I mentioned I had book club the other night. At the end of book club there was leftover wine. I know, there are some of you that are thinking, “Leftover wine? What is leftover wine?” Ikr? However, there are definitely occasions when a bottle of wine gets opened and doesn’t get finished. When that happens, I make ice cubes. Then, when I need red wine for a recipe, I just defrost to use in my recipes! Tastes so much better than the grocery store stuff.
These Beans Bolognese are whole food made easy. Make them on a cold winter night for a true comfort food.
