Cherly's Chicken with Ellie's Basil Vinaigrette

"Yum,yum. I bought your Basil Vinaigrette at the Salem Farmers Market and just made a really tasty and simple chicken dish using it.  Here's what I did:  Cut two chicken breasts in large chunks and stir-fry them on medium high heat in olive oil and garlic until nice and brown. Lower the heat a bit and let them cook through. Remove the chicken to a serving dish - season with salt and pepper.  De-glaze the pan by adding a little white wine (lemon juice would also work) and stir to loosen all of the pieces stuck to the bottom of the pan.  Add about  1/4 cup of Ellie's Basil Vinaigrette and continue to stir until it is warm.  Pour this sauce over the chicken and serve.  I put a little fresh chopped basil on top, but sliced lemons or some fresh raspberries would go well also."

Thanks, Cheryl! Always happy to hear how our friends are using our product. 

ENJOY!

15th Annual Haunted Happenings Parade TOMORROW

So we've caught up on laundry, organized closets, and definitely had ENOUGH rain. If the forecasters are right (insert crossed fingers here) tomorrow should be a perfect fall day.

Here's an idea - come down to Front Street in Salem, Mass. and shop at the Salem Farmer's Market. Things you can expect at the market tomorrow: cucumbers, scallions, pumpkins, beets, Rosario/European eggplant, amaranth, pea tendrils, Chinese broccoli, Bok choy, summer cauliflower, green leaf lettuce, Swiss chard, Oak leaf lettuce, Kale, parsnips, potatoes, corn, peppers, zucchini, fresh eggs, salad turnips, fennel, carrots, pies, honey, cider donuts, and more!
Wondering what kind of apples might be available?

• Macintosh
• Macoun
• Cortland
• Ginger Gold
• Gala
• Honey Crisp

You might decide to stay for the Parade which includes 6 marching bands, 57 entries, and an equestrian group. A very festive time for all!!

Enjoy!
