3 course dinner!

Had a little extra time this Sunday evening so I decided to put a little more effort into dinner! A lovely three course meal packed with nutrients! If you have always hated vegetables give these recipes a try! You may change your mind :)
Appetizer: beet chips
1. Wash beets (use as many as you want)
2. Slice the beets as thin as possible
3. Spray a pan with olive oil 
4. Place the beets evenly spaced apart and spray the top of them with olive oil
5. Season with salt to taste 
6. Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, flip the beets over and bake for another 15 minutes or until crispy!
Let them cool a bit and enjoy!
Picture may not look overly appetizing but they did taste great!

Main course: roasted vegetables and chicken 
1. Unthaw the chicken and dice it up
2. Cut up all of your favorite vegetables. I used rutabaga, red onion, bell peppers, mushrooms, and black olives 
3. Spray the pan with olive oil
4. If you are using rutabaga or any potato place those in the pan and bake for 20 minutes (they take a little longer to cook)
5. Add in the chicken and vegetables 
6. Spray over the chicken and vegetables with olive oil
7. Spice to your taste. I used garlic salt, Italian seasoning and a little bit of cayenne pepper for extra spice! Just a a dusting of each over everything. 
8. Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until chicken and vegetables are cooked through. 

Enjoy while it's still hot! 

And for dessert... A pumpkin treat, recipe to come at a later time!
