Roasted Chicken

One thing I can always count on my oldest to eat is chicken. NO matter how I make chicken he will eat it. This Roasted chicken with a homemade dry rub and filled with Herb butter. Man it just SCREAMS YUM!

This recipe here has so far been the best one I've made. It was moist with a crispy skin, and the herbed butter really added to the moisture of the chicken.

For this recipe you will need:

1 whole chicken weight will depend on how many you are cooking for

For the Rub:

1/4 of a cup of brown sugar ( I like to use dark brown here)

1/4 of a cup paprika

1/4 of a cup of kosher salt

2 tablespoons fresh ground black pepper

2 tablespoons of onion powder

1 table

1 tablespoon of garlic powder

1 tablespoon of dried rosemary

1 tablespoon of cayenne, optional (use if you want a little kick)

For the herbed butter:

1/2 cup of butter, softened

1/4 cup chopped parsley

2 tablespoons of fresh time

1 lemon with Zest

You will also need these items to put inside the cavity of the chicken:

1 lemon, halved

2 pearl onions

2 sprigs fresh rosemary

2 sprigs fresh thyme

Banana Cake!

Last night for dessert I thought to myself, " What could I make for dessert with these last three bananas?" Of coarse the first thing I do is search Pinterest for recipe ideas for these three bananas. I came across one that seemed like it would just be downright delicious, although I did modify and added some of my own things and it tasted like a wonderful banana donut accept in a cake ! I found the original recipe from Sugar Apron.

You will need these items here to satisfy that sweet tooth:

2 eggs

3 mashed Bananas

1 1/2 cups of sugar

1 cup of sour cream

1/2 a cup of softened butter

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

2 cups all purpose flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

3/4 teaspoon of salt

2 teaspoons of cinnamon

1 tablespoon of honey

1/2 cup of chopped nuts. ( tried it with both walnuts and pecans)

For the Glaze you will need:

1/2 cup of butter

3 cups of powdered sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

3 tablespoons of milk.

Good Morning!

Hello there! Well this is my first blog post. Thanks for visiting my page first and foremost. Here you will find recipes, mom advice, life hacks, and just about anything else you can think of that involves food and children. I am a home baker. I have love and passion for food. Baking and cooking are what I love most. I have worked in the food industry, well, pretty much my whole life. I guess you could say that is where my interest in food started. I would really have to say it started to become a passion when we moved into our new home and I started just trying random recipes.
