Welcome To My Blog!

For the past year, I've had the experience of being a part of the Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club Cookbook Committee. Our committee is in the process of finishing our cookbook, A Stir In The Mist: Tastes and Traditions of Niagara Falls. It is a collection of recipes from the Niagara Falls community and local restaurants. All proceeds from the sale of this book will go directly to the Niagara Falls Boys and Girls Club. Just recently I have relocated to Ohio, but still wanted to be involved with the book. After watching the movie Julie and Julia, I was inspired to share the great recipes from our cookbook and the experience I had making each of them. I hope you will enjoy the journey I will take stirring my way through A Stir In The Mist!

Let the "stirring" begin!

Well I have started this venture through the cookbook. First things first, each recipe I do will only be a little story about the steps it took to get to the final product. There will be no ingredients given out and no steps to how I got every great tasting recipe to turn out so delicious. That is for you to find out when you purchase or when someone else purchases"A Stir in the Mist" for you!!

I will apologize now for any grammar or punctuation mistakes I may make. I know I am coming from a family of educators, therefore I should know better about these things, but I may make a few mistakes. Soo lets get started....

Chicken Scaloppini

Chicken Scaloppini is in the entree section of "A Stir in the Mist" and you will love it!
This recipe can be made one of two ways, you can cook it all on the stove or to make it easier especially if you are working all day or just busy throughout the day you can cook it all day in the slow cooker on low.
I have to apologize for the limited amount of pictures that I took for this recipe. I was in a little bit of a rush to get things put together before work yesterday so I was not able to spoil you with pictures.
This recipe does call for white wine, quite a bit too ha..ha.. as you are pouring the wine into the pot you may think it is quite a bit, but ohh its tasty.
Make sure you are using Golden Mushroom Soup and not Cream of Mushroom Soup in this recipe. The two soups have quite a different taste so I would not mix that up.
I did cook this recipe in my slow cooker on low for 6 hours. Before I put all my ingredients into the slow cooker I did season my chicken on the stove a little with salt and pepper and a little garlic powder before adding to the rest of the ingredients.
As this recipe is cooking your mouth is sure to water from the aroma that fills your kitchen, it is a guarentee!

Once the chicken and the rest of the tasty ingredients are all cooked, you can then boil your choice of macaroni. Bow Tie Pasta goes great with this dish. I was out so I used Rigatoni(Marcos Favorite) Once you have boiled your macaroni you can then add it either to your pot or slow cooker that has the chicken mixture in it.

This dish is good all on its own. There is no need for a side dish, if anything a nice salad and if you can get your hands on some DiCamillos fresh italian bread, Go for it!!
Enjoy and even though there is wine in the recipe, do not be afraid to enjoy this meal with a nice glass of white wine.
