne sais quoi.

Garlic Shrimp Fried Rice

6:50 AM 1 Comments


Today I'm making a fragrant variation of one of my favorite fast dinners, fried rice. I'm adding garlic and shrimp to make this decadent dish. Whenever I cook rice, I always make a double batch so I can make fried rice the next day. This works best with day-old rice. Use the proportions that work for you. If you like to add more vegetables, do so. If you want to use less soy sauce, that works too. This dish is very customizable. I hope you enjoy today's bonus video.



Garlic Shrimp Fried Rice

1 Tbs sesame oil
3-4 cups of day-old rice
1 1/2 Tbs minced garlic
2 cups mixed vegetables (steamed, and no longer frozen)
3 Tbs soy sauce to taste
2 eggs, scrambled
1 cup cooked shrimp
sriracha sauce, cilantro, green onions and avocado to garnish.

Heat sesame oil in a wok or frying pan on medium high heat. Add garlic, cook for one minute. Add rice and cook for a few minutes until the sesame and garlic are fragrant. Add your mixed vegetables and soy sauce to taste (I like to use about 3 Tbs) cook for 2 minutes. Mix in two eggs that you have beaten together with a fork. Lastly add the cooked shrimp. Cook for 2 more minutes. Please note, that over cooking the shrimp will make them rubbery. Remove from heat, being sure to scrape the pan to include the crispy parts when you serve. Garnish with sriracha sauce, cilantro, green onions and avocado.

Mulled Cranberry Tea | Holiday Recipe

6:01 AM 4 Comments


Angi, from A Return to Simplicity, and I have collaborated to bring you a recipe for our favorite holiday teas. She has given me her mulled cranberry tea recipe and I've given her my vanilla chai tea recipe. Be sure to check out Angi making my tea in her video.



The following is Angi's recipe. Please note: I brewed the tea bags in the slow cooker the entire cooking time, wheras Angi's recipe suggests you take the teabags out before starting the slow cooker. My recipe turned out great so either method is fine.

Mulled Cranberry Tea

2 black tea bags
1 cup boiling water
1 bottle (48oz) cranberry juice
1-3 Tablespoons honey (to taste)
1 large lemon sliced
4 cinnamon sticks
6 whole cloves

Place tea bags in crockpot. Pour boiling water over tea bags, cover and let steep 5 minutes. Remove and discard tea bags.

Stir in cranberry juice, honey, lemon slices, cinnamon sticks, and cloves. Cover, cook on LOW 2-3 hours or on HIGH 1-2 hours.

Strain before serving.


This tea was so delicious and easy to make. I had unexpected company the day I made this and it was so nice to offer them such a special drink. This would be excellent for any holiday gathering. Thank you, Angi, for the recipe! Don't forget to check out her channel where she is making my vanilla chai tea.

In the past, I've collaged my favorite seasonal Halsbrook looks like 7 Ways to Style a Neutral Dress, 6 Gorgeous Fall Looks and 6 Chic Summer Looks. Today I'm sharing my favorite combinations from their gift guide, as well as three chic holiday party looks at the end of the post.



Classical elegance The rich, warm gold tones from these accessories would bring a classical and opulent look to any neutral dress.
Serpui Aurora Black and Gold Clutch, Julie Vos Sienna Pearl and Labradorite earrings, Kenneth Jay Lane Pearl and Gold multi-strand necklace.



Late Fall Classics The burgundy, chocolate and gold in these luxury accessories compliment each other beautifully and make for a wonderful transition from fall to winter. Janavi embroidered zebra shawl, Luana Italy Paley Mini Chocolate Cherry Satchel, Julie Vos Medici 6-stone pearl bracelet.



Winter luxury These icy hues bring a cozy, yet glamorous touch to winter wear. Amanda Bond Lucille Pacific Green Marble Modal scarf, Inverni blue cashmere pom pom beanie, Lulu Frost lustre white pearl earrings.

