This simple Lemon Rosemary Baked Chicken is absolutely mouthwatering and is up there on my list of favorite chicken recipes.
Flavoured with just four simple ingredients of lemon, butter, rosemary and garlic.
Oh and of course some great seasonings that make for a memorable meal.
I tend to pick up 2 roasting chickens everytime I go do a big shop and when I do this is one of my go to recipes.
Because it goes well with everything and is pretty darn healthy too!
This bird can be served in under 45 minutes with most of the time spend on baking in the oven.
Crispy, moist and succulent is how I would describe it.
Feel free to add some potatoes and carrots around the bird it if desired or serve that separate on the side.
If your wanting to feed more than 3 people then you can bake two birds.
Totally up to you just make sure to set your oven to conventional bake in that case.
Oh and don’t forget to keep the carcass/bones to make a chicken stock with and some homemade chicken noodle soup.
Can it get better than this?
Note: It’s very important to preheat your oven prior to cooking the bird, this ensures even cooking.

Sole Meunière is a classic French dish that is super easy and quick to prepare. Julia Child made this dish famous Worldwide, I’m certain you have heard of her before?
However, in case you have not. Then let me tell you she was an amazing American cook.
Who happened to stumbled upon Le Cordon Bleu, an World renowned French cooking school. She was living aboard at the time with her husband who traveled often for work.
How do I know? Well I watched the movie of course, no less than a dozen times. Crazy how fast time flies and that blogging now is nothing what it was then.
Now it takes much more work, however I won’t get into all that.
is sole meuniere healthy
IS SOLE MEUNIERE HEALTHY
Yes, it is healthy. It does have a lot of butter in it. However, everything in moderation is okay. Now for my recipe, I have cut the butter in half. So it makes this dish much healthier than the original recipe calls for from Julia Child.
This recipe here is inspired by her recipe from her Cookbook “THE WAY TO COOK” and the movie that inspired many.
Personally, I don’t like to use as much butter as she calls for so this recipe calls for half. But trust me it’s more than enough, but if you insist on following her recipe to the tea.
Just double the butter for the original version. Either way you can’t go wrong with this simple yet flavorful dish that is sure to make you a french food lover. Bone appetite!
WHY IS SOLE MEUNIERE SO EXPENSIVE
Well, if your going out to the Restaurant’s to find this. Then that is why! Have you ever heard of an inexpensive French Restaurant? Nope, neither have I.
WHAT DOES SOLE MEUNIERE MEAN
Sole meunière is a FRENCH recipe, sole is the fish used that is then Meuniere by way of flour, lemon juice and parsley.

HOW TO COOK SOLE MEUNIERE
This recipe is simple and can be made in under 15 minutes. all you will need is some flour, clarified butter, lemon, parsley and salt and pepper. And a hot non stick skillet, for frying.
Oh yes of course the fish too!!
If you don’t have clarified butter on hand regular butter will do the trick. serve with some fresh lemon wedges and a side of your liking and your will have yourself a great meal.
“I suddenly discovered that cooking was a rich and layered and endlessly fascinating subject. The best way to describe it is to say that I fell in love with French food- the tastes, the processes, the history, the endless variations, the rigorous discipline, the creativity, the wonderful people, the equipment, the rituals.” ~ Julia Child, My Life in France
Note: Switch out the traditional parsley for mint and you will be surprised at how great it pairs too.

This Creamy Lemon Cucumber and Tomato Salad is my favorite way to make a Cucumber salad, it’s super Fresh and Creamy!
Make it ahead of time and store it in the fridge to allow the flavors to develop more.
What kind of Cucumber Salad have you tried?
The German variety that leans more towards a Vinegary taste?
Or the American Varieties that leans more toward a creamy taste?
Personally, I prefer something in between and this salad is exactly that.
Summer is right around the corner, can you feel it in your part of the country yet?
This salad is perfect for those hot summer nights and even goes great when chilled to be taken along with any type of outdoor picnic.
This salad will taste much better if you can get your hands on some garden tomatoes, the sweeter the tomatoes the better this salad will taste.
We sent Bubba out to our local farmers market and he came back with these large sweet and succulent tomatoes and crispy cucumbers that worked so good in the salad.
We then experimented with all few ingredients to come up with this Creamy Lemon Cucumber and Tomato Salad.
If wanting your to feed a larger crowd we recommend doubling this recipe with our easy to use recipe adjuster.
Doesn’t this look so fresh and just say SUMMER has arrived or what!
Note: The colder the salad the better it taste, so try to chill it in the fridge for one hour prior to serving.
