New England Travels and Treats

Our fall ministry has recently taken us to New England. As you can imagine, the fall colors have been absolutely beautiful. Our journeys have take us to Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont and Massechusetts. We’ve been quite busy with both ministry and a few days of exploring. I thought I’d share one picture from each day, and also the best thing we ate in New England.

The first day took us through Virginia – what a beautiful state, but no real color to speak of.

Herb-Crusted Pizza

Skillet Roasted Lemon Chicken Recipe

Sometimes when I’ve planned my menu, I get excited about the upcoming meal, because it’s something new that I’m sure will be delicious! This happened recently after I had watched Ina Garten prepare a Skillet Roasted Lemon Chicken on You Tube. It had all the flavors we love, so I promptly added it to my menu…and then did what I frequently do when I make a new recipe – I invited guests to join us for dinner! Ha!

This recipe rivals and maybe even wins over my favorite Katie Brown Chicken recipe that I’ve been making for years! The lemon slices that line the cast iron skillet add so much flavor, as well as the infused olive oil that is brushed onto the chicken skin. Yum!
