My favourite roasted chicken recipe

This is probably one of my all time favourite meals now. I used this recipe and added fennel to it and oh my goodness, it was incredible. It's good all on its own but the first time I made it I also mashed potatoes with dill and steamed carrots on the side. As fantastic as it tastes the first day, it is even better the next day when the onion and fennel soften and caramelize further. It is so aromatic, it makes the whole house smell good. :)

Weekend

Breakfast - Vegetable egg scramble (serves 1)
2 brown eggs
1 cup chopped raw spinach
1/4 cup chopped raw mushrooms
1/4 cup diced green pepper
1/4 cup diced red onion
Olive oil for the pan
A dash or two of ground black pepper and paprika

Sometimes I add some grated cheese on top but this morning I opted not to.

For lunch, I actually made another weekend breakfast choice...

Lunch - Whole grain pancake with stewed fruit (serves 3)
Pancake
1 cup whole grain pancake mix
1 cup skim milk
1 brown egg
1/8 tsp olive oil for the mix and a bit for the pan

Stewed fruit
4 small gala apples
1/2 cup rhubarb
1/2 cup mango (optional)
1-2 tsp unrefined granulated sugar or Agave nectar
3/4 - 1 cup water

Peel and dice apples (the smaller, the less time it will take), place in small pot with the water and sugar of choice. Cook on medium-low heat - I have never timed this process but I would estimate around 30-45 minutes. Once the fruit is nice and soft, spread a generous portion on top of the pancake.

Dinner - Spinach salad with mini pita tuna melts (serves 2)
Spinach Salad (per serving)
1 cup raw spinach
1/8 cup chopped mushroom
1/8 cup diced green pepper
1/8 cup diced red pepper
1/8 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup sliced zucchini
1-2 tsp poppy seed dressing
Grated cheese (optional)

Mini Pita Tuna Melts
6 mini whole wheat pitas
1 can low sodium tuna
1/4 cup chopped green onion
1/8 cup diced green pepper
1 tbsp mayonnaise
Grated cheese

Mix up tuna, mayo, onion and pepper. Spoon portion onto each pita evenly. Sprinkle grated cheese on top. Bake at 350 F until cheese is melted (5-10 minutes).
