Roasted Chicken

Now as some of you know I am not your traditional cook. I tend to be a bit lazy at times! But most times my food comes out DELISH! 1 Whole Chicken, Frozen 1/4 C and a drizzle of olive oil Seasoning Potatoes either white or sweet or both Carrots  Onions I use a 13x9 pan. Put Whole Frozen bird in pan, drizzle olive oil on top of bird (may slide off a little) and add seasoning here too. Arrange around the outside whatever will fit a mix of potatoes, onions and carrots (Suggest putting in a bowl add about 1/4 C of olive oil and seasoning, mix so everything is coated. Arrange around the bird). Put tinfoil over the whole thing. Put in 350* oven for one hour, remove foil then turn oven up to 400* and return the bird mix to the oven and bake another 30 mins. Be sure to check with meat thermometer(180* on poultry) to see if it is cooked thoroughly. May need to cook another 15-30 mins. All ovens are not the same..... Let sit for about 5-10 mins and serve. Enjoy!   ...

Put in microwave to soften for about 5 mins then stir and return for  another 5 mins...if soft move onto next step...if not stir and another  5 mins until they are soft. Not melting ...fork soft-poke a fork through them with ease. Ok next step drizzle your olive oil over the top of potatoes along with the seasoning. Stir carefully so all the potatoes are covered in oil & seasoning. Dump into oven safe baking pan 13x9 will do. Broil (450*) for about 15-20 mins. These are not going to be crispy they will be sticky soft. Enjoy!

Turkey Cake

I was asked to make this a few years ago to see if it was possible. I had fun making it but in reality don't think it is practical for everybody. It is good only if you like all your food together in one slice. LOL! We weren't to crazy about the marshmallows but maybe if I had toned them down a bit(had the top stuffed with them) it would have been better. Otherwise, it really wasn't any different then a plate full of food all mixed together. I am sorry can't find my pic of my version which turned into a square cake. Lost when computer died! I got the recipe from here: http://www.chow.com/recipes/29029-thanksgiving-turkey-cake This is what it was suppose to look like..... taken from website above   For the turkey layers: Unsalted butter , for coating the pans 2 pounds ground turkey breast 1 cup quick-cooking oats 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese , grated on the small holes of a box grater 1/3 cup ketchup 1/3 cup finely chopped yellow onion 1/4 cup finel...
