Back on the market and back in the kitchen

During the past year I've worked for a footwear company, at time it was good and even great but my work there is done and now I'm on the market for a new job. I've been looking for something in a similar field, and realized I haven't updated my lovely little blog since last time I was on the market in 2009! Which makes me sad, but, I'll try to update more regularly. 

Anyway, to my point. I'm a girl who hasn't ever had to make a complicated meal, and who isn't the best of cooks - also, did I  mention I'm on a budget?

Anyway I made chicken last night and it took under an hour of prep time and 3 hours of cooking time. I headed to Albertsons and bought a 5lb. chicken for about 5 dollars - they must have been on sale.

I used to go on these short walks with my boyfriend, and I noticed there was a huge rosemary bush just growing wild, so we took about half a cup of rosemary. 

Here is my recipe. 

Use olive oil and rub it all over your bird

Use the juice from 1 lemon and drizzle it on the bird

Use the remaining lemon and place it in the bird's cavity

1/4 onion inside the cavity

5 cloves inside the cavity

1/2 cup of rosemary - washed 

If you're going to cook potatoes, dice them and use some of the chicken fat to season the potatoes but do it on another plate. Potatoes on the same pot will result in lemony potatoes, they are ok but not great. 

Anyway here is my picture. I cooked at 325 for 2:30 -3 hrs depending on over.
