See how much laughter and memories came from sharing a once embarrassing story. Reminds me of my friend whose cell phone fell off the car seat into the bowl of Italian green salad. When she tried to take it back because “it didn’t work”, they took it apart and said “of course not, it has olive oil in it.”

Cali, Sounds like Santa needs to bring you some poultry seasoning in your stocking this year. I am sure it would be fine without it too – just a slight different taste.
If you don’t have poultry seasoning in your cupboard (this is the only recipe I use it in – poultry seasoning is a mix of sage,coriander, majoram, black pepper, celery seed and allspice.

This looks perfectly delish & easy, my two favorite things about cooking 🙂
I usually do a potroast with all the fixings – it’s a little pricier but folks like the “comfort food” side of it. If it’s a small family, then sometimes there’s enough roast to give them plenty as well as keeping a portion or two for hubbs & I to have for lunch or on sandwiches or something. I put the roast & veggies in one of those aluminum trays & bring that along with a tray of brownies & a bagged salad. Everyone can use brownies, especially if they don’t care for potroast. 🙂
Someday we hope to have a 2nd freezer & once that happens, then I plan on making lasagnas & pot pies to have on hand for occasions like that. Yummy post!

Clark would rather have a bucket of fried chicken then just about anything else!
