DAY 1’s CHICKEN CACCIATORE recipe is an oldie but goodie! You definitely can use your favorite wine, either white or red. We love the taste of sherry so we use that in ours. It’s well worth it to invest in a decent bottle of sherry. A typical bottle of good sherry should be around $6.00 – $7.00 and will last a couple of years.
This Week ….
DAY 2’s OCTOBERFEST – This meal is really very easy to prepare- the only catch is allowing enough time to marinate the beef! The pancakes are the only dish that really needs preparation- once the meat is cooking, everything else just needs heated on the stove top. The gravy is so delicious no one will believe how easy it is to make. This is a Dinner Planner October favorite.
DAY 6’s Sweet and Sour Pork was another favorite. We like to buy the pineapple rings and cut them up instead of buying the pineapple tidbits. The pineapple just seems a lot juicer.
This week’s dessert, Apple Crisp, tastes like Apple Pie without the fuss of the crust. Enjoy!
Take advantage of the frozen packages of cauliflower rice. They are healthy, convenient and delicious. Not everyone has time to prepare cauliflower rice from scratch so these frozen packages are perfect for a quick dinner side dish.
Add toasted almonds and additional veggies to the rice to enhance the flavor.
