"Whats on my plate?" vol. 1

It's Dinner Time and I had a craving for some yummy roasted potatoes, baked lemon peppered chicken, with peas and carrots. Sounds great huh? 

Here's how I made it:

   For the potatoes: I took about a pound of Idaho potatoes and washed them off. Then cut them in quartered pieces. I set the oven at 400 degrees and began to coat the potatoes in a round pan with 1/4 cup of olive oil and seasoned it with salt, pepper, powdered garlic, and oregano. I mixed the potatoes so that the seasoning was evenly distributed. I stuck them in the oven and waited about 40 minutes to an hour or until browned.

    For the lemon peppered chicken: I took the chicken drumsticks and wings and coated it lightly in gluten free, dairy free butter. Then sprinkled with lemon pepper seasoning and a sprinkle of salt and then stuck that in the oven for 40 min. or until cooked evenly, remembering to turn it over halfway through. 

The peas and carrots were steamed in the bag. Got to love quick and easy dishes for us working moms and wives!

Here's how it came out:




Like what you see, try it out for yourself and feel free to add or take away from it. Cooking is an art. Just as they say to painters, "Attack the canvas," I tell you, Attack the kitchen! 
Something I like to start as a trend for my "Whats on my plate" articles is passing the plate. When I say "Pass the Plate," comment back and let me know what you cooked tonight for your family. Starting..... NOW.....
