It is a lazy evening at our house. The teenager is off to the movies with her friends and hubby took the little one down to the community pool for a swim.
It is too hot to cook and frankly I’d rather be watching an episode Lark Rise to Candleford (I love British tv but I’ll talk about that later).
So I know when hubs and kid come back from their swim they’ll be starving for a late dinner. So I just threw this into the oven…

This is my Go-To Dinner.
Free-Range Chicken Legs and Brussel’s Sprouts
Drizzled with Coconut Oil and Spiced up with garlic powder, black pepper, sea salt, paprika and thyme
Thrown in an oven at 400 for about 40 – 50 minutes
So what is your go-to dinner??????
Mine is this: boneless chicken breasts (kosher), broccoli florets, cubed butternut squash, garlic cloves (a lot), and fingerling potatoes. Drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with whatever seasoning I’m in the mood for. Bake at 450 for 30 min. Mmm.
That sounds yummy! I love love love butternut squash. I am planning to grow some this year, very excited.
It’s been so hot here and since we don’t have air conditioning so food hasn’t been very appealing. Last night our dinner was sliced jalapeno peppers filled with goat cheese and watermelon. I know it doesn’t seem like much much but we managed to get down a little protein with some water based fruit and veggies. In this heat we rarely turn on the stove so I can’t imagine baking anything. Our so got-to summer dinner is often BLTs or grilled chicken, corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes an a fresh fruit. I long for fall and winter to return to enjoy all the delicious root veggies and roasted meats. One tip for hot weather – we absolutely love making infused spa waters to keep us hydrating. Freeze cucumber slices and add to water with fresh squeezes of lemon and lime and a sprig of mint. If you’re feeling adventurous, throw some watermelon into the blender and liquify, then pour through a strainer into the cucumber water. delicious!
Sounds awesome Shannon. I don’t mind baking something if I don’t have t be in the kitchen.
I love love love cucumber water!
Yum sounds tasty
