Dutch Oven Roasted Chicken

January 1, 2019 By Lane Leave a Comment

Happy New Year! 2019 is here!  And so is our Dutch Oven Roasted Chicken!

Have I mentioned that I’m doing the Whole 30?  I can’t even really tell you why (because I’m not really sure), other than I wanted a challenge.  And for my carb addicted, cheese loving, Taco Bell going self, this might be the ultimate challenge.  But who knows, maybe I’ll find that I love it and my body loves it and I feel great and…well, hopefully I’ll survive anyway.  My stubborn nature will definitely come in handy here.  Thanks to my husband (who wasn’t given a lot of choice) and my friend, Lynnea, who are going to be my main source of support and have agreed to do the Whole30 with me.  And you.  I’m sure you all will support me.  Right?  Starting with this Whole 30 compliant Dutch Oven Roasted Chicken.

And if anyone else is doing the Whole 30, sound off below, or hit me up on social media!  Misery loves company!

Roasted VegetablesI was hosting a dinner the other night, when I realized I needed a side dish.  It had go with flank steak (recipe here), but the grill was going to be in use, so I needed to use the oven.  In came these Roasted Vegetables.

Otherwise known as “How to make vegetables taste like candy”.

Or otherwise known as “How to get your kids to eat vegetables”.

And sometimes the best recipes are the most simple.  You actually won’t believe how simple.  And here’s how to do it…

Falafel with Lemon Tahini Dressing

I’ve always had a thing for Falafel.  Never thought I could MAKE it though!  Turns out it’s not too hard…and oh so worth it!

Falafel with Lemon-Tahini Dressing

I recently read a book where all of the characters went outside of their comfort zones and ended up reaping some great rewards.  I truly wouldn’t have believed how much greatness was going to come from going outside of my culinary comfort zone!  I decided to dabble in vegan cooking-and YOU GUYS…!!!!

Turns out you don’t need meat, nor dairy, nor eggs to create an amazing flavorful meal!  Just try this Falafel with Lemon Tahini Dressing!…

Chipotle Pulled Pork Sliders

June 20, 2016 By Lane 30 Comments

Chipotle Pulled Pork As you can imagine, any time Holly and I get together there is a lot of talk about food.  And none more than when we are planning a girls weekend at my cabin.  We knew it would be hot.  We knew our other partner in crime (Hi Em!) was coming with us and likely didn’t want to spend ALL DAY cooking.  We knew we wanted delicious food.  Enter Chipotle Pulled Pork Sliders, made in the slow cooker.  My favorite kitchen tool in the winter, it is also unbelievably useful in the summer.    Especially when you don’t want to heat up your cabin with the oven.  Especially when you’re going to want something amazing for dinner.  Especially when you want to spend the day outdoors, splashing in the lake and taking the boat out for a spin!…

Rustic Onion Focaccia

January 18, 2016 By Holly Leave a Comment

DSC_0817

In my mind, there is very little better than a slice of homemade bread, just out of the oven. This focaccia, studded with bits of sweet yellow onion and topped with crunchy sea salt, is a carb lover’s dream. Sweet and salty with a hint of crispness in the crust, it’s the perfect accompaniment to a rich winter stew or soup.

DSC_0819

I first came across this recipe in the back pages of my dear Williams-Sonoma Cookbook. My copy is well loved – dog eared and splattered pages, frequently with notes scribbled in margins – and has yet to disappointment me with a recipe failure. Given my prior success, despite the fact that I am still very much a novice in the bread baking world, I decided to give it a go. I am so glad that I did as it will certainly be a new staple in my house.

The recipe makes a large amount of bread and could easily be halved for a smaller crowd. If you wind up with extras, however, the leftovers make excellent croutons when cut into cubes and slowly baked in the oven. You can add cheese (asiago is an excellent choice), sun dried tomatoes, herbs, or olives but the original recipes combination of yellow onion and sea salt is hard to beat.

What are your favorite bread recipes?

A rustic focaccia with onion and sea salt.
Author: The Williams-Sonoma Cookbook
Recipe type: Bread
Serves: 1 large focaccia
Ingredients
  • 1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
  • 1 Tablespoon sugar
  • 1½ cups warm water
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 1½ teaspoons salt
  • 4 to 4½ cups bread flour, with extra as needed
  • ½ cup chopped yellow onion
  • Coarse sea salt
Instructions
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add ½ cup of the water, the yeast, and sugar. Allow to sit at room temperature until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
  2. Add the remainder of the water, ¼ cup of the olive oil, the salt, and 1 cup of the flour and beat on medium-low speed for approximately two minutes (use the paddle attachment).
  3. Add the onion.
  4. Switch to the dough hook and beat in the remaining flour in small ½ to ¼ cup portions, until a shaggy dough begins to form. It should just pull away from the sides of the bowl.
  5. On low speed, knead the dough in the mixer until only slightly sticky, about 5-6 minutes.
  6. Cover the dough loosely and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
  7. Line a heavy rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and brush the paper with oil.
  8. Place the dough on the baking sheet and using your fingers, gently flatten the dough into an approximately 1 inch thick shape of your choice.
  9. Cover loosely with oiled plastic wrap and let rise until the dough doubles and is around two inches thick.
  10. Make deep indentations with your fingertips over the surface of the dough.
  11. Drizzle the dough with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle with coarse salt.
  12. Place a baking stone on the bottom oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees.
  13. Place the pan with dough on the stone and bake until the bread is lightly browned, 20-25 minutes.
  14. The bread can be served immediately, or at room temperature.
