Chicken Scaloppine with Red Wine Mushroom Sauce
Scaloppine is meat that is flattened by pounding and usually dredged in flour or breadcrumbs. My friend Barbee saw this Chicken Scaloppine with Red Wine Mushroom Sauce on The Chew and said it was the best chicken she had ever made or eaten! I have to agree with her, it's a winner.

The East Villa Cocktail
Grapefruit and vodka is no new pairing, not by a long shot; the Salty Dog is a testament to that. If, like us, you have a winter crop of grapefruit, then finding new uses for this fruit is a great thing. The East Villa cocktail is a variation on an old theme—a lighter, fresher, herbal take on the classic Greyhound. Rosemary gives this an herbal edge while the sparkling grapefruit soda (you can use plain soda water) gives this drink a a lift that evokes summer coolers, well into fall and winter.

Sweet and Spicy Roast Chicken
This Sweet and Spicy Roast Chicken has a chile-flecked, honey-imbued marinade spiked with fresh citrus juice gives this chicken its fiery, syrupy character. Dates and carrots give the sauce texture and additional sweetness while a garnish of fresh herbs and pistachio nuts lends freshness and crunch. The ingredients can be assembled up to 24 hours in advance, then all you need to do is pop it in the oven just before your guests arrive, and garnish it at the last minute. Serve it with couscous, polenta, rice or another soft grain to soak up the sauce.

Middle Eastern Roasted Tomatoes and Chickpeas with Bulgur
I love bulgur, which is a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine, traditionally used to make tabbouleh and pilafs. It has a satisfying, chewy texture and mild, nutty taste. Whole wheats, like bulgur, are richer in nutrients and vitamins than refined, processed wheat, which has been stripped of many beneficial ingredients. You can use bulgar in place of wheat berries, couscous or rice in your favorite grain salad recipes. This Middle Eastern Roasted Tomatoes and Chickpeas with Bulgur is a great way to give it a try!
