Roasted Potato's & Onions

This is so simple but sooo good!!!

Add as many potato’s as you need ( I used small potato’s and just halved them) Make sure to wash and try them well!! After that you want to wedge an onion! Combine potato’s and onion in a bowl drizzle with olive oil just enough to coat! Season with salt, pepper, and any other seasoning you would like! Lay on a sheet tray lined with aluminum foil. Bake at 400 for 15 to 20 mins or until fork tender and browned!

Sometimes if I am in a rush I will used whole canned potato's as well!  For canned potato's just cut them in half, season, add onions, and olive oil and do that same as the others!! May not take as long!

Roasted Chicken w/ Stuffing

The one thing I LOVE is a whole roasted Chicken! With this one I stuffed it! Some time's I toss some potato's and onions in some seasonings like salt, pepper, garlic powder, and place them around the bottom of the chicken while its baking that is awesome as well!!

Ingredients:

1. Wash, Clean and Dry Chicken with a Paper Towel. Season with seasonings inside and out just to cover the chickens surface *DO NOT FORGET TO SEASON THE INSIDE OF YOUR CHICKEN IF YOU DO IT WILL NOT HAVE MUCH FLAVOR*

3. Bake at 375 for 20 mins per pound! I baked my in a Roasting pan without the top on! Internal temp should me 180... I cooked my chicken 90 mins and it was perfect… The rule of thump is 20 mins per pound!!
