Welcome to My Kitchen

This is the place that I love to be. I like to be creative and cooking is what is doing it for me these days. It's kind of a necessity and it makes me feel accomplished. I like knowing what we are eating and where it comes from. I go out of my way to make sure this happens.
I like that I don't buy several household staples from a grocery store. I enjoy making applesauce, jams and jellies, apple butter, spaghetti sauce, spicy mustard, pickles and anything else I can.
I like getting dirty, getting my hands into things, feeling and experiencing my food from the beginning to the end. I like making things, growing things and bringing those two together to create a healthy meal. I like nourishing others and knowing that I did my best to give them the best.

Chicken with Mushrooms and Red Wine Review and Picture

Okay, so I never tried this before and it was REALLY good.  We actually liked it better than the regular Marsala wine recipe so I think I will be making this even more.  One hint, when you use the flour and spices to coat the chicken, if there is some leftover, just add it to the top of the chicken pieces.  Pour it right in!  It thickens up the wine sauce into a gravy and it is very tasty.

    Nolan liked it. Maura wasn't home but likes the traditional Chicken Marsala.

    You know, I have problems selecting a good wine for food. What name and type of wine did you use? (like Moe's Vineyard Riesling). I have been wanting to try a coq au vin type dish and haven't yet due to the undrinkability of the reds i've bought. If I don't want to drink it, I don't want my food swimming in it!

    For this I used Crane Lake Cabernet Sauvignon. It was purchased at Meijer rather cheap too. I usually just try something new every time until I find something I really like. I don't drink red wine so I go by the smell usually.

    I made this for dinner tonight! It is still simmering, but it smells so good. I am serving it with buttered egg noodles and sautéed kale.
