My Perfect Roast Chicken (At Last) 🍗

Published 2 days ago • 1 min read

Hey friends❣️

This is the better-than-rotisserie chicken that just makes life a little bit easier, and a whole lot juicer. Roast one (or better yet two) and eat well for a week. Save the carcass to make soup and you'll basically win meal prep, win life.

Perfect Roast Chicken (with lemon and herbs)

I try to balance full-on cooking with shortcuts so I don't wear myself out getting dinner on the table. In this case I'm not above instant mash and frozen peas. Or have you tried those Minute rice instant cups? I'm obsessed with them, the hot honey chicken and the jalapeño 'flavors' are faves.

For company I'd do Roasted Potatoes with Rosemary or my new Grated Potato Casserole (it's a winner if you haven't tried it yet.) And Hasselback Potatoes with Lemon Garlic Butter would be a fun option.

For something green you could make Green Beans Almondine or get cozy with a Cheesy Zucchini Casserole

I love to make delicious food, photograph it, and write about it, but mostly, I just love to EAT. Isn’t that what it’s all about? My recipes are bold and vibrant, but totally approachable ~ and my philosophy? We should all have the tools to feed ourselves well, and the confidence to cut loose a little in the kitchen. Food should be fun!

The British School Cake Everyone’s Talking About 🍰

Hey friends❣️ Do any of you watch the Great British Baking Show? This fun cake was the 'technical challenge' this week ~ it's a nostalgic little dessert that used to be served in UK schools. I tried it and…wow. New favorite. British School Cake! The combination of the vanilla sponge with a thin layer of sweet icing and the silky custard is amazing. If you've made my Irish Apple Cake you've got the idea. (The custard is similar to my Creme Anglaise except it uses whole milk, not cream.) Do any...
