Chicken Veronique

How is this for the main course of the meal - chicken with grapes with a wine butter sauce.

This recipe came from Chicken Breasts by Diane Rozas. I have had this book for a while and cooked quite a number of recipes from this including Chicken Paprika.
Here is the recipe.

Here is the chicken in the pan, ready to be served. The grapes are heated a minute before serving so they had a very fresh flavor. I cut the chicken breasts in half. I actually only bought a little bit over a pound of chicken breasts.

This meal is really appetizing and if you are worried about not having a dinner that included grapes as part of the main course - don't be. I have a fussy eater in my household who at first turned up their nose at grapes. Then they tried it and said it was quite tasty.

I leave you with this quote:

Trader Joe's Boeuf Bourguignon

I always love to try new things and due to my hospitalization I had some TV dinners for lunch (you do not have to tell me I am glutton for punishment when I say the words "TV Dinner"). So I dared to try Trader Joe's Boeuf Bourguignon.

 On the back of the package their are three different ways to heat it.  I choose to heat it up in the oven. You take the meal out of the package and put it in a covered pan and heat it at 350 F for 40 to 45 minutes. Just to let you know I have also tried the Coq au Vin.

Here is the meal in a bowl for which I opted to dump it all in on top of some leftover noodles I had. You can see the bowl overflowed some.The meal was okay but I would say the meal would better served if I made it from scratch.
On another note I am now working for the Ivoryton Playhouse. I take care of their blog.
The world is becoming more exciting in the poitical arena as we get closer and closer to Elections, but thank goodness we have Halloween to give us a thrill before then.
Live life to its fullest and have a great day.
