Summer Chicken Stew #FarmersMarketWeek

 I call this Summer Chicken Stew, not only because it is chock-full of the flavors of the season, but also because it is cooked using a slow cooker, perfect for hot summer days when you don't want to heat up the house.

T is for Tomato

Michigan's Tomatoes are prolific and nearing the end of their growing season as summer comes to an end.  Peaches are being harvested, and the last of the Sweet Corn is found at street-side stands.  I took all of this end-of-summer bounty and created this gorgeous salad.

Butter Roasted Tomato Sauce, The Weekly Menu and a Book Review

This pasta sauce is ready in less than an hour, but it tastes as though it has simmered all day long.  This sauce can be prepared and kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.  Simply rewarm it and toss in a little of the pasta cooking water to loosen it for coating the pasta.

I was inspired to make this pasta dish after reading Under the Knife by Tess Gerritsen....

Exploring a Dealcoholized Wine

So as the New Year begins I, as I'm sure many of you, think about taking better care of myself.  I work out several times a week, I walk daily, and I try to eat healthily for the most part.  But I DO like my wine and that wine turns immediately to sugar and belly fat.

Dealcoholized Wine

I had been seeing and hearing more and more about non-alcohol and dealcoholized wines and decided to do some tasting research on my own.
