		<title>Hungarian Stuffed Cabbage</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Both of my parents were born in Hungary, and, lucky for me, my Mom still loves to make Hungarian dishes.  Stuffed Cabbage is a family favorite, especially in the colder months, and I&#8217;ve adapted my Mom&#8217;s recipe a little bit over time. If you decide to make the dish, be sure to set aside [...]]]></description>

We normally make this soup the day after Thanksgiving, but with turkey and turkey stock. It uses the leftover Wild Rice Casserole which we make extra of just so we can have this soup! The wine (Marco Negri) that is used in this soup is a sweeter white wine.  My cousin gave us this [...]]]></description>

		<title>Chicken Stock</title>

Chicken stock is a great substitute whenever using water to add flavor.  Whether we are making soup or rice, we always like to have homemade chicken stock in the house; you can make extra and put it in the freezer for later use.

Whole Fryer Chicken, cut up

Ends of four Carrots

Being married to a former pizza place cook isn&#8217;t easy&#8230;my husband is a pizza snob.

One of the things I love about fall is making spring rolls.  We fry them out in the garage to avoid the greasy, smelly mess they can leave in their wake.  Here in Wisconsin, it is too hot and humid in the summer and way too cold in the winter, so we stock [...]]]></description>

Unlike most sweet and sour sauces, this one is not red and thick.  I see no reason to add red food coloring or make it gloppy and thick.  The basic recipe can be done in any  amount as it is just equal parts water to vinegar and equal parts liquid to sugar.

I am still amazed at the wonderful treasures we can find at our Farmer&#8217;s Market!  Today, we scored a pint of the elusive ground cherry.   What are those I asked?

The sweetness of the mango&#8217;s &#38; plantains with the heat of the jalapenos makes this a winner. This would be great with Grilled Tostones.
