I'm thinking this weekend to cook a beef casserole with some red wine in the sauce. Is this a no no? The alcohol will have cooked out but is there anything else that would make this a really bad idea?
I don't think its any problem, I am sure there are some calories in there with the flavour but nothing to bad.
We all need to be able to live a little and make nice meals so I say go for it like Butterfly Lady says.
Alcohol is pretty ok in my experience. Just be aware that we can cross-addict from food to drinking as an emotional crutch which is the only precaution really, but adding some red wine to a stew is hardly excessive so go for it and enjoy the flavours. x
Thanks all, the stew was a success and I now have enough left over to feed me til Christmas!!
I was never a drinker anyway (don't like the taste of alcohol) so to be honest I've not missed it at all. It's actually been a relief to say I've finally binned all pretence of trying to drink and people don't try and pressure me into it anymore lol!
I've already requested orange juice for the toast at my best friend's wedding coming up
