Wrap Up:  In today's Wrap Up, I wanted to discuss the way I saute my food here at the house.  Many people see the word saute and immediately jump to the idea of using clarified butter or a heavy oil.  Traditional sauteeing typically calls for the use of one of these fats, however, to keep things a little healthier in our house, my wife and I use a small amount of Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and then deglaze our pans with Fat Free and Reduced Sodium Chicken or Vegetable Stock.  Getting the nice char on the food from the hot EVOO, (thanks for the shorthand Rachel Ray), and finishing with the richness of the stock, really helps develop the flavor of out meats and veggies.
