In the wake of Paula Deen’s “revelation” that she’s had diabetes for years, I am feeling good about the fact that I actually cook and share recipes for what we eat at home knowing it keeps us (and you!) healthy. In Frank Bruni’s article on the Paula Deen topic, he writes that in conversations with top chefs about what they eat at home, they often mention roast chicken and vegetables. I had to LOL. It’s true! They do cook like real people at home. I knew it.
That said, I think this the perfect time to share my recipe for Simple Roast Chicken. This week, I served it with Split Pea Puree – an easy, fabulous and filling favorite. Enjoy them both in good health!
BTW, you may have noticed that the “small indulgence” section of GYYB recipe index is, um, small. There’s a reason for that. If I baked and we ate as much dessert as we truly wanted to, well, we’d have health issues too. We watch what we eat (without suffering!) most of the time so we may treat ourselves occasionally. It’s also why we exercise almost every day. After all, life without a sweet treat here or there sounds dreadful, no?
