I'm in the daytime kitchen with Stuart
wrinkle from the Ronald McDonald House
Charities of Southwest Virginia and we
are cooking up something that smells
delicious what are you making it's
called Santa Fe chicken stew it's one of
my favorite go-to recipes it's healthy
you can make it ahead of time I usually
double or triple it it travels well be
great for tailgate and you freeze it -
absolutely I've frozen it many times
before so it's a great one that really
is so walk me through the ingredients
thank you thank you it's it's the
hardest part really is baking chicken
and shredding it and opening cans okay
you saute a bunch of green onions which
I've gotten a head start on in olive oil
2 teaspoons of olive oil it is a can of
stewed tomatoes a can of chicken broth a
small can of green chilies kidney beans
a lot of times if I'm doubling or
tripling I'll use some light some dark
and that's actually a larger can and I
should have gotten some about half a can
of corn so it's got lots of fiber
it's got lean protein and basically once
you start yeah you just start pouring
which I just spilled everywhere but
that's all right that makes it more
realistic exactly yeah if it's not a
mess then it's probably not me and I did
drain and rinse the beans ahead of time
so I did get a head start on that okay
but is this just a one pot oh yeah - oh
yeah this is probably gonna be pretty
full because I'm usually he's a little
bit larger pot yeah but you can also the
nice thing about this is you can
substitute different things so a lot of
times I will use some stewed tomatoes
and some diced tomatoes but you have to
break up the the stewed tomatoes a
little bit okay the other thing is I'm
gonna put the chicken in here yeah while
you're doing this will you also talk
about the golf tournament that's coming
up yes golly day the weather has worked
against us a little bit we scheduled the
day that Michael arrived I had to
postpone it a week and unfortunately the
pita river course had some damage to the
course near the new river so we have
postponed it again to the Thursday the
8th of November okay so we've got one
flight in the afternoon starting lunch
starts at 11 o'clock
we're hoping to fill the flight we will
also start selling our Christmas cards
in the next week or so which we do every
year is a fundraiser they do so much for
families in the area what people don't
realize is yeah we I mean so many people
don't realize that this is a worldwide
charity there are 366 raw McDonald
houses all over the world there are 182
in in this country so many people go
pass it every day not realizing that we
have eighteen bedrooms many of you have
to live 25 miles away to stay in the
house but we also have the family room
which is right outside the NICU cruelly
nor no memorial so it's sort of a place
to get away to regroup and you're still
closer to people you know it looks like
18 families who are going through
something something and one of the
beauty of that and we have wonderful
thank-you notes and that are so moving
and so often they'll say it is so
wonderful being around people who
understand what I'm going through
they're going through the same thing so
new friendships form it just um I think
one of the most touching notes was a
young woman and yeah her husband was
home working and she said it was so
wonderful coming in and they remembered
my name and that just made me weep
thinking you know that is to be that
alone something like that so somebody
wants to help you all out what is the
website where people can go the website
is our MHC - SWV a org where you can
just google coming yeah lots of
volunteer opportunities
we're always raising funds and let me
say one last thing it does call for
cilantro which you put in the dairy and
cilantro is one of those funny things
you either love it or hate it
and so what I normally do is I will have
cilantro and parsley that when people
are serving it themselves they can okay
whatever we will have this recipe on our
website go to daytime blue ridge calm
and seriously go by their website they
do so much wonderfully thank you this
thank you so much
