I love tackling new recipes, but I'm not always in the mood for the effort and risk associated with it. So sometimes I return to the recipes that have proven themselves to be winners in the past. It'll be a banner day when I can manage to memorize some of these, but for now, I still just work off of recipes. This mustard chicken recipe from Epicurious courtesy of Bon Appétit is simple, flavorful, healthy and oh so French. What more can you ask for in a casual weekday dinner? (OK, you might ask for it to look aesthetically pleasing, which I admit it doesn't, but you can't have everything!)
Roasted carrots are one of my favorite sides because they're super easy and so sweet and delicious.
There are recipes out there to make this more complex, but basically you can just toss carrots in some olive oil, salt and pepper and roast them in the oven at 400 for around 20-30 minutes depending on how thick they are and how caramelized you want them. Yum!
