Roasted Potato's & Onions



This is so simple but sooo good!!!

As Many Potato’s as you need ( I used small potato’s and just halved them) Make sure to wash and try them well!! After that you want to wedge an onion! Combine potato’s and onion in a bowl drizzle with olive oil just enough to coat! Season with salt, pepper, and any other seasoning you would like! Lay on a sheet tray lined with aluminum foil. Bake at 400 for 15 to 20 mins or until fork tender and browned!

Grilling Ideas!

Here is just a few things we have grilled so far!! There will definitely be more to come!!!

Corn on the Grill
Just put some corn in some aluminum foil little butter on top and season with salt and pepper! Put on the grill not over the coals off to the side! Cook for 10 to 15 mins!

Grilled Pork Chops

Season Center cut pork chops! We used Grill Mates Sweet & Smokey! Drizzle with a little Olive oil! Grill for 2 to 5 mins on each side according to the thickness ours were quarter of an inch! We seared on the hottest part of the grill for 2 mins on each side then basted with Sweet Baby Ray’s BBQ Sauce for 2 more mins on each side! Turned out amazing and wanted to share with you!




* We had a Charcoal Grill and let the temp reach almost 400!*

Roasted Chicken Stuffed w/ Caramelized Onion Stuffing


The one thing I LOVE is a whole roasted Chicken! With this one I stuffed it! Some time's I toss some potato's and onions in some olive oil and seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and place them around the bottom of the chicken while its baking that is awesome as well!!

Ingredients:

1 Whole Chicken (Mine was about 5 pounds)
“Seasoning for chicken” *You can use what you like this is what I used*
Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning
Paprika
McCormick Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning
Olive Oil

Stuffing:

1 Box of Low Sodium Chicken Flavored Stuffing Mix (Such as Stove Top)
1 Large Onion
1 Tablespoon Butter

Directions:
Pre-Heat Oven to 375

1. Wash, Clean and Dry Chicken with a Paper Towel. Season with seasonings inside and out just to cover the chickens surface *DO NOT FORGER TO SEASON THE INSIDE OF YOUR CHICKEN IF YOU DO IT WILL NOT HAVE MUCH FLAVOR*
2. Prepare Stuffing according to Package Directions *Instead of the water it calls for I use homemade Chicken stock that I make with the giblets*
3. Saute onions on a medium heat in the butter until they are extremely soft and browned nicely! Fold onions into stuffing and Stuff inside turkey.
4. Drizzle Chicken with a little olive oil. Bake at 375 for 20 mins per pound! I baked my in a Roasting pan with the top on! Internal temp should me 180... I cooked my chicken 90 mins and it was perfect… If you want it extra crispy on top Remove top turn broiler on 500 and let it crisp up wont take long so keep an eye on it!

Some Product Review's

This post is going to be all about some products I have tried recently and just wanted to review them for everyone!

I have never before ate any kind of turkey product besides one time. Which that was a meatloaf and it was AWFUL! So I was scared to try anything else lol. As you all know I am working on losing of my weight. So at the grocery store I picked up the Precooked Link and Patty Sausage and I also picked up the turkey crumbles and Sausage and Pancake on a stick.

All of these products are awesome. Of course there is a slight change in flavor but it prepared right it is really hard to even tell a difference! So glade I tried these. So if you are skeptical as I was please try these I promise you want be sorry here are some pictures… If you click on the pictures it will carry you to a site that will share the nutrition value of these and how they think you should prepare them!!


This is the Link Sausage. I put them in the freezer they are separated in two packages each has 6 links the serving size is 3 links! I take them out the freezer put them in a pan with a little water. Cook them on high until they are thawed. Drain excess water and drizzle with a little olive oil to let brown up the outside.


I do the same thing with The patties as I do with the Link


I let these thaw in the fridge if they have been frozen or you can thaw in the microwave if you need them asap. I also add a little olive oil to brown these off a bit! You can add these to Breakfast Casseroles, Pizza, Pasta dishes, Make healthy biscuits and gravy, omelets and many more… I made Biscuits and gravy with this last night. After I browned off the sausage I put it in a bowl and set it aside. Added 3 tablespoons of LITE Country Crock Butter. Made a roue with 3 tablespoons flour. Then slowly added 2 cups of skims will. Season with salt and pepper. Whisked out all the lumps added the sausage bake in and let it cook on LOW for 15 mins so the flavors could release from the sausage! I carried my Aunt Some and she text me and says That was so good and it hit the spot thank you! She did not even know that it was turkey WIN!!!


Need a fast on the go type breakfast one of these and a side of some fruit is awesome! I wrap it in a paper towel microwave it for 45 seconds. Then in a pan on high heat I crunch up the outside! DELICIOUS!


This is the butter I always use! I used to use I can’t believe its not butter but found this has 50 calories rather then the 70 that ICBINB has!



I know you have noticed I have used the Goya Adobo All Purpose Seasoning for alot of things! I LOVE IT! Its great on chicken, pork, I even season some of my veggies like green beans, butter beans and stuff like that! It has a great flavor and you can find it in the Ethnic part of your grocery store!

The Rotisserie Chicken Seasoning is great on chicken of course but it is great to season homemade fries with it as well!!


I hope you enjoyed this! I enjoyed sharing with yaw! Any ? or Comments please leave me a comment! Thank you!
