While I'm not one for a weekly menu plan (I know, shame on me), I do have one thing that it's a staple in our weekly dinner menu - roast chicken. Sometimes I cook them; often, I pick them up at the local grocery store. (Sometime I'll share with you all the secret of my roast chicken - it's easy and amazing!)

It's called a Kitchen Machine. This baby has an 800 watt motor and a 6.5 quart mixing bowl - big enough and strong enough to mix up to 15 lbs of bread … [Read more...]
