Beerless Can Chicken

Okay, so we all know that we can't have beer. But there are other things that you can put in a can inside a chicken for flavoring. Any flavoring you like for chicken, can be put inside an empty can.


1 full chicken
1 empty beer or pop can
water to fill 1/2 the can
flavoring - 3 tbsp ghee OR
              - rosemary and thyme OR
              - lemon juice and rosemary OR
              - lime juice and chilis


Make sure to always season (salt and pepper) your chicken before cooking. I like to use some of the flavoring as a rub on the outside of the chicken as well.
Fill half the can up with water and then add the flavorings you like to the can. Put the can upright in the middle of an oven-safe pan. Put the chicken on top of the can standing the chicken upright as well. Bake in a 400F oven until the chicken is cooked through. You can also cook this on the BBQ if you'd prefer! Great for the summer!

This is a great dinner that you can have every night of the week if you wanted. The leftovers are great for lunch. Completely safe and candida-free.

Oven Roasted Garlic Asparagus

The spring started early this year and in turn, so did the asparagus. Already it is popping up at stores everywhere. There are a lot of great things you can do with asparagus. It has a mild flavor that goes well with so many different dishes. I love using it in an omelette or frittata for breakfast. It is great grilled up and put in a salad. I love it baked, fried, grilled or BBQed. It can really be prepared any way you like!

Ingredients:
1  lb asparagus
1  Tbsp olive oil
3  Tbsp balsamic vinegar
    salt and pepper to taste

Directions:


1) Preheat the oven to 425F.
2) Cut of break the woody ends of the asparagus off. Lay them into the pan and sprinkle with the olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.
3) Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on the width of the stalks. Serve hot!
