Practicing Stealth Health (and FUN) Daily!


Happy St Patricks Day!
Beer Braised Chicken 
Yes! You can enjoy a glass of wine with this beer braised chicken. I've suggested a affordable and easy drinker with this awesome chicken braise. This dish is perfect for the almost-warm-still-chilly evenings of March and April.I think that once you try it, you'll put this recipe in regular rotation. I enjoy serving it up to 
not only family, but friends too! 

LOTS of fun on Atlanta and Company yesterday! The week was a little crazy for both me and the show, so my segment was moved from Monday to Thursday. Sorry if you tuned in on Monday and didn't find me - that's show business:) Here's a photo with the ever-cheerful and handsome Tom Sullivan from the show with me in the kitchen, prepping for the segment. Watch the segment at ATL & CO. And don't miss the recipes from the show - they are on my latest blog post, the easiest and best ever chicken noodle soup recipe HERE
(A gluten free version with carrot noodles, too!)


 
Remember the info on the California Trip I posted a while ago? The trip filled almost immediately, and we have a small group of interesting folks to join us, (Wonderful Wine Guru Sandra Moore and me), on our trip at the end of the month. One of the things I think is very important when hosting a trip, is to bring travelers together before the trip begins. We hosted our group this week, and it was a blast. I'm sharing a picture of the table before the wines were poured. 
(Note, we are serious about enjoying all the different wines, the Red Solo cups were a companion last night and I'll have a stock of them on our trip:) We're gonna sip a lot of good wine AND food together.
 


If all goes well, the website will be done for next week's Friday Four. Did you know there will be a search button to discover all the recipes on the website - whether they are Friday Four, Spicy Tuesday, or Blog recipes? WooHOO!
 But remember, its going to take a while to get all those Friday Fours transferred over - so make sure to go back and save or 
print the ones you'll need soon.

A red onion is going to add LOTS of flavor to this week's recipe. Here's how to chop it quickly and easily.

Its WINE TIME!  

Just a few seats left!

You can enjoy wine AND get your WINE certificate from Emory by completing my 

Wine Basics and Beyond Class!

Have you found the study of wine to be daunting? Filled with snobbery and elitism? I invite you join me in a four-part series to taste wine and learn about different varietals, how wine is made and the fascinating people behind these creations. 

We will discuss how to taste wine with ease, different styles and types of wines, interesting wine characteristics and fascinating regional differences of wine from around the world. More importantly, this course will help you start to develop your own point of view, enabling you to confidently order wine in business and social settings. 

This series promises to be fun and enlightening for both the novice and enthusiast. Six to eight wines will be tasted at each class, accompanied by light food pairings. A NEW and REVISED course notebook will be furnished to each participant. You must be at least 21 years old in order to take this class. Must have a valid ID.

Like the picture above? Its the lineup of wines from a recent Emory class, including one of the vineyards we will be visiting 
on the California PopUp trip!

Don't wait the class is filling up quickly!
