Sunday Dinner Roast Chicken rubbed with truffle oil and Herbs De pravance Chicken and produce shopped at Save on Foods . I baked bread today to busy day in the Kitchem

When I roast my chicken I put a trivet in the bottom of the roasting pan , this elevates the chicken

A ‘vegetable trivet‘ refers to a selection of vegetables, often carrots, onions, celery, which are used as a bed for meat as it braises or roasts. The vegetables serve to impart flavour on the main ingredient as it cooks and can also be used to make a sauce for the final dish. I also halted an apple put half in the cavity of the chicken along with a small orange this will make the chicken juicy and very tasty .. Sunday dinners make me miss my mom (Mam) Sunday Dinners in our house were a family occasion

Food for Thought

Why do we have roast dinners on a Sunday? Origin. The British Sunday Dinner or Sunday Roast as it was called, was the main meal of the week. Served in the early afternoon, at this meal, a roast was typically served with Yorkshire pudding and all the glorious fixings like gravy, vegetable dishes and mashed potatoes.

The British origins of the Sunday roastIt’s widely believed that the British people’s love of beef began during the reign of King Henry the VII in 1485. I guess IU have King Henery V11 to thank for this wonderful family Sunday treat .

I am also making roast potatoes, Mash, Yorkshires and gravy, The grave tastes amazing! it isn’t the same cooking for just David and I , but these shifts are long and it is 7:30 by the time he gets home !! Long day for him. You all have a great Sunday and stay tuned I’m cooking black beans for black bean burgers and navy beans for some good old baked beans my way !!
