Simply Roasted Chicken Legs and Veggies

-
 
Lin and I went out with friends last night to celebrate an anniversary, but I still wanted the kids to eat a decent, filling supper without spending a lot of time on it. This fit the bill quite perfectly and was very tasty too!
 
I had been to the grocery store in the forenoon and picked up some chicken legs quarters and some McCormick Perfect Pinch Original Chicken Seasoning. I seasoned the chicken in the forenoon with plain sea salt (to tenderize) on all sides and refrigerated it until late afternoon.
 
The Pampered Chef Bar Pan was perfect for this recipe. Spray pan with oil, arrange 4 Chicken Leg Quarters and fill in the spaces with Red Potato Chunks, Carrots, and Shallots that have been tossed in Garlic Oil and seasoned with the chicken seasoning.

 
Bake at 400° for 1 hour. Test chicken for doneness with an instant read thermometer. Push into thickest part of the thigh not touching any bone. It should read 165°. The garlic oil, seasoning, and the drippings from the chicken seasoned the veggies just right. They were yummy!
 
It is fabulously beautiful outside tonight, and I can't think of anywhere else I'd rather be than outside enjoying it.! I hope you get to enjoy it too! :)
 
♥Blessings!♥

    Martha, you are such a good mom. I can imagine the delight on the boy's faces when they pulled this out of the oven. They probably felt sorry for you that you had to eat out!

Creamy Finger Jello

-
Image
I was asked to bring finger Jello to serve with a hot lunch us room Mom's were serving to Serena's classroom at school. Jello isn't something I typically serve,but I have about 2 or 3 recipes using Jello that I make about once in a blue moon. One reason I make this one is because it isn't a typical, plain finger Jello. But also because it looks like a two step process when it really isn't. Everything is mixed as one and it separates as it sets. And the cream adds a good flavor. 2 large boxes Jello 4 packages plain gelatin 4½ cups boiling water ¼ cup cold water 1 cup heavy cream Combine the Jello and gelatin and whisk together. Add the boiling water and whisk until Jello is dissolved. Add the remaining ingredients and stir. Pour into a lightly greased (this helps to remove from the pan in a cleaner cut, spray the pan then wipe it down with a paper towel) glass 9 X 13 pan. Cover and chill till firm. Cut into desired shapes or squares and serve.

Seasoned Pretzels

These pretzels have been around the block and back again, but they  really are  such an easy snack and they go well as an appetizer too. They are simple and require no baking which in my opinion is a definite plus! 18 ounces pretzel twists ½ cup olive oil 1 envelope original Hidden Valley Ranch Mix 1 teaspoon dill weed ½ teaspoon garlic powder Pour pretzels into a large bowl. In a smaller bowl combine oil and seasonings and mix well with a whisk. Pour over pretzels and toss to coat. Allow to rest at room temperature, stirring every now and then to coat again, until oil and seasonings are gone from the bottom over the bowl. Pretzels are ready to serve when they look dry again. Be Blessed!

Rice Krispy Rollups

Here is another chocolate and peanut butter concoction that is totally irresistible and so easy to make. I sometimes make these instead of cookies if  I'm not in the baking mood. The only trouble is they never last long. Here's what you'll need: ¼ cup butter, melted 10½ ounces mini marshmallows 5½ cups Rice Krispies 1½ cups milk chocolate chips ½ cup peanut butter Melt butter in a 6 quart kettle, add marshmallows. Melt completely over low heat. Add the Rice Krispies. Mix well. Spread evenly into a greased 10½ x 15½ baking sheet. In a microwave safe bowl combine chocolate chips and peanut butter.  Melt at 1 minute intervals until completely melted, stirring after each minute. Spread on top of Rice Krispy mixture. Let set in a cool place till chocolate mixture sets up. Be careful not to let the chocolate get too hard, it will not make a neat roll if you do. Loosen all around with a metal spatula. Roll, starting on
