A Man?s Meal

Nick definitely enjoyed dinner tonight.

As soon as he saw it, I think his exact words were, ?Roasted potatoes and roast chicken? This is my kind of meal!?

This cabbage salad is a spin-off of a recipe in Food Matters.

It?s just a mixture of green and red cabbage, yellow and red pepper, red onion, celery, olive oil/lemon juice/dijon mustard/honey, salt, pepper, parsley, and some sunflower seeds for extra crunch.

I let the salad sit and soften up while the free range chicken and potatoes roasted away in the oven.

I love hands-on recipes in the kitchen, but some nights, I just want something I can throw in the oven and forget about for an hour. And today was one of those days.

Maggie is apparently going through her terrible-twos. She?s been driving us crazy the past couple of days and being extremely stubborn. After disciplining her all day, working for 8 hours, and just dealing with a crummy rainy day, a meal that basically cooks itself was definitely what I needed tonight.

And it was delicious.

And tiny, whole roasted potatoes? One of my favorite things. I should make them more often.

Exciting news coming tomorrow ? and I?ll need YOUR help, so get ready!

I?ve got 3 minutes until HIMYM is on!!!
