Roast a chicken!
Somehow I managed to pick the hottest day that we have had to crank the oven up to 425 and roast away.
It all started with 2 fresh farmed chickens, olive oil and a little salt and pepper. This really could not be any simpler. Rinse your chickens, pat your chickens dry, cover with oil, seasonings and pop in the oven. Wait 90 ish minutes and enjoy!
* best served with roasted baby potatoes, fresh garden salad and any kind of fruity rum cocktail.
This is amazing. I have read about banana soft serve before and have always wanted to try it. I recently had a surplus of bananas and froze about 15 of them. The next step is to make this delicious “ice cream”.
Banana Soft Serve
2 frozen bananas, chopped into pieces
Anything else you want to add, I used 2 tbsp of mini carob chips
Add banana to food processor and blend until smooth.
I honestly can’t believe how delicious this is. It’s creamy and sweet. The added carob chips makes it feel sinful. I thought it wasn’t going to work but you honestly just have to keep scraping down the sides and blending.
You need to try this.
Some days you just need a treat. It’s been a long week, your co-workers drive you crazy and family members make you want to scream. Sometimes life is smoothing along great and you just feel like something sweet. Luckily I have great co-workers and a family that is semi sane. After a week of eating fresh wholesome foods you want to get a little bit dirty. I love kneading, mixing and pounding out ingredients. These cookies are quite the challenge.
They have a big soft interior with a sinfully delicious chocolate aroma. I will surely marry my man because I made these cookies. These cookies are practically begging to be paired up with vanilla soft serve and a huge glass of cold milk. For chocolate lovers only!
aka; “snag a husband” cookie
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) cold, unsalted butter, cubed
1¼ cup sugar
2 large eggs
½ cup dark cocoa powder
2¼ cups all-purpose flour
¼ tsp. coarse salt
1 tsp. baking powder
2½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the butter and sugar. Beat together on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Blend in the eggs one at a time, scraping down the bowl as needed. Mix in the cocoa powder until well blended. Add the flour, salt and baking powder to the bowl and mix on low speed just until incorporated. Fold in the chocolate chips with a spatula. Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead briefly by hand to be sure the ingredients are well combined.
Divide the dough into 4 ounce portions (or divide into 12 equal pieces). Roll each portion of dough into a ball and flatten just slightly into a disc. Place on the prepared baking sheets, a few inches apart. Bake 16-20 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheets 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
HOT DAMN.
