I had a busy week last week with with four new recipes. This week it’s simple things like sausages and sauerkraut and leftovers from the freezer! I started reading a new blog that links to reviews of Rachael Ray recipes. (I know, I know! Hey, either she can cook, or she’s hired good cooks.) First up was Fajita Chilaquiles Casserole. I made this with steak, and halved the recipe. I thought there were...

Roasted Chicken Thighs and Vegetables
I made this tonight. Definitely a keeper. I used two white sweet potatoes, three carrots, two parsnips, a good dozen garlic cloves (on the grounds that they were small), and added an onion cut in sixths.

We added a thickly sliced Walla Walla Onion to the vegetables and it was very very good. Instead of serving this as tacos, we served chicken, vegetables, salad, and toasted some tortillas as a side. Used the chipotle sour cream as a garnish on the veggies and...
