Dinner!! Wednesday nights are busy around here so I like to have dinners that I can get ready ahead of time but still yummy and healthy. Tonight, roasted chicken with baby potatoes and roasted asparagus and tomatoes. I had an 8 lb chicken that I could put in before getting the kids from school. I washed cut and tossed with olive oil, asparagus and cherry tomatoes. Lay out on foil lined pan and cover. Toss potatoes in olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 350. Place chicken on roasting pan and surround with potatoes. Brush chicken with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast chicken for 2 1/2-2 3/4 hrs. depending on when you want to eat, you can put the asparagus in when chicken is done or let chicken sit for 15 min covered with foil and then roast asparagus for 10-14 min.

This is everything prepped to go. Just cover and put in whenever is good. Yummy!

This is such a great way to get healthy olive oil into your diet but in weight friendly amounts. I use this in place of cooking spray and instead of pouring olive oil into a sauté pan. I also love this for spraying on salads, I just need another one for my vinegar!

 

Oh, and by the way, my arms and chest are KILLING me today form the workout yesterday! Glad today is a rest day but I’ll be jumping back in tomorrow!

Here is my finished peppermint bark. I broke it up and put it in a mason jar, added a tag and bow. I listed the ingredients on the tag in case of allergies.

I used mason jars for my bark. They look pretty and are inexpensive.
