I'll have to find the original recipe and post it.<BR/><BR/>Tara - The recipe is RR's but here's a brief run-down: cut broccoli into florets, toss with roughly chopped garlic, chili powder, salt and pepper and then enough oil to coat evenly. Spread out on a baking sheet and roast at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes. Give them a check after 10 to see how things are progressing.Sarah - The Home Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932762716036801924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-72179673491552913482007-10-19T15:45:00.000-04:002007-10-19T15:45:00.000-04:00I keep meaning to ask you - how do you do your roa...I keep meaning to ask you - how do you do your roasted broccoli?Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12251172557293534614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-5292435827416224092007-10-19T12:43:00.000-04:002007-10-19T12:43:00.000-04:00This looks heavenly!

They're all intimidated by the bones or something, I guess... but seriously, how easy is rinse, dry, salt, pepper, oven, forget, serve? Couldn't be simpler.<BR/><BR/>I also love that crescent roll idea.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926184833095262275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-64229268101318784632007-10-18T09:00:00.000-04:002007-10-18T09:00:00.000-04:00Abby - Hi!

Welcome. :)<BR/><BR/>I got the idea for the dill from a recipe my aunt makes at Christmas using Pillsbury breadsticks. She shapes them into candy canes and adds dill and parmesan. They're so good!<BR/><BR/>JoJo - Hehe. Thanks! I know...SP and I were talking about how intimidating a roast chicken can be for people when it's really one of those "pop it in the oven and forget about it" meals. Aren't sweet potatoes insanely good? We're huge fans and they're so good for you, too. It's nice to see you back to commenting...I've missed some of my regulars. :)<BR/><BR/>Tara - I'll have to check out your blog...I'm always looking for new ways to roast chicken. <BR/><BR/>Melissa - Everything was good but it reminded us that sometimes we need to think about what we're making so we can be sure all the flavors play well together.Sarah - The Home Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07932762716036801924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32196802.post-72875213398605695352007-10-18T02:07:00.000-04:002007-10-18T02:07:00.000-04:00I saw pecorino in the store the other day and thou...I saw pecorino in the store the other day and thought of you... but still haven't bought it hahaha.

We're actually using Alton Brown's brine recipe, which is our favorite way to do turkey.

Crazy, huh? Well, it turns out that one of my children is CRAZY for chicken on the bone (who knew?), so I've been making it more often. Yummo! Thanks for reminding me about sweet potatoes too... it is that time of year and I love-love-love 'em!<BR/><BR/>Your site rocks, btw.

I also love how you put dill on the crescents to give them a little umph!Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12387869223038293214noreply@blogger.com
