As bad as the weather has been here it looks as though it's even worse down South. I hope it improves for them, because they're really not prepared for it in the South. No more snow here again, 2 days in a row! Still with that wind chill it's around zero, but the temperature climbed to 18 today. They say the weekend will hit the mid forties, hope their right. For dinner tonight it's an Italian Chicken Mini Sub w/ Roasted Carrots with Parsnips and Herbs.
I used a Perdue Perfect Portions Italian Style Chicken Breast, which I love using. Their individually wrapped and you can keep them in the fridge or freeze them and just grab one when your ready to use it. I baked a couple of them, one for dinner and one for lunch tomorrow. i preheated the oven to 350 degrees and baked the breasts for about 24 minutes, flipping it over one time. They came out delicious! I served them on a Meijer Bakery Mini Deli Wheat Bun and topped with a thin slice of Murray's Muenster Cheese and Ice Berg Lettuce.
I usually have Baked Ore Ida Fries with sandwiches but I picked up some great looking Carrots and Parsnips while at the store yesterday so it was Roasted Carrots with Parsnips and Herbs. I used a real easy and simple recipe for them. Besides the Carrots and Parsnip I needed; 3 tablespoons Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 1 teaspoon Sea Salt (or to taste), 1 teaspoon Black Pepper (or to taste), 2 teaspoons Rosemary, 2 teaspoons Thyme, 2 teaspoons Sage, and 2 tablespoons Water. To prepare them I heated oven to 350 degrees. Halve each parsnip crosswise where it becomes narrow. Diagonally cut the narrow portions into 3/4-inch thick slices. Quarter the wider portions and diagonally cut them into 3/4-inch thick slices. Then in a large bowl, tossed the parsnips and carrots with olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary,thyme, and sage. Spread mixture in a large shallow baking pan and pour in the water. Roast vegetables in lower third of oven until tender, about 30–35 minutes. These are too good! The vegetables with the added herbs make a perfect side dish. For dessert later a Healthy Choice Chocolate Swirl Frozen Yogurt.
