The best Roast Chicken you will ever make
This chicken is marinated in buttermilk, which amps up flavour, keeps everything juicy, and makes the skin super crispy. It’s one of those meals that makes Sunday special and cozies up any weeknight. And if there happens to be any left over, prepare yourself for the best chicken sandwiches tomorrow.
Classic Beef Stew
There a few recipes as comforting as a classic beef stew, braised over time with harvest potatoes and vegetables and served with a baguette. Begin this one mid-afternoon to have it ready just in time for dinner. You can always set your oven timer, or prepare it the night before and cook in a slower cooker.
