Chicken is easy to cook, incredibly versatile, and a wonderful choice for health-conscious home chefs. It’s no surprise, then, that it’s also the most popular food item in the United States by a wide margin. In fact, on the American Diabetes Association website, the number one searched word by online visitors is, you guessed it, chicken.

With more than five dozen recipes based on flavors and traditions from around the world, this handy little volume is stuffed with quick, easy, flavorful recipes everyone will love. Get a copy today!

Later in the show I’ll be talking to David Bahre about Wheat State Distilling and the unique products he is crafting right here in Wichita. David calls it field to bottle distilling, tracing the ingredients used from the FARM to the MILL to the STILL to the BOTTLE. Talk about the perfect gift for many Dad’s this Sunday. Not only a bottle of great Kansas made spirits but they have distilled products and gallon barrels that you can age your own at home. My rum came out spectacular!

Good Life Guy’s Wine of the Week:
2013 B.R. Cohn Silver Label Cabernet Sauvignon
88% Cabernet, 12% Merlot aged in French oak. This wine is a blend of select hillside vineyards in Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake Counties and Olive Hill Estate Vineyard. Years of working with these vineyards provides the advantage of selecting only the best low-yield vineyard blocks to produce this rich concentrated Cabernet. Complex and full, rich aromas of plum, cassis and black cherry are accompanied by a bouquet of the finest French oak, cedar, cola, anise, vanilla, and nutmeg. On the palate, our Silver Label is a big rich Cabernet with luscious flavors of dried berry and cherry, ample tannin, and a long finish. ABV14.3%
