The grass is greening.........

It's raining again and I'm pretty sure as soon as we have a day of sunshine it will be time to mow!  I kid you not.  Our new neighbors from California finally moved in.  They bought an old yellow school bus to move here and are then going to remodel it be a motor home!  I think that is really cool!  I haven't met them yet but my neighbor called to let me know they had moved in.  I should bake something and take it to them but maybe I'll wait until they get settled.

Here is my chicken I roasted yesterday....there might be a few pieces missing...lol!  I am always loving the crispy skin after it come out of the oven...yum!   This was Lisa's recipe from Farmhouse on Boone.  I used to use Ina Garten's recipe but Lisa's is better and more down to earth....no fancy ingredients just 'downhome cooking'!

I baked some sweet potatoes in the oven also while the chicken was cooking....sometimes the simplest foods are the best.  They're so easy to peel after they've cooled.

Tonight I went out and harvested some salad greens but I thought I would show you before I harvested.  This little greenhouse has provided me with greens all winter long!  I will be doing this next year too and maybe some other items.

I took my Day #3 of The Heritage Cooking Classes and it was very interesting as it was on curing meats and even making your own summer sausage.  Plus,  how to 'smoke' meats easily in your oven!
I am truly enjoying this class.  There is also a drawing each day for lots of wonderful products.  I hope I win one!  Stay safe tonight as I hear many are having blizzards and high winds.  We have a wind warning but so far so good and just rain. 
Happy Trails!!!
