About the Chef

Oregon, United States
My name is Alexia. I have lived in NE Oregon for most of my life, and love it here because it's where my family is. I have 3 younger sisters, 3 younger brothers, and a million cousins. I live with my husband and our three boys, and our dog Norman. My family is Greek/ Cajun/ Mexican, so food is very important to us;-) I love cooking and creating new recipes, my kids, my family, wine, painting, and everything retro! I am a dialysis technician. I love my job and my patients. I am currently studying to be a nurse. I love school, and so far it has been good to me... Dean's List or Honor Roll each term! Between work, school, my husband, our kids and all of their activities and adventures, I don't have a ton of time to blog. I love sharing recipes, so I make time for it when I can. You can follow me on Pinterest for more ideas and inspiration (thanks to those of you that have pinned my recipes!): pinterest.com/lexisamom .

Peach and Balsamic Cranberry Sauce


A sweeter version or my previous posts, this one is my Grandma's favorite.  

1 peach, peeled and diced
4 cups of fresh cranberries
1 cup Chardonnay or peach juice
1 1/2- 2 cups light brown sugar (depending on how sweet you want)
2 tbs balsamic vinegar
1 tsp ground cinnamon 
1 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract

Heat the cranberries and peaches in the Chardonnay until the popping stops.  Add the remaining ingredients.  Simmer for twenty minutes.  Take off the heat and serve warm or cold with your holiday dinner. 

Will, of course, pair well with Chardonnay
