In same pan, sauté onion, garlic, and tomatoes until tomatoes begin to break down, 8-10 minutes. Lower heat, pour in wine. Stir in rosemary, thyme, and olives. Simmer for 10 minutes. Return chicken to pan. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat til chicken is tender, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.

    To Your Good Health

    Autumn Apple Coffee Treat
    As Fall arrives with a cool bite in the air, tree leaves turning to rust and gold, what better way to celebrate the coming holiday season then with a warm drink.

    Coffee both caffeinated and decaf lends itself to an autumn bounty of apples. Freshly ripened this is the perfect time to press sweet apple juice into your favorite coffee. This satisfying tart-sweetness is even more delicious then it is healthy. Coffee has been long known to contain beneficial properties and apples are equally credited with necessary vitamins.

    Time to spice it up:
    1 C. brewed Coffee (8 ounces)
    1 C. pure Apple juice (8 ounces)
    2 Cinnamon sticks
    2 Orange slices (leave rind on)
    2 Cloves (whole)
    ¼ tsp. Allspice
    2 tsp. Honey, Brown Sugar, or sugar substitute.

    Brew coffee as you wish and set aside.
    Using the English ‘proper cup of tea’ method, pour boiling water into 2 cups and cover with saucer.

    Add apple juice, coffee, and spices to sauce pan to slow low simmer, add orange slices plus any desired sweetener.

    Allow 3 to 5 minutes to blend flavors, stirring occasionally.

    Pour warming water out of cups. Using fine wire mesh tea strainer, strain coffee-apple mixture into them.

    Serve immediately with toasty-warm graham crackers or small spice cookie for a Fall treat.

    Under A Buck

    Moving into the Dollar world with all the Dollar and 99 Cents Only Stores as well as Walmart this month, is Target Stores new Dollar Section.

    Our research shopping found more then we can begin to describe here but Target placed a huge section right at the entry of its Miramesa Calif store.

    There they set up 8 block attached sections filled with back to school, toys, kitchen uninsels, make up, bath products, etc.

     The best way to explain it is to recommend looking for yourself, it's almost impossible to come away without all kinds of $1 goodies you'll find you don't want to go home without.  
                               

    Bulging Budgets
    Rubber bands last longer if kept in the refrigerator.

    Then make up a few cleaning products and save cash for holiday fun.

    Cleaning Recipes
    GLASS AND WINDOW CLEANER
    1/2 c. ammonia
    1 pt. rubbing alcohol
    1 tsp. laundry detergent
    2 qt. water
    Mix the ingredients in a large bottle. Makes 2 quarts.


    COPPER AND BRASS SPRAY CLEANER
    White vinegar
    3 Tbsp. salt

    Fill a small spray bottle with vinegar and add salt. Spray the solution on copper utensils, let stand for a while and then rub clean.

    DRAIN CLEANER
    1 c. salt
    1 c. soda
    1/4 c. cream of tartar

    Mix ingredients together. Dissolve one cup of cleaner in one cup of hot water. Put in drain. When bubbling stops, rinse drain with hot water.

    Season To Taste...
    Cinnamon Sour Cream
    1/4 C. sour cream
    2 tsp sugar
    1/8 tsp cinnamon
    Dash of Nutmeg

    Mix and serve with fresh winter fruit. You can use it as salad dressing, too. If used as a dressing, canned fruit garnised with coconut and/or toasted chopped nuts is great.
