Spatchcock Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken with leeks

Spatchcock Lemon Garlic Roasted Chicken with leeks and mashed sweet potatoes for dinner.

The word "spatchcock" may be new to some, but it is a great method to help expedite cook time and creates an even cooking surface. Spatchcocking is the method of removing the spine from back of the chicken, then cracking the breast plate to allow the bird to lay flat. Great technique for grilling too!

It's cold!! Like bone chilling cold. And the only remedy is a good soup. Amazing soup start with a great broth. Today is the start of our parmesan broth process. Testing it out in our crock pot on low instead of a pot.

I purchased parmesan rinds from our cheese counter at the grocery story and are building the flavors with garlic, onions, thyme, peppercorns and some white wine. They will all develop in flavor over the next three hours.

There are so many moments as a parent I feel fatigued, frustrated, naggy, and stressed. But this week was rewarding. I got to see how much they have grown and enjoy the little people they are becoming. Miles made a whole dinner by himself, and Piper helped with sides, and they loaded the dishwasher. I am afraid they are going to follow up at the end of the week for a raise in allowance 🤣

When life gives you lemons, preserve them! With citrus in season, I am taking full advantage ans stocking up on my favorite secret ingredient: preserved lemons.

It's so simple. Just loads of salt, cut the lemon open, salt the inside, pack them in a jar, layering with more salt. And the let them sit. In about 6 weeks, the lemons will have softened and the sour acidic flavor has transformed bringing the bright lemon flavor forward to make whatever it's in pop. I like to add in some Aleppo peppers, bay leaf, cinnamon stick and some peppercorns.

Part of our new year's goals was more family dinners and meal planning. This was a goal the kids wanted to be involved with.

Tonight Miles made us beef stew. It was delicious! Our goal involving the kids has presented some other avenues to working on spelling, math and has made grocery shopping so much easier. It has been a joy!

Tip for growing gigantic carrots. Plant the seeds

Tip for growing gigantic carrots. Plant the seeds, tend to it attentively for a few months with water and fertilizer, and then forget about them. My daughter walked in on Christmas with this huge white carrot. It took both the kids to pull it out.
I am a much better gardener when I just leave it alone (agrees my succulent house plants)