Opulent Textures The combination of velvet and faux croc make this rich winter party look shine with subtlety. LK Bennett Che Midnight Blue Velvet embellished dress, W. Kleinberg black embossed crocodile clutch, Jennifer Behr Made Flower Stud earrings.


Winter Blush Holiday colors don't necessarily need to be dark. This pretty pink look is feminine and cozy at the same time. Sail to Sable pale pink wool cashmere sweater, Eliott Lauren Chino control stretch ankle pant, Bagatelle Celeste Champagne Crystal Beaded Necklace.



Chic and Tweed A classic and sophisticated pairing that is an elegant look for any holiday party. Paul Ka black knit dress with black and white tweed bodice, Paul Ka black and white tweed cardigan, Kenneth Jay Lane gold chain and pearl earrings.

DIY Floral Christmas Wreath

3:04 AM 7 Comments


Join me today as I decorate a floral Christmas wreath. I love doing crafts this time of year and wreath making has always been a hobby I have enjoyed. I've been making wreaths since I was a little girl. My parents still display the ones I have made in their home so they definitely have lasting power! I hope you enjoy watching the tutorial in today's video.



I purchased everything from a local craft store, but for your convenience I have listed all of the supplies below to the best of my ability. If you don't plan to make a wreath this holiday season, a good idea would be to wait until the after Christmas sales to get your faux florals at a heavy discount. I reuse a lot of my crafts supplies every year, making this process very affordable for me.

You will need floral wire, wire cutting scissors, hot glue gun, poinsettia flowers, magnolia flowers, plaid Christmas ribbon, grapevine wreath, faux berry sprigs, pine cone sprigs, frosted pine cone (an alternative option).

Midori_Bujo's notes on Lessons from Madame Chic. Her French husband was surprised how well the Madame Chic books truly capture French living.

BOOK: Lessons From Madame Chic by Jennifer L. Scott | my French husband was surprised at how well the author truly captured the French way of living life with passion, poise, and confidence. It inspired me to take notes and pay more attention to how I dress at home. Rather than be in "comfort clothes" ( jeans/yoga pants and t-shirts) since I work full time at home, I'm wearing nice, flowy tops, with my jeans and (to my daughters joy) incorportated skirts and casual dresses into my wardrobe. I realized, putting thought into what I wear, even if I don't see many people, makes me feel more confident and well, beautiful and my husband and daughters thanked this book for flipping that switch in me. I highly recommend reading this book. #bookrecommendation #jenniferlscott #madamechic #FrenchLiving #bulletjournalcommunity #bulletjournal #bulletjournaljunkies #bujoinspire #bujoidea #Leuchtturm1917

Comment of the Week
I received such great advice regarding onion chopping from Monday's freezer meals video. Many people suggested refrigerating the onions, some suggested dunking them in water, others suggest special onion goggles. The most voted up comment came from Janna G, who wrote: To not cry when cutting onions, put the onion in the freezer for half an hour, works great.

Thank you, Janna! I will try this technique out and report back!

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial. Let me know if you like to make wreaths and what your method is. Your comment could be chosen as comment of the week on the blog. Be sure to check back on the blog tomorrow for a special holiday styling guide from Halsbrook. See you then!

Freezer Cook with Me | December 2017

2:34 AM 13 Comments
Join me as I assemble freezer meals for my family today. I purchased beef stew meat and ground turkey at the grocery store and was able to assemble 8 freezer meals with what I made in this short cooking session.



You will notice that many of these recipes include the same, or similar ingredients. This is intentional. When doing a large cooking session like this, I choose recipes based on similar ingredients for efficiency purposes.

I hope you enjoy today's video.




Beef Stroganoff
makes 3 freezer meals

2 1/2 lbs beef stew meat
1 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 Tbs minced garlic
1 packed onion soup mix
2 cans golden mushroom soup
2 Tbs Worcestershire sauce
1/2 cup water
1 cup sour cream
2 cups chopped mushrooms

Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl. Ladle the mixture into gallon freezer bags. Label and freeze. To cook in the slow cooker, take out one freezer bag the night before and let it thaw in the refrigerator. Cook on low 8 hours or high 3 to 4 hours. To cook in the Instant Pot, you don't even need to thaw it, simply put the frozen food in the pot and pressure cook it on high for 20 minutes. I have tried both ways and this meal is delicious! Serve over egg noodles or rice and garnish with parsley.

