"Also known as "Pollo Estofado" this stewed chicken recipe is Spanish in origin. The chicken is marinated overnight in a spicy vinaigrette with olives and raisins. The chicken is then cooked in its marinade with the addition of wine and brown sugar. Excellent with Spanish rice. The recipe comes from one my mother clipped from the Sacramento Bee in 1984. From Simplyrecipes.com. Prep time does not include marinating time. Very tasty! :)"

I've been married to the same great guy for 27 years now. We never had any children, but we have two cats, Otis & Milo. They are litter-mates, half Abyssinian/half tabby, and are my "baby boys"!:) I love to cook, and am an AVID recipe collector. I probably have more cookbooks than I'd like to admit, but I'm always on the look-out for something new and different to try. I also enjoy gardening and riding my bicycle during the summer months. Nothing like fresh tomatoes, peppers and herbs, straight out of the garden!:)
