Skillet Roasted Lemon Chicken Recipe

August 17, 2026August 16, 2026 RefreshHer2 Comments

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!

Hosting Small Group Dinner in Our Home

April 20, 2026April 20, 2026 RefreshHer2 Comments

We’re having dinner with our small group this week and I’m excited about the fellowship we’ll share! It’s just the best! Sometimes we struggle finding a theme so the meal will “mesh” together. I suggested we do a Sunday-type dinner with chicken and veggies.

I signed up to bring a chicken dish. I’m opting for this hearty grilled chicken salad. It’s a favorite of ours that I’ve shared before, but I share it again because it’s on my menu this week, AND because it’s so very good and I’d love for it to try it!

Menu Monday

February 16, 2026February 15, 2026 RefreshHerLeave a comment

After a few weekends on the road, we’re home for a couple weeks. That means that my empty fridge needs to be stocked! The eggs, butter and condiments are lonely in there!

I’m still making my way through my pantry and freezer, but it’s scaled back enough that I’m purchasing a few items outside the “perishable only“ category.

I pulled up my Pinterest inspirations and made up my menu for lunches and suppers. These are mostly all new recipes to me! This will be spread out over the next two weeks with other freezer staples being used as well.

I created this menu on my phone while driving home from North Carolina, then took a screen shot to show you. I also made my shopping list on my phone while I created the menu. I usually do this in my planner when I’m home, but where there’s a will, there’s a way!

A Fall Road Trip & Family Recipes

October 20, 2025October 19, 2025 RefreshHer2 Comments

I had the blessing of making a trip to Kentucky this weekend to visit with my mom. The trip here was a beautiful fall drive through the Cumberland Gap. The trip on that route is always refreshing, but on Saturday the colors made me gasp! The curvy roads dotted with barns and silos were even prettier with the autumn colors as a backdrop. I’m thankful that the trip is an easy one. I enjoy listening to an audio book while I drive. It truly makes the time pass quickly. Then conversations with my girls and my husband also made the trip easier!

Not long after I arrived at my mom’s house she said, “Guess what we’re having for supper?” Many things popped into my head that she is known for, but before I had a time to start guessing she said, “Herbed Chicken!” Oh my, this recipe takes fried chicken up a sophisticated notch! The chicken breast is filled with an herbed cream cheese mixture and it’s heavenly! I haven’t made it for a couple of years, so I was excited about the supper meal coming in a few hours! I first shared the recipe here – a long time ago!
