Question on this recipe, Coe. I'd like to try it, but we don't use alcohol at all in our home (even to cook with). Is there anything I can use in place of the white wine? Thanks!
Also....not judging anyone who uses alcohol...we just don't due to family members who are recovering alcoholics.

Shelly - I know what you are saying ... just so you know, the alcohol does cook out, but I don't usually have it on hand either, so I don't know what you could use in it's place.
Anyone???

Anytime (except in dessert recipes ) that alcohol is called for, you may substitute chicken broth, (beef broth if it's a beef recipe), or water or vegetable broth. It'll be just fine. The only time you may have a little trouble with this rule, is if you're using cornstarch to thicken a sauce, like Chinese recipes. Often, chinese sauce recipes call for cooking sherry, the alcohol keeps the sauce from becoming gluey...but you can use chicken broth as long as you whisk it very well with the cornstarch.
Thanks Coe!!! That really helps a lot. I have seen many recipes that I would like to try, but due to some form of alcohol I don't. David got a Veal Marsala one time and could not even eat it...you could smell the alcohol so strong and it hadn't been cooked long enough to get it out. He couldn't even eat it....ever since the Lord delivered him personally from it, he can't stand the smell or anything of it.
Chelle...I forgot, but to re-answer your previous question about alcohol in recipes...you can also buy non-alcohol cooking wine. I forgot all about this! Graham Kerr (The Galloping Gourmet...remember him?) is a recovering alcoholic (and a born again Christian...yeah God !!!) and he uses non-alcohol wine all the time in his cooking. You might try that. I know that in our grocery store they sell it right next to the cooking wine and it isn't too expensive.

Great job Coe!!!! I thought of one for Y....but we don't have a recipe on the board for it....Yankee Pot Roast How's that?
Pretty good Chelle! To be honest...we didn't have one for X & O Cookies...I had to go out looking for something. It's amazingly hard to find recipes that start with X...lol!
