Perfect Crispy Chicken Thighs

if you’re not drooling at this, then there’s something wrong

I stumbled across this foolproof recipe for perfectly cooked chicken thighs on The Kitchn one day and it changed the way I think about chicken FOREVER (that’s not hyperbole, that’s truth).

sprouts are a raw, live food….which basically makes them super-healthy

Hubs recently dug out his ancient, but still functional, sprouter.

Lemon Basil Herb Paste

Despite my carnivorous ways, I’m a big fan of Meatless Mondays.
