![]() Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and some may say it might be one of the most stressful days to dine out. With that in mind, have you considered having a special dinner at home? I did. While food shopping yesterday at my local Wegmans, I came across pre-made Beef Wellingtons. I noticed when I was perusing through their app earlier, there was even a digital coupon for $5 off. The cost for the entree was $15 per portion. A quick text to my husband and he was agreeable to this special dinner. With my entree chosen, I went over to the produce department and selected a pound of Brussels sprouts for roasted sprouts topped with pomegranate molasses. The molasses are available at Wegmans in the international aisle. As I had some fresh rosemary in my refrigerator, I thought roasted rosemary potatoes would be a great accompaniment.

![]() I was feeling rather ambitious the other day and with the weather being cold, I decided I to make a pot of chicken stock. I found the recipe many years ago in Gourmet Magazine, March 1991. I made it quite a bit when my children were young, but now only once in a great while. One of the last times I made the stock, both of our Brittany Spaniels were alive. After I separated the liquid from the solids, I would cut up the celery and carrots and feed them to Rose and Daisy. How they loved to eat those chicken flavored veggies! ![]() What is Indian summer? The dictionary defines it as “a period of unusually dry, warm weather occurring in late autumn.” Hopefully after last week’s heat and the rain today, we can put summer behind us and move into cooler, less humid weather. Many years ago, Delicious Orchards featured a soup befitting Indian summer, it's cream of cauliflower soup. The soup is quite easy to prepare. You’ll need 5-6 cups of chicken stock and three cups of milk, light cream or heavy cream. In the past I used to use heavy cream, however, becoming more health conscious, I opted for whole milk as I wanted a creamy taste, but with less fat. For this preparation I used Organic Valley whole milk that I purchased at Whole Foods for $2.99/quart. The cauliflower was from Delicious Orchards and costs approximately $2.99 per head.
![]() Below is the recipe for Great Grandma Freid's dressing for turkey or chicken. Grandma's recipe called for margarine, but I have updated it to butter. I also use half of the amount of butter called for and substitute chicken stock. You can also add the defatted turkey drippings over the top of the stuffing so that it has the flavor of turkey. Alternately, you can add the drippings to your turkey gravy to enhance the flavor. |
