Since the beginning of November there is a holiday atmosphere that little by little starts to build up. And even though we may have the classic holidays marked on our calendars, it’s the time of the year when one may eventually have to make the necessary arrangements to welcome a guest, or simply to coordinate dinners with family or friends. All this causes one to think about what delicacies to prepare in order to dazzle our guests or family members.

I believe on that point you don’t need to make something overly complicated, as many recipes are simpler than they look. And following that line of simplicity is that is that I thought about Tyson® All Natural Premium Cornish Hens, because no matter what option you choose, you will get a tasty and elegant lunch or dinner for any special occasion, and especially for the year-end holidays.

For this I turned to Sam’s Club, one of my supermarkets of choice. There I found in the meat and poultry section a Tyson® All Natural Premium Cornish Hens 6 pack, which is on a special sale at Sam’s Club until 11/20/2016, allowing you to save $3.75 on your purchase.

For this occasion I recommend the following Ravage Cabernet Sauvignon wine, a good pair for this recipe. You can also find it in the wine section of Sam’s Club.

Tyson® All Natural Premium Cornish Hens is a product that doesn’t contain artificial ingredients, nor hormones or steroids.

This delicious recipe is so versatile that you can prepare it along with a variety of vegetables, rice or any type of puree of your preference. As for the sauce, you can make it a day in advance if you wish, and I recommend cooking the mushrooms right before the meal.
