In my neck of the woods the weather folks keep telling us the “January Thaw” is here…meaning the temps are in the 30-40 degree range. Well, that is still C-O-L-D if you ask me!

When the weather is- let's say- brisk, I love cooking meals that fill the house with smells of warmth and down right goodness. What are my favorites? I love the long and slow…like a great pot roast, beef brisket or a roasted chicken. The latter probably being my favorite.

Roasting a chicken is down right easy…ANYONE can make this delicious meal! Honest! I'm going to share my favorite recipe and I would love for you to try it as well. Come back and let me know how it turned out!
