I woke up early this morning, reached over for my phone to do a little surfing. I think I’m finally convinced that my fb newsfeed is equivalent to other’s ‘Google news balanced by Drudge…daily news.’ Don’t shake your head. When I make Crispy Chicken Legs with Sweet Tomatoes, because my friend Jamie Oliver suggested them, you will surely acknowledge that social media….ain’t all social. There’s great stuff out there.

Here’s the link to this fabulous recipe from Jamie Oliver. Thanks for the tip Jamie (we’re tight like that). This one pot no-fuss meal comes together quickly and requires no attention. The layers of flavor do all the work. Serve this to guests and you’ll be a super star.

I just want to say that this recipe is simple and DELICIOUS! I threw a little cayenne on and i used some dried time that i had, and a little rosemary as well, it turned out just beautifully. Looks gourmet but only takes a minute to throw together. I might throw a little white wine in the dish next time at some point. That would just be decadent. I also used a glass pyrex dish instead of the dutch oven (as i don’t have one currently) and it worked wonderfully. Love you’re site!
XOXO
