This month’s Peoria Magazine exclusive recipe is a simple, one-pot (well, one-skillet) dish that will have everyone reaching for seconds: It’s my Apple Cider Chicken with Apples and Butternut Squash recipe. This is truly the best autumn dinner—perfectly browned chicken, juicy apple cider sauce, and rich, tender cubed butternut squash... I love picking up the ingredients at the Peoria Farmers Market and then nestling in for dinner at the farm. I hope your family and friends love this dish as much as mine do!

Look for me from now on in Peoria Magazine!


I’ve said it before, but it’s worth saying again: I love how much Peoria cares about the community. And I love feeding my people, so I’m delighted to announce that you can get a new, exclusive Mary DiSomma recipe in every forthcoming issue. Well, I might just have to make some cookies to celebrate!
