After a rather comfort-food-filled couple of days (umm pulled pork… ummm fried chicken… um beer!), it was time to get some veggies in mah belly.

Roast Chicken with Potatoes and Butternut Squash Finding this recipe for roast chicken with potatoes and butternut squash from Cooking Light was the inspiration for this super-easy weeknight dinner. To save a little cooking time, and to reduce the quantity, I instead used two chicken breasts instead of roasting a whole chicken, for two. Seasonings … Continue reading
