what's cooking in my kitchen lately....

yummy favas... i have done a few things with these... i put them in the cuisinart with cinnamon basil & goat cheese...which made for a rustic fava chutney of sorts that i put on some pretzel baguette with tomatoes & pinenuts...also - a simple saute with some little onions & leeks is so good too...

carmelized carrots on the stove...start with little yellow onions & leeks...glazing them for about 15- 20 minutes on medium heat....then add the carrots with some water... boil... then back down to medium to soak up all the water...about 45 minutes in total. 

apricot & peach roasted chicken with cumin & cinnamon...massage with love & put it in the oven at 400 for about 45 minutes...best facts on how to roast a chicken...just plain and simple (then you can add what you want...) is in the joy of cooking
