One Year Later…And Christmas!

December 29, 2018Leave a comment

A year after starting this blog I've learned that the point is still that you try anyways. You do your best, and it's probably going to work out ok.

Classic Homemade Deviled Eggs – Paleo

Thanksgiving Chicken... a.k.a. the cheaper turkey. Thanksgiving Chicken... a.k.a. the cheaper turkey..
.
.

If you're looking for an #affordable alternative to a 20 lb turkey, you can make this delicious roast chicken for #Thanksgiving instead! This chicken cost about $12 for 4-6 servings. .
.
Some great things about this recipe are that it still has all those rich flavors that we associate with a Thanksgiving turkey, AND you don't even need to make a gravy! You can spoon the rich pan juices from this chicken over mashed potatoes and cornbread dressing to your heart's content. It will be just as delicious as any gravy, (with less work) promise. .
.
You can also make a great bone broth afterwards with the bones. Toss in a little leftover chicken into the broth along a few vegetables and you have a beautiful soup to warm you up on a cold day. .
