Oven-roasted chicken

Oven-roasted chicken is one of my favorite meals to prepare.. it is also my nemesis! The breast meat is often done before the thighs are fully cooked! Leading to longer cooking time, which results in dry breast meat. (Ir)Regardless, I attempt this meal every few weeks. Thank heavens for Jamie Oliver and Christopher Kimball. Jamie Oliver provided the inspiration for this herb stuffed (under the skin) bird with citrus stuff deliciousness! Christopher Kimball provided the guidance on how to cook it without drying out the breast while achieving success in with a perfectly cooked, moist thighs! Yummmmm!

This chicken was stuffed with garden fresh tarragon and parsley creating a new found appreciation for tarragon! It was awesome.

Holiday Lemon Squares (Lemon Love Notes)

I remember these as a Christmas treat my grandmother would make, and every year when my wife asks what kind of cookies I want, I say Lemon Squares. She usually says... you're supposed to make those in February and they are called 'Lemon Love Notes'. Its a good thing I'm flexible and happy to eat them in February too. The recipe for these can be found in The Smitten Kitchen Cookbook by Deb Perelman . Her recipes are reliable and she takes better pictures. Check out her book for the details.
