Here is a delicious roast chicken recipe! This is a great dish to make on a weekday night since you will have left over chicken for other recipes during the week. I started making this chicken recipe with my roaster, and I love it! It’s so easy to make and it’s a great use of that roaster you have sitting in a cupboard collecting dust. The mix of spices gives it a savory flavor while leaving the chicken meat moist. So let’s get that roaster out and start cooking.
Mix your spices in a bowl: onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, ground sage, black pepper, and salt.
Rinse off your whole chicken, rub olive oil on it, and then rub all of the spices on the chicken.
Place the chicken in the roaster with the breast side up. Then add enough water to just cover the bottom of the roaster. Now roast your chicken at 350 degrees for 2 hours or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Now it is time to enjoy your chicken.

Here is an easy meal that the whole family will love. This dish has a great flavor and it’s a healthy recipe. So why would the whole family like it you ask? It’s because for this meal I use a little trick of mine that works on my family; I blend the tomatoes to get rid of the tomato chunks. My husband and my daughter both hate tomato chucks so I blend the tomatoes up to avoid hearing my family say: “Yucky!” “Why are these chunks in here?” and “I’m not hungry.” Now all I hear is, “This is awesome!” I use this same trick for my Old Fashioned Chili and it works like a charm. Wait a minute! This meal gets better! This dish is called One-Pan Spiral Goulash for a reason; it only gets one pan dirty!
So lets get started on this easy recipe. In a large pan or in a pot brown your onion and 1 pound of ground beef until the meat is no longer pink.Blend your 2 cans of stewed tomatoes in the blender.
Stir in the blended stewed tomatoes, pasta, sugar, chili powder, salt, and garlic powder.
Bring to a boil then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the pasta is tender. Now you can serve with cheddar cheese on top of it if you wish. And there you have it… an easy meal for a weeknight when you don’t have a lot of time to cook.

Looking for something to go with the Glazed Blueberry Muffins from Thursday’s post for your Mother’s Day Brunch? Well look no further. Now you can treat mom to Glazed Blueberry Muffins and Baked French Toast. This is an easy recipe that you can put in the oven while you are making mom bacon and eggs to go with it. This toast has a nice texture since it is made with french bread, and the toast has a delicious flavor that will make you want more after each bite.
First melt your 1/4 cup margarine and pour it into your 9″ x 13″ pan.
Whisk eggs, sugar, cinnamon, milk, and vanilla in a bowl.
Put the french bread slices in the mixture. Let the bread absorb the mixture for about 30 seconds. After the 30 seconds, flip the bread to absorb the mixture on the other side.
Fit the slices in the pan on top of the melted butter.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 15 minutes on one side then flip each piece and bake for an additional 10 minutes on the second side. You want each side to look golden brown. Then sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with your favorite berries and syrup.

Looking to wow mom on Mother’s Day? One way to do that is with this muffin you can serve to her for breakfast or brunch on Mother’s Day! It’s packed with fresh blueberries and it has a sweet glaze that’s going to put a smile on your mom’s face. And attached at the end of this post is a free printable Mother’s Day gift tag. You can attach the tag to a special gift or a basket of muffins.
To make these muffins, you need to mix the dry ingredients first: mix the 1 3/4 cups of flour, the 1/3 cup sugar, the 2 teaspoons of baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Once you are done mixing the dry ingredients, make a hole in the middle for the egg, milk, and oil.
In a bowl combine your beaten egg, 3/4 cup milk, and 1/4 cup oil. Now pour these ingredients into the center of the dry ingredients.
Now mix just until all ingredients are moistened. You don’t want to over mix your muffins. The batter should be lumpy. If you over mix the batter your muffins will be dense and tough.
Mix in your 6 oz. package of washed fresh blueberries (you could use frozen blueberries).
Lightly grease your muffin pan or line with paper cups. Fill each muffin cup 2/3 full. It will make 10-12 muffins. My batch made 10 muffins.
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 20 minutes or until they are golden brown. Now glaze the muffins with a frosting to add that special touch for Mother’s Day.
You can make the same frosting I used on my Cherry Bars, Powdered Sugar Frosting. Combine the margarine, milk, and vanilla in a pan on the stove and heat it until the margarine is melted. Then in a bowl place 2 cups of powdered sugar and add the warm liquid ingredients that you just heated on the stove to the powdered sugar one teaspoon at a time. This recipe makes a lot of frosting so you may have some left over.
