Roasted Greek Cauliflower
Roasted Greek Cauliflower I have a confession to make, I don’t like cooked cauliflower, there I said it. I’d go on about how my mother would boil it until it was smushy and how it gave off the funkiest odour when she cooked it but it would upset her, so I’ll skip that part. What I will say is roasted cauliflower coated in the marinade from my ...

Roasted Vegetables
Roasted Vegetables Every week my family and I go to my parent’s house where my mother and I make dinner for everyone. For some reason I always end up using the oven which drives my dad nuts.

Roasted Winter Vegetables
I have a confession to make; I don’t like root vegetables. There I said it. You’ll never catch me eating a cooked carrot unless it’s in my Beef Stew and even then, it’ll be a small piece. I can handle a sweet potato in small doses if its prepared like my Roasted Sweet Potato recipe. I tried the parsnip here, to me it tasted like a lemony potato, ...
Panko Crusted Oven Fried Chicken
Panko Crusted Oven Fried Chicken Now, I must start this by stating that this recipe calls for a whole chicken broken down, meaning cut into pieces. This is not easy! I watched a video on youtube and I still made a mess! My best advice; get a sharp knife and a stable cutting board and take your time! You may not be a butcher but you’ve eaten ...

Roasted Teriyaki Brussels Sprouts

Roasted Chicken
Roasted Chicken This recipe is interchangeable with turkey; this is actually the recipe that I make for the Thanksgiving Turkey! The key to roasting any meat, especially poultry is after removing it from the oven you have to wrap it tightly in tinfoil and let it rest for 20 minutes; no more no less. Serves (depending on the size of the ...
