Chicken with Cider and Tarragon

October 1, 2017 by The Runaway Spoon Leave a Comment

It’s possible I am jumping the gun a little bit here - but I am ready for fall, even if the temperature outside still says summer.

Good beef stew can be one of the most homey and comforting dishes to enjoy on a chilly winter night. But making good beef stew can be a challenge.

I'm P.C. I think I am like most people. Somewhere in the middle between food snob and food schlub. Just being in the kitchen makes me happy. I live, mostly in my kitchen, in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee.