*Please note: if you do not want to use beef, substitute mushrooms for the meat.




Beef Tips with Gravy
makes 2 freezer meals

2 1/2 lbs beef stew meat
1 cup beef broth
1 can cream of mushroom soup (or suitable substitute)
1 medium chopped onion
1 1/2 Tbs chopped garlic
1/4 cup brown gravy mix

Mix all ingredients in a large bowl. Divide between gallon freezer bags. This should make about two meals. Freeze. To cook, thaw overnight in the refrigerator. Cook in the slow cooker on low for 8 hours or high for 3 to 4 hours. You can thicken the sauce with 1 Tbs cornstarch and 1 Tbs water mixed together, then mixed in the beef dish about 1/2 hour before the cooking is finished if using the slow cooker. If you are using the Instant Pot, you can cook from frozen 20 minutes on pressure cook. This dish is great served with rice, steamed green beans, dinner rolls and a fresh salad. My husband loves this meal!


For the next two meals, I have cooked 2 1/2 - 3lbs ground turkey with chopped onion, garlic and garlic salt.




Turkey Bolognese (sauce only)


Makes two freezer meals.
Divide the following ingredients between two freezer bags:

1 1/2 lb ground turkey
2 large jars marinara sauce
2 Tbs minced garlic
Chopped mushrooms
chopped greens (spinach, chard or kale)

Please note: use as many vegetables as you like. If you are using less meat, use more mushrooms or other vegetables to bulk up the meal. Freeze for up to three months. When ready to cook, thaw overnight in the fridge. Cook in slow cooker on low for 8 hours or high for three to four hours. For the Instant Pot, cook direct from frozen for 20 minutes on pressure cook. (I cooked this in the Instant Pot last week and it was delicious!) Serve over noodles.





Kid's Favorite Cowboy Casserole

makes 1 large casserole

1 lb ground turkey mixture
1 1/2 cups corn
1 cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup milk
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, divided
garlic salt to taste
1 chopped onion.
1 package tater tots, frozen

Mix the turkey, corn, mushroom soup, sour cream, milk, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, garlic salt and onion together in a bowl. Pour into an aluminum baking pan. Layer tater tots on top. Cover with aluminum foil and label your dish. Freeze for up to three months. Cook from frozen in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for around 1 1/2 hours. Times may vary depending on your oven. Right before taking the casserole out, sprinkle shredded cheese on top to melt. Children love this dish! It's a crowd pleaser.

Oh, Thank You, Jennifer for the great printables! Another great video! At the risk of sounding melodramatic, you have literally changed my life since I started following you on youtube and your blog. I just finished reading all 3 of your books....should be required reading for every woman who wants to elevate every part of her life. You have renewed my love of classical music...you have challenged me to practice poise, even in the mundane parts of my day...you have inspired me to look presentable always, even when I do not feel like it...you have encouraged me to embrace art and culture in new ways (I took a painting class with my grown daughters & LOVED it! My husband & I are going to the ballet to see the Nutcracker next week! I have started buying myself fresh flowers every 2 weeks & arranging them myself!) Won't bore you with more, but you get the picture. Thanks for all you do, my dear!

Cindie, I absolutely loved your testimonial. Everything you wrote is why I continue to do what I do. Thank you for being such a great supporter of my work! Have fun at the Nutcracker!

I hope today's video inspires you to do freezer cooking for your family. It's an integral part of meal planning for us and I am always grateful to have a homemade meal on hand for the days when I do not feel like cooking from scratch.

Please let me know what your favorite meals are to freeze. Also, please let me know if you have any cooking requests for future videos. See you on Thursday!
