so today Maddies 2nd tooth cut through the gum. the first tooth cut through 2 days ago. there is just a tiny bit of sharp tooth cutting through for both of them.

in other news....ive been trying to cook again. Not so much for weight loss (even though this would help) but more to just go back to our old healthier lifestyle.

to start with, i roasted a chicken with some potatoes and veggies. this is so easy....i stuff the chicken with lemon and garlic.



The chicken comes out so tender....i was putting maddie to sleep while jae carved the chicken. when i came back down, he said he didnt even need to carve it. it just melted off the bone. seriously, i had never seen anything like this. there was NO meat left on the carcass....



the potatoes are good bc they get caramalized in the oven and get that crispy outside.

the next day, i took the carcass, wings, and drumsticks and made chicken soup. making homemade organic fresh soup from chicken or turkey bones is one of my favorite things to do. seriously, its soooo delicious. it hits the spot.



to go with the soup, i took the leftovers from the chicken, potatoes and veggies and chopped them up really small. I then left them in a thin layer on a frying pan to crisp up. I just invented this off the fly.... I was thinking corned beef hash.



i love crispys!



then i took some lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo...put this into a pita and scooped the hash into the pita.

so easy and simple! delicious and healthy.
