Locally raised, pastured whole chicken, roasted, loosely following Ina Garten's Roasted Chicken recipe. The cavity was stuffed with a head of garlic cut in half, a lemon (halved) and herbs. I used a big handful of fresh rosemary, thyme and sage (grown by a friend) and it smelled amazing and was very moist.
Veggies roasted with the chicken: carrots, onions, sweet potatoes
Cauliflower casserole
Quinoa medley (quinoa, brown rice, wild rice, red rice, lentils), cooked in homemade chicken bone broth
A mug of hot golden milk for dessert.
DH and I are on our own, as DS and DIL are visiting friends in another state, so I kept it simple.
I now have the carcass and some aromatic veggies simmering on the stove - whipping up a new batch of chicken bone broth. And most important - tons of leftovers in the refrigerator.
Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving.
