Happy May! I wanted to pop in and share a few pictures from my month of April which seemed to fly by quickly. As I am trying to catch up with my blogging friends today I realized it had been a month since I last posted. My mercy! But, I am so busy doing this thing we call life here on earth and enjoying every moment that I can. With my immediate family of 14 there is never a dull moment y'all! We had three family birthdays in April. My SIL David, granddaughter Adalynn and oldest granddaughter Raygen. Our favorite grandson Conner (only grandson) carried his girl to the prom. We had to snap at least one picture with Mom and Nana! Two of my elementary school friends and I get together at least once every 4-5 weeks so we went to breakfast and then to Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens. We always have so much fun. The gardens are so beautiful that I couldn't even attempt to snap all the pictures I wanted. There are so many beautiful paintings to look at this but this was one of

I have a recipe to share with you today! I hope you enjoy it! I can tell you now that while it is cooking, you will drool over the smell!
Chicken and Potato Roast
Whole Chicken-get all the giblets out and wash good! Lift the skin up with a knife and dab butter under the skin the best you can. This helps to keep it moist.
Next, drag out the spices. I love spices!!!!!
Take EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and coat the chicken. Next sprinkle your spices. I used Lemon pepper, Natures Seasoning ( I use for everything) , Pampered Chef Crush Peppercorn and Garlic Rub (I love) and Lowery's Seasoning Salt (A must have in your kitchen).
Then chop your potatoes up. I usually use the small red potatoes but all I had was the yellow. I like cooking potatoes with the peelings on if possible so I wash the potatoes and cut off any bad spots and then I dice. I used one small diced onion and took one clove of fresh garlic (It smells so good while cooking) and diced it up.
Spread the cut up potatoes, onions and garlic all around in your pan with chicken, tossing some of the garlic and onion inside the cavity of the chicken.
Next: I topped it off with more EVOO and Paprika.
Got it ready for the oven which was preheated at 400 degrees.
Doesn't that already look good? And if you could only smell it while it is cooking!!!! Topped it off with alum. foil and baked it for about 1 hour 30minutes. (Every oven varries)If your pot. doesn't taste just quite done remember that they will cook a little more from the steam when you take them out of the oven as long as you keep the alum. foil on it.
Not only does it smell good but looks good. Grab a plate!
Hugs and blessings, Cindy
