Chipotle Carrot Soup with Red Apple Balsamic

Sweet Apple Balsamic, Spicy Chipotle Olive Oil and crisp bacon make this soup a real treat!

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1/4 cup Red Apple Balsamic Vinegar
  • 1/4 medium onion chopped
  • 1 1/2 lbs carrots, peeled and sliced into 1/4 in rounds

  • Sea salt
  • Fresh, thinly sliced scallions
  • 2 Tbsp créme fraîche
  • A few thin slices of red chili

  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400° F. Lay bacon on a sheet tray and baking rack. Using a pastry brush, brush Red Apple Balsamic Vinegar on both sides. Bake for 20 minutes, basting with more balsamic every 5 minutes. Remove from oven.

Another business affected by this horrible virus

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Sherry’s Corner Cafe, we are so sad to hear this.  We always loved going there.  Please try to support our local businesses.

Dear Family, Friends (old and new), and customers….
It’s with a heavy heart that I find myself writing this post. As everyone knows 2020 was one of the hardest years for so many of us in all ways, especially those who have a small business. We hoped here at Sherry’s that 2021 would be off to a better start, but that clearly is not the case. With little help from the government at both State and Federal levels and Covid-19 regulations becoming stricter (and sometimes illogical), we have decided to close our doors for good. A year ago today we never would have thought this would have been the case but the pandemic has taken an extreme toll on us.
I am grateful for all the customers who have supported us along the way, with many becoming more like friends and family. I am grateful for my staff who have worked so hard and adapted to the crazy changes we now find our new-world norms. And most importantly, I am grateful for each and every one of you who have walked through our doors and welcomed us to the Magnolia community. Starting tomorrow, January 19th, 2021, we will be closing our doors effective immediately.
Thank you again for the past three years. You have all humbled me with your kind words and friendships over the past 3 years that I am forever grateful.
-Sherry & Chris ❤️

Yummy recipe from Cape Ann Olive Store

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Maple Balsamic & Herb Chicken

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup Maple Balsamic Vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ tsp. fresh thyme
  • ⅛ tsp. cayenne
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Directions:

  1. In small bowl, whisk together balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, garlic, thyme, cayenne and salt and pepper. Pour sauce into a large plastic baggy and add chicken breasts. (I like to pound out the chicken breasts to ensure they each have the same thickness so they cook evenly) Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes or even overnight.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until oil shimmers, about 3 to 4 minutes. Using tongs, remove chicken breasts from baggy (leaving the marinade inside) and arrange in the pan. Allow chicken to cook for about 7 to 8 minutes, without moving, so a nice golden-brown crust forms. Flip chicken over and cook the other side for another 7 to 8 minutes. You’ll know the chicken is done when the juices run clear and the inside temp has reached 160 to 165 degrees.
  3. Remove chicken and place on a cutting board to rest then pour the remaining marinade into the heated skillet. Scrape up any brown bits and allow marinade to bubble up and cook, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add chicken back into the skillet, coating well. Serve and enjoy!

Great restaurant called Bravo by the Sea

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

Went into Bravo by the Sea in Manchester by the Sea. As soon as I walked inside the smell was incredible. Beth was very generous and gave me a pizza to bring home. Cannot wait to eat the pizza for dinner.
