Cooking with wine

[caitiebug 26]

I'm making a meal for my family, the recipe calls for 1/2 cup of wine and chicken broth cooking the mixture down to half. I don't plan on guzzling the sauce but I'd like to add a little when I stick my portion in the blender. Sad choice?

No not at all. Cooking with wine is perfectly acceptable. There will be an increase in calories, but you are cooking out the alcohol. There will be an increase in sugars as the sauce reduces, so go really easy on it. But you should be fine for the most part.

Cooking with it is perfectly fine. Having a glass of wine WHILE you are cooking with it, even better! :D

Provided you are cleared my your Dr. for it. Don't want to tell anyone it's ok, if it's not. Every Dr. has their opinion about it. Mine says it's fine after 6 weeks.

BTW: Watcha cookin?
