Comfort food
When it's cold outside and you're feeling cold-y inside, easy comfort food is the way to go. With no real food in the house, I went to the nearby grocery store last night. I kept wandering up and down the aisles, but nothing seemed appealing, and the sodium levels in the canned soups were scary. Today, I took myself to Whole Foods and wandered up and down its aisles instead. There, I picked up a happy chicken, a couple of russett potatoes, an onion, and some fresh sage, among other things, and I took them home to make dinner. I sliced the onion and put it in a large baking dish, then put the chicken on top of them, rubbed it with garlic, butter, and fresh sage, and added sliced potatoes and carrots all around. A little sherry over the top, and into the oven it went. A couple of hours later dinner was ready, and I was a happier camper. :)

Sounds yummy and simple. I have started a new job and I am ever so tired when I get home! This sounds like something I could accomplish when I a ever so tired.
I agree! Comfort food is the only way to go. Last night E and I ate a mini meatloaf and ranch style beans after the boys were all in bed. After we finished, we actually craved for more. (Guess what I'm making for Saturday dinner?)
Congrats on the new job jd!
Mmm, meatloaf -- send some over Susan! I'm trying to figure out tonight's dinner now ...
I have been having a comfort food thing lately too. I roasted a chicken last weekend just like yours, and yesterday I made my favorite silly chicken and rice grandma casserole. It was so good.
lol I just made my mom's hamburger casserole tonight! We had a loaf of hot from the oven bread and butter to go with it! Yumma! Your chicken sounds terrific!
