Mustard, Lemon and Fresh Herb Chicken I was at my parent’s house last week and when I asked my mother what she wanted us to make for dinner, she replied (again) that she had a whole chicken (again)… did I mention, again? I’ve been challenged with coming up with new ways to use a whole chicken lately! This recipe was a huge success and by ...

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 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 ...
