    woo hoo! she cooks!!
    and what's better - he cleans!!

    my stew (Chicken Stew with Shallots, Cider, and Butternut Squash) was FABULOUS, if I do say so myself. Everyone had seconds, and e. cleaned her bowl. j. was served too much rice (by me), and did not clean her bowl, but beloved cleaned it for her!

    Here is a link to the recipe. I did not have shallots, so I chopped up 4 cloves of garlic and a small red onion. I later crushed 4 MORE cloves of garlic and let them simmer in the final simmer. It did NOT require the final 55 minutes of simmer-time. It was ready within 30. It calls for 2 cups of butternut squash, but i would do at least 4 cups, and 3 pounds of chicken. I only did thighs and the dark meat absorbed the flavor of the cider beautifully.

    I will be keeping this recipe, and hopefully making it again. So perfect for fall.

    I think it will also inspire me to pull out my old butternut squash SOUP recipe that i used to make in my paralegal days, and bring for lunch every day (b/c I was the only one who liked it -- the girls did not).

    woo hoo!! cooking is fun!!
