Simply special.
t's not difficult to
turn an ordinary
meal extraordinary
by spending a few extra
minutes and adding a
few extra ingredients to
foods we eat often. Think
this week's chicken and
potatoes — a comforting,
winter-friendly meal that's
familiar yet the furthest
thing from mundane.
Simple roast chicken gets
a mini-makeover with a
sweet and spicy rub and a
built-in side dish of red bell
peppers and sweet onions.
Another side, potatoes —
with the surprise of curry,
cumin, lemon and fresh
cilantro — is a perfect
accompaniment to most any
entree. And before (or after)
the entree, try a creamy
baked brie that's an appe-
tizer or a dessert!
