Sunday dinner: EASY Roast Chicken and Vegetables (2 different recipes!)

I have been exploring with making a rotisserie style whole chicken at home. If you can cook a whole chicken for a Sunday dinner (and have it taste amazing) than you officially are a self-sufficient grown up. For some reason, roasting a whole chicken seemed like something I would just never be able to do — I accepted that I would only have this meal when I went to my parents house for dinner. I never thought I would know how to make it myself. Turns out, I was over-reacting – it really is SO simple! I have made it a few times now, trying out different methods and ingredients.  I am going to share 2 different recipes with you: a juicy German-style roast chicken that is beyond simple to make and my favorite roast chicken that has a few extra steps involved (kitchen twine!)img_04782What’s a chicken without (more…)

Polish Beet Soup

Colder nights mean summer is winding down and the season for warm SOUP is upon us. I’d totally be lying if I said I didn’t eat soup even if its 90 degrees out! I grew up with soup being a part of almost every meal. My Babcia (grandmother) would ALWAYS be making some variety with whatever summer veggies were around, so I am used to eating soup in the summer… but for everyone else… Welcome to Soup Season!

I had some extra beets and potatoes left over from the Farmers Market, and I feel like I haven’t had eggs in a while…. so as a result… I made Borscht for dins. Here is my recipe derived mostly from memory and taste. I don’t really like to follow recipes; so I kind of make it work until it tastes AMAZE.
