Though the Internet is loaded with recipes, sometimes a cookbook is nice to hold and use!
I think this in my current favorite!

Tonight's dinner, "Nouvelle Chicken Veronique"! It is easy, and delicious. It uses red seedless table grapes instead of the traditional green grapes. I substituted champagne vinegar for the balsamic vinegar (because I had no white wine in the house and didn't want to run out for some...I thought the "white" taste of the champagne would work. It did!)



Here is a link to the recipe....I know you will love it!

P.S.--Wini Maranville, the cookbook's author came by with a comment, recommending a salad with blue cheese to compliment the grapes. [coincidentally, I had served romaine with apples and blue cheese with this dinner!]

I am showing you some of my favorite things from today! Above, Judy Garland wondering if she can bake muffins, maybe using the recipe from this "Victory Binding of the American Woman Cookbook". copyright 1942. This book has lots of recipes designed for times of shortages and rationing.

My mom has a copy which was her uncle's book.

A fellow blogger,The Happy Sorceress, found the same cookbook when cleaning out her father's home. She has posted about many of the recipes which she calls "Wartime Wednesdays". [Look for the badge in her sidebar!]

I will read some recipes tonight and plan to cook something in the next few days!
