The simple meal you have to make as a gift! Easy roasted chicken and vegetables.

As I have said before, food gifts are my favorite. My favorite to give and receive. Life is busy when you are young, middle aged or somewhere in-between. Getting kids to and from school and after-school activities, taking care of your parents sometimes and so on and so forth. Then when we get older, we have a hard time taking care of our own self. In all stages of life, the gift of food is always welcome for one reason or another. Either for financial relief or the task itself.

So! let’s get to cooking!  Today I am going to share a super simple and delicious meal idea. Roasted chicken and veggies. This meal will fit into all dietary restrictions. Thier is no gluten or diary in this. You can keep the salt minimal if that is a concern for the recipient. Keep in mind most seasoning blends have salt in them so either don’t add extra or don’t use the blend so you can let the person receiving the gift decide how much to use.

  • Traditions are so fun. I'm glad we could make it this year. 🎅🏻🎄❤️
  • The easiest meal prep dinner you’ll ever make. Just assemble the sliders. Pour over a butter mixture and then when I’m ready to cook it we just bake it at 350° for about 20 to 30 minutes until it gets heated through and it’s warm on the inside.

Molly and I are headed to a ladies church Christmas party tonight so we had to throw together a veggie tray for that and assembled this meal for tomorrow night. I’m working a 12 hour shift tomorrow. We will be eating dinner at the party tonight and the boys are going out too. I found some really good looking Duchess potatoes in the freezer section at Walmart today. Check out my stories and I’ll show you. We’re gonna serve the sliders with those potatoes.

  • Found this gem on my phone. A day in the life if you will. Man I'm blessed. When your going through the motions it may feel mundain. Hindsight being what it is, I love those days where I get stuff done and get to hangout with my people. 🎄

  • I have a lot of themed trees but this one is my favorite 😍

  • if you don’t have a full-size Christmas tree in your bedroom, you gotta do it. I bought this tree at 75% off at Lowe’s the week before Christmas last year. I’m definitely gonna go back this year and see about getting another tree for the dining room. And if you don’t think you have the room, trust me, you probably do. Just shove whatever’s in that corner in your closet. I promise you it will be worth it.
If you have to eat Ramen noodles for a week to be able to afford it, I promise you it will be worth it 🤣

this tree brings me so much joy ☺️

I was so close to not buying it last year because it was the week before Christmas and I really did not want to spend the $85. But I’m so glad I did!

  • Cover any existing decorative pillow with a pillow cover! You do not need to buy the whole pillow. Just buy a cover to fit an existing pillow. It saves space and money!

I found these covers after Christmas last year for less than $10 a piece.
