Butterflied Roast Chicken with Lemon and Rosemary
This butterflied roast chicken with lemon and rosemary is tender and juicy, and there's lots of crispy golden skin to enjoy. By removing the backbone with a knife or kitchen scissors to flatten the chicken, it cooks quicker and more evenly and the breast meat doesn't dry out. Butterflied chicken is especially good on the grill.
Pinto Bean and Sausage Soup
This soup with pinto beans was one of my favorites at a local deli. The woman who owned and made the soups there was retiring. I asked her why, and she said, 'I'm an old lady. I'm tired of getting up early for work.' She gave me the recipe for one of my favorites. I made a few tweaks; it's delicious!
