Parsley Wild Rice

I made wild rice and parsley yesterday. I sautéed mushrooms (1lb.) for 14 minutes. In another pot I had a cup of wild rice simmering in 6 cups of water for 45 minutes. When the mushrooms were golden I mixed the wild rice with the mushrooms and sprinkled 4 tbsp. of fresh parsley and 2 tbsp. of fresh squeezed lemon on top. You can add salt and pepper if you wish. I found this recipe on Martha Stewart website.  http://www.marthastewart.com/314462/wild-rice-with-mushrooms-and-parsley

Chicken Cacciatore

Yesterday I made chicken cacciatore. I put an 1/2 cup of flour on waxed paper and added salt and pepper. I coated the chicken with the flour and browned the chicken in a skillet. I removed the chicken and browned an onion. I added oregano (2 tsp., salt and pepper) a 1/2 cup of wine and cooked half liquid off. I then added a can of petite cut tomatoes with juice and 2 minced cloves of garlic. I covered and let this cook for 10 minutes. I added the chicken, covered and let cook for 20 minutes more. Serve over pasta.

Chicken and Mushrooms

This afternoon we were driving home and an older lady came on the radio with this recipe: Chicken, Cream of Mushroom Soup plus 1/2 can of milk and onions. I decided to make it for supper. I browned onion and mushrooms, then browned the chicken. Put in 9x12 and added cream of mushroom soup (I was going to make my own cream sauce, but I cheated), covered with tin foil, placed in oven and baked for half an hour. Boiled some Amish noodles and when chicken was done mixed them into chicken. I actually added another can of cream of mushroom because it was a little runny and placed back in over uncovered for ten minutes more.
Was delicious.

New York

It's first time I have been in New York since I was about four.  I love it.
Although it's a sad time for my husband. We are here for his cousin's funeral.
It was so nice having a Whole Foods just a block's walk away!

We bought some Pasta and sauce and some butternut squash and cranberries.
It was wonderful.  What is so wonderful is that it was late...the stores stay open
until 11. 

Can't wait to see the view of Central Park from the balcony tomorrow morning.
