What’s For Supper?

Since there are only two of us at home anymore I have really neglected cooking.  I like to make it simple, nutritious and delicious.  And when I make food I make enough for leftovers.  I really am not that crazy about cooking, but I really like eating.  🙂  chicken supper

So tonight we are having roasted chicken breast, roasted brussel sprouts and baked potatoes.  Leftover chicken will be used in salad for lunch and maybe a stirfry tomorrow night.  

I season the chicken breast liberally with paprika, garlic, salt, pepper and parsley and bake for 1.5 hours at 350.  I add the scrubbed potatoes after the chicken has been in a half hour.

When I pull the chicken out to rest I through the brussel sprouts in.  I use frozen for ease of cooking.

Roasted Brussel Sprouts

Drizzle olive oil over frozen brussel sprouts in baking pan and sprinkle with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

If your olive oil is hard like mine I just put a spoonful of it in the pan to melt and stir the brussel sprouts in.

I roast about 20 minutes at 450.  Stirring halfway through and at the last 2 to 3 minutes I added about 1/4 cup of chopped pecans.

I have adapted this recipe from the one linked below.  My husband didn’t care for it being sweet like the other recipe so I left out the honey and this time I don’t have any pomegranate seeds but I have craisins so I will put them in my half.  🙂

Please Don’t Spray

I live on top of a hill in a small town.  It was a gorgeous day with a nice breeze so all of my windows were flung open.

While working at my computer I started to feel numbness in my face and began wondering what I was exposed to or might have eaten to cause the sensation.  It wasn’t long until I realized there was a chemical smell permeating my home.  I quickly ran to each window to see what was going on outside.  And there I spotted it over a half a block away below my home a yard was being sprayed by a riding sprayer.  I quickly closed my windows grumbling as I did so.   This was 4:30 pm when my husband came home at 5:30 pm he could still smell the chemicals in our house and said it was even worse outside.  In a few hours the smell dissipated and I was able to open the windows to air out the house.
