Uh-oh everyone. Now that I'm (Nicky) doing most of the cooking around here, this blog is turning into "Things Nicky Can Cook in 60-Minutes Or Less That Everyone Will Like".blogspot.com.

I'm ok with that.

Easy Roasted Chicken Thighs Recipe

Adapted from Martha Stewart:http://www.marthastewart.com/340992/roasted-chicken-thighs

Ingredients

• 1 package of chicken thighs, skinless 
•          (Original recipe calls for bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, but
•           mine turned out fine!)
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 1 lemon, juiced
• Coarse salt and ground pepper
• 1 tablespoon whole grain mustard
• 2 tablespoons honey

Directions

1. In a bowl, toss chicken thighs with olive oil and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper and marinate 1 hour (or up to a day).
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roast chicken, in a glass casserole dish, 25 minutes; flip 10 minutes in. Check to make sure you've reached 165 F degrees.
3. Stir together grainy mustard and honey and season with salt and pepper. Brush glaze onto chicken and broil 5 minutes.

Awesome Applesauce

Adapted from Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution

• Four McIntosh Apples (eating apples): peeled, cored and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 1/2 an orange, zested first and then juiced
• a pat of butter
• 1/4 cup of sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 nutmeg, fresh ground
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• About 6-7 oz of apple juice or water (3/4 cup)

1. Get your apples ready and set aside
2. Zest the orange half over a small saucepan, then squeeze in the juice
3. Add the butter, sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves
4. Put the pan over low heat and let the butter melt. When butter begins to bubble, add in apples
5. Put a lid on the pan and cook 20 to 25 minutes over medium to low heat, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft. (Check levels of liquid and add your apple juice or water if you feel like it looks dry.)

This is good warm or cold and we had it with some steamed asparagus and some dry-rubbed pork chops, using this rub: Simple Rosemary Pork Chops. To quote Evie's favorite, Peppa Pig, "Deeee-licious!"
