Happy New Year!
While I seldom blog recipes from other places, this easy chicken stew from Bon Appétit is luscious and makes a quick change from my typical winter beef or lamb stews. I've made it a time or two for friends, fixing it mostly beforehand, adding the cream right before serving. A scoop of rice and some fresh, sauteéd spinach make for a healthier and well-rounded meal and even lowers the price per serving. However, not to fear: this recipe uses inexpensive chicken thighs to start with.My kitchen is still a Christmas kitchen--tins full of cookies, crocks full of nuts. Leftovers in the frig. Christmas dishes in the cupboard. On and on. I'm really still in holiday mode and am not back to a regular routine of grocery shopping, cooking, writing, blogging, choir rehearsals, etc. It is only the tenth day of Christmas (10 Lords-a-leaping!) and I celebrate all twelve days of Christmas plus Epiphany. Come Sunday night (January 6--Epiphany), you'll find a table full of people at my house, still decorated, come to have one last, light Christmas romp complete with games.
