I love watching cooking shows. Ina Garten and Bobby Flay are on a first name basis in our household. Cooper, my 3.5 year old son actually calls me Ina, which makes me beam with pride even though I know it's only because Ina's in the kitchen and clearly not comparing our actual culinary skills, but I can pretend. :) Okay.

Believe it or not I’m going to give you a recipe for roasted chicken. If you’re having thoughts of long and drawn out preparations for your Thanksgiving turkey, trust me, this is different and will not disappoint. For a better part of the year, I’ve roasted chickens in the oven since I’m roasting my own little bun in the oven and wanted options for sandwiches that mimicked the ease of lunchmeat (Why you might want to avoid lunchmeat while pregnant).
