I remember it being comforting and delicious, and something that we always enjoyed eating. Although many years have passed since those days, having practical budget saving recipes in our culinary repertoire still makes sense. This recipe puts a Southwestern spin on my mom’s classic standby with yummy results. Continue reading “Southwestern Goulash [RECIPE]”

Dear readers,

I’ve been a fan of Heather Graham’s for decades. She has a knack for writing nailbiting thrillers chock full of fascinating characters who find themselves in unfathomable predicaments. To say she’s given me more than a few sleepless nights over the years would be a huge understatement. Her forthcoming novel, A Dangerous Game, is yet another example of why she is still at the top of her game. I hope you enjoy the following excerpt from this breathlessly paced new book.

Happy reading!

One of my favorite ways to prepare poultry of late is to spatchcock it, which means we remove the bird’s backbone and roast it flattened out in a large cast iron skillet. It cuts the time from oven to table in half (at least), and cooks the bird much more thoroughly. It also delivers a juicy, succulent chicken instead of the tough, dry ones traditional roasting methods sometimes create. The addition of chardonnay and tomatoes adds a new dimension to the flavor profile that is simply yummy.  Continue reading “Spatchcock Chicken with Tomatoes and White Wine Sauce [RECIPE]”
