Clearly, if you frequent my lil old blog, you know I love food. I love everything about good food, that is. I love the connection you make as you're preparing a meal; whether it's baking homemade apple pies with a mother in law, or creating some dish with your lover. Food brings people together and I just love that.
Think about it; how many fantastic conversations have you had with your friends or family, just because you're sitting around a table?
What makes me sad, is that food gets such a bad rap; and while I am not a "100% clean eater" I do try to eat as many nourishing foods as I can, and limit myself on the not so good ones. I get it, it can be a tricky downward spiral! I love sweets and truly enjoy baking them...but I just believe everything in moderation. As for leftovers? I freeze them or give them away!
So onto the recipes, okay, okay...
I have two. One is this unbelievably {easy} and tasty chicken recipe! My husband actually requested this for Sunday night after hunting [in 30 degree weather!!]
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees
2 packages of organic chicken thighs
1/2 cup of Dijon mustard
1/4 cup of maple syrup
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
--garnish at the end--A few sprigs of chopped fresh rosemary
Combine ingredients into a bowl and stir. Place chicken in a foil lined pan, as it tends get messy, and pour the mix over the chicken. Bake for 40 minutes (or until chicken is done)
Add the fresh chopped rosemary for a boost of flavor!
I believe I pinned this recipe awhile back and it's known as "Man Pleasing Chicken"
My husband also requested Stuffed Artichokes, which I have shared awhile back. You can find that here.
And some for me. This easy Fall recipe is soooo tasty. Well, especially to me since I'm on day 4 of my cleanse!!
Cubed butternut squash
4 sliced carrots
1 whole onion sliced
Dried cranberries
Foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle evoo on the veggies & a little coarse sea salt. OMG.
