22 recipes with wine to use on National Drink Wine Day - TODAY - TODAY Posted: 18 Feb 2021 12:01 PM PST In case anyone needs an excuse to grab a glass of their go-to sauvignon blanc or pinot noir, today is National Drink Wine Day, a holiday we can surely all get behind. But if you're looking to get a little more creative with your celebration, here are 22 ways to infuse warm, wintry dishes with a splash (or two) of white or red. The drinks in this list, of course, are fully alcoholic, but for those who don't drink, the food recipes burn off the alcohol and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Many of the dishes, from beef stew to seafood pasta and fried chicken to chocolate cake, work with many different types of wine, so feel free to grab any bottle you having lying around. And, of course, feel free to sip on a glass as you cook. Cheers! Drink Getty Images This is the mulled wine recipe to end all mulled wine recipes. With all the wintry spices and notes of citrus, it'll warm you right up from the inside.  Casey Barber Herbs, berries and wine: a trio made in wintry heaven. Try this delicious spin on iced sangria made with a drier, fruitier wine like shiraz or malbec.  Mike Smith / TODAY There's nothing better on a chilly February evening than a warm, cozy drink. While many might turn to ciders or hot toddies, but this is a fun Swedish wine-based drink that might just become your new favorite for cooler months. Savory Tyler Essary / TODAY This is the rare recipe that looks complicated and impressive but is actually so simple to make. This eye-catching, ruby-red pasta is always the star of the dinner table and only takes 20 minutes from start to finish.  Nathan Congleton / TODAY Jumbo lump crab is delicate and delicious. This Italian-inspired dish is reminiscent of a candlelit dinner on a cliffside outside Genoa, but it's actually incredibly fast and straightforward to produce at home.  TODAY Illustration / Getty Images Fresh fettuccine with a ragù of beef is a play off the classic Tuscan wild boar ragù. Ground beef or pork, or a combination of both, works well for the American home kitchen.  Kara Birnbaum/TODAY Awaze is a versatile sauce hailing from Ethiopia where it's used on just about everything. You can use it as a finishing sauce brush it on just about any protein (fish, poultry, tofu or tempeh) before grilling, sautéing or roasting. In Ethiopia, they use local honey wine to make this sauce, but here we can use a combo of red wine and honey to replicate its sweet but tannic flavor.  Nathan Congleton / TODAY This succulent, tender brisket with its robust and aromatic sauce is well worth the time it takes to prepare. The prunes completely break down under pressure, giving the sauce body and sweetness, while the smoked paprika, cinnamon and bay leaf make it fragrant and complex  Alamy stock The gravy for this ropa vieja is extremely robust and is wonderful for spooning over white rice or even pasta.

Aubrie Pick / Giada's Italy: My Recipes for La Dolce Vita This is the perfect Sunday supper when Giada is able to enjoy every step of this recipe and really take her time. As an added bonus, letting the short ribs braise for so long makes the house smell great and gets everyone excited for dinner!  Jim Henkens / Joel Gamoran Turned wine isn't trash: It's natural vinegar. Soaking chicken in it helps the meat get super tender and gives it the tart-honey-musky flavor of wine grapes. In this simple recipe, the wine really comes through in every bite.  Nathan Congleton / TODAY There's a reason this French stew is so many chefs and celebrities' favorite recipe to make. The quintessential beef stew is perfect for winter. Though it may sound fancy, the dish is made of inexpensive beef chuck, ingredients that can be found at any supermarket, and is super simple to prepare.  Getty Images stock "I adore the freshness that zoodles add to this dish," Valerie Bertinelli says about this wine-infused seafood dish. "The zucchini noodles and lemon zest add a brightness that is missing from traditional shrimp scampi with regular pasta."

Fresh citrus zests perk up the rich olive oil cake while warm cinnamon and red wine add depth to the juicy pears. It's absolutely irresistible.  Giada's Italy: My Recipes for La Dolce Vita If you're looking for a dessert that is impressive, easy and delicious, this is the one! It takes just 10 minutes to combine the indulgent flavors of the red wine, warm cinnamon and zesty orange, but it tastes like you spent hours perfecting the silky sauce.  TODAY Didn't quite finish that bottle of red wine last night? Use it to make chocolate cake, of course! This rich and seductive cake is fudgy on the inside with a hint of red wine.

Woman finds husband's 'secret Instagram account' full of recipes - TODAY Posted: 18 Feb 2021 12:52 PM PST "Last week, I found out my husband had a secret Instagram account." Rachael Sullivan began a now-viral TikTok video with this phrase, after Instagram suggested she follow her husband, Tom Sullivan, on the app. "It was on the 'people you may know' section," Rachael told TODAY Food. "It said 'Tom Sullivan @MealsSheEats,' and I was like, 'Who is this 'she'?'" When she clicked on photos in the account, Rachael said she was touched. Each image in Tom's feed contained photos and recipes of food he's been cooking her for the last year to help regulate her hormones. "I went to the doctor for a checkup and my hormone levels came back all whacked out and I had cysts near my ovaries," Rachael explained. "That's when I was diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome. They recommend you do a gluten- and dairy-free diet, and Tom just went full force into it." Tom, who has been an enthusiastic home cook for the last 11 years, said he started his Instagram account as a way to save a record of the recipes he cooks, since often he reads through a few different recipes then combines them with his own cooking style to create the final dish. "I have all these recipes everywhere," said Tom. "An Instagram page just seemed like an easy place to organize them. It was for when Rachael would say, 'Hey, what was that meal you made here,' or when friends would ask what Rachael posted on her Instagram and ask for the recipe." Tom's recipes all take inspiration from the book "Woman Code" by Alyssa Viti, which contains a list of foods women should eat during each part of their menstrual cycle to naturally regulate their hormones. Whether it's black-eyed peas during the luteal phase or lamb while ovulating, Tom follows the list of foods and cooks meals designed to help Rachael feel her best. "Tom knows more about menstrual cycles than most women do," Rachael joked. "And, I'm six months regulated right now, which is super exciting." The Sullivans, who moved from Chicago, Illinois to North Carolina last year, say they're hoping to improve their chances of conceiving, and joked that if Rachael becomes pregnant, Tom will most likely find a book about the best foods for pregnant women and adjust his cooking style accordingly. In the meantime, Tom's sweet way of caring for his wife of four years has also gone viral. His Instagram account went from 69 followers to over 6,000 in the days after Rachael shared her story on TikTok. For now, the couple said they will continue eating "Woman Code"-style meals, focusing on seasonal foods from their local farmers market and making go-to dishes like roasted sheet pan vegetables and "bowls" filled with whatever ingredients Viti recommends for Rachael's particular phase in her cycle. "I literally love this man so much," Rachael says at the end of her TikTok. "And there's nothing I want more in life than to just have his babies."   |

Swiss chard’s versatility as a leafy green shines in these 4 recipes - The Washington Post Posted: 18 Feb 2021 11:00 AM PST  Swiss chard, though not actually from Switzerland but from the Mediterranean, is a beautiful vegetable with bright stems and deep-green leaves, quite as easily used as spinach. A relative of the beet, in species and slightly in flavor when raw, chard can be subbed in for almost any hardy, leafy-green vegetable. Although many forgo edible kale or collard stems because of their tough texture, chard stems are usually eaten as well, by chopping and sauteing them before adding the leaves. Read on for some of our favorite chard preparations, and check out our Recipe Finder for even more recipes featuring the vegetable.  |
