I'm no expert, but This is what I found online. Sounds like good advice from the little bit I know about cooking with wine.I'm not much of a wine drinker and I'm afraid to ruin a recipe with a bad wine choice. Can I get recommendations of what brands of red and white wine to use preferably under $20. Maybe a Pinot Noir and Merlot for recipes that call for red wine and a pinot grigio for white wine?

I’m making a (Ninja Foodi) turkey breast, roasted potatoes & green beans tonight.
Tomatoes in the beef? InterestingView attachment 337487
I happened to making turkey tacos!
We go through about 5lbs of ground turkey a week.

Does It Matter Which Wine You Use When Cooking?
Use wine you would drink, mostly dry. Do not use fruity or bubbly.I'm not much of a wine drinker and I'm afraid to ruin a recipe with a bad wine choice.

Most cheap white and red in North America are not worthy of a good meal. I won't put that crap in my food. I actually do my white wine for cooking. No need for red since it's rarely used.This may come across as a snotty response and not meant to be a jab at you but I find it astounding that the person that wrote the article thinks there is Cabernet in Côtes du Rhone... There is 0 Cabarnet in Côtes du Rhone. Likewise, Sancerre is 90%+ Sauvignon Blanc in terms of the grape variety so calling it out twice is stupid.
Funny that these "experts" with their blogs get away with talking out of their asses and not having to pay the piper.
Anyhow, at least the blogger got it right on one thing, no need to blow 50 USD on a bottle to put into a dish. Cheap, dry white or red works fine.
Sorry for the aside, just annoying and the first pic tells it all. Wine does not flame on pouring. 12-14% alcohol content doesn't ignite...
LOL, I'm surprised I didn't catch that, as Cotes du Rhone is my favorite wine. I do think they were right that you don't want anything more than a medium tannin red wine, as a dryer wine will get pronoucedly bitter as you reduce it.This may come across as a snotty response and not meant to be a jab at you but I find it astounding that the person that wrote the article thinks there is Cabernet in Côtes du Rhone...

If you need any fresh lemons, we picked something like 17 bags of lemons from my mom's tree this past weekend, and don't think we even got half of them off.Tonight’s dinner brought to you by my love for Trader Joes.
Sautéed some shallots and chicken tenderloins in some olive oil with the TJ’s lemon pepper spice blend and fresh squeezed lemon. Made a package of TJ’s lemon ricotta ravioli. Added some of the lemon Alfredo sauce and thinned out the sauce with pasta water.
delish and fast meal.
Air fryers are the BOMB! We won't roast potatoes any other way now. cut 'em up, toss 'em in a ziplock with some olive oil, rosemary and garlic salt. Roast 'em up and wolf 'em down!Welp, in a living situation where I was not really equipped to cook.
Threw some money at the problem.
Was my Sunday today (essential services) so I gave it my all to work on not eating out anymore.
I've been a working chef and a kitchen manager in my past and sorry, I don't trust you restaurants.
So this was my caloricly excessive day.
Hooo boy there was a lot of grains in that bread.
Air friers apparently make GLORIOUS oven fries.
Made a meat and mushroom sauce, did the garlic toast in the air frier.
I like this cooking at home stuff.

I've made jerky, we've made homemade chicken tenders, roasted all sorts of veggies. Probably our most used appliance.
im very intrigued by the jerky in the air fryer, how did that go?
The simplest is usually the best...I'm definitely doing pasta tomorrow night.View attachment 339079 Simple dinner tonight.

I did it. It came out ok. I think you really need a strong marinade and a lot of time in it before dehydrating.
Mine came out a little bland, but it was my first time.
Making salsa chicken in the instant pot for lunch.... We shall see how it turns out
