Sheet Pan Lemon Chicken and Potatoes

Ingredients

1 cup fresh lemon juice (from 4 to 5 lemons)
1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano leaves or 2 tbsp. dried
10 cloves garlic, smashed
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 tbsp. salt
1 tbsp. pepper

6 skin-on whole chicken legs (I used about 2 lbs each of breasts and thighs)
3 lb. medium Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
Crusty bread, for serving

Directions

In a large resealable plastic freezer bag, add the lemon juice, oregano, garlic, 1/4 cup oil, 1 tbsp. salt, and 1 tbsp. pepper and seal tightly; shake to mix the marinade. Add the chicken to the bag and seal tightly; turn a few times to coat the chicken. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 hours.

Preheat the oven to 400°. Drizzle a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Scatter the potatoes evenly over the baking sheet. Place the chicken, skin-side up, on top of the potatoes. Pour the marinade from the bag over the chicken and potatoes.

Bake the chicken and potatoes until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a chicken leg registers 165°, about 45 minutes. Preheat the broiler. Transfer the chicken to a plate. Broil the potatoes until browned in spots, about 5 minutes. Add the chicken to the baking sheet. Broil until the skin is crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken and potatoes to a platter. Pour the pan juices into a pitcher. Serve the chicken and potatoes with the pan juices and crusty bread.

No Flour Cornbread

Ingredients

2 cups white cornmeal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 eggs
2 cups buttermilk (I used goats milk)
1⁄4 cup butter

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Put first 3 ingredients in mixing bowl and whisk together. Lightly beat the eggs and combine with the milk. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients.

Put butter in well-seasoned 10-inch cast iron skillet and put in oven until the butter melts. Swirl to coat bottom and sides. Pour extra into the batter and mix.

Pour entire mixture into the skillet.

Place skillet on middle rack of oven. Bake until cornbread is springy in the middle, browned and pulling away from the skillet on the sides (about 15-20 minutes).

Remove from oven and invert skillet over serving plate.

Original recipe used 1/4 cup bacon grease instead of butter. If using butter, adding about 1/4 tsp salt might be better.

From Food Network, just simply add 1 cup steel cut oats with 1 cup dried cranberries, 1 cup dried figs and 4 cups water and 1/2 cup half and half. Cook 8 hours on low. I'm going to substitute raisins for cranberries and add the spices and flax seed from above and use water instead of half and half.

Changes: I just substituted 1 cup parsnips for the turnip and it was better. Also, add more salt and about 1-2 tbsp mustard to the recipe.

Steak Marinade

1/3 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce

1 1/2 Tbsp garlic powder
3 Tbsp dried basil
1 1/2 Tbsp dried parsley flakes
1 tsp ground white pepper
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp minced garlic

Combine all ingredients. Pour marinade over meat. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Cook meat as desired.


Note: until I use it up, I substituted 4-5 Tbsp of a spice mix that I have for all the powdered spices in the list above. It's a close enough match and worked fine the first time.

14 oz can of diced tomatoes 
8 oz. Baby Bella Mushrooms quartered

Directions:

In a slow cooker, mix all ingredients. cover, and cook 4 to 6 hours on High or 10 to 12 hours on Low. Remove bay leaves before serving.

(Recipe called for ¾ cup each of the barley and lentils. I guess it’s ok as long as it adds up to 1.5 cups. This would be a fine recipe with just barley)
