Food Glorious Food!!!

 So, I don't cook very often.. and I know that is a terrible thing for a young bride to be to say and makes all grooms in waiting wince in anticipation of the whole smoke alarm kitchen timer and ramen for the whole first year....and a half... ;-) BUT!!  I have done a fair bit of cooking in my day and mostly my lack of cooking now is due to being too tired and lazy.. hello 9-5 jobs... ;-)

  Now, all that was to feed (ha!) into the fact that I had a bout of random inspiration and energy the other evening and made something awesome that I wanted to share.. share the recipe that is, not the food, we ate it all, and then looked guiltily at the sister/roommate who came rummaging around for food as we licked the last off our chops...awkward.

So, it started like this, I used Rehoboth Ranch leg and thigh quarters, rubbed them in olive oil and seasoning salt, basil and garlic salt and put them in a lightly oiled roaster pan.

I then cut a bell pepper and an onion in quarters, rubbed some olive oil on them and put them in the pan as well.

I sprinkled about a cup of rice all around in the bottom of the pan with the chicken and veggies, and put about a half inch of water in the whole pan, and sprinkled a can of green beans on top!

Poped it in the oven for 45 minutes at 375 and bam... dinner... it was AWESOME!!   When I do this again I may put the rice in first, because not all of it was in the water and cooked but Manly and I liked the crunchy-ness that they added and.. I was just beside myself that rice actually COOKED INSIDE one of the peppers!!!

Here's some pictures for your salivation... ;-)

See the uncooked little ricelets there on the chicken... mmmmmmmmmm!!!!
