Vanilla Panna Cotta with Bourbon-Poached Figs

Whenever I see figs, I must buy them. I can’t quite help myself, they are just so sexy. Then my brain starts spinning with all the possible things to do with them.

Roast Chicken and Vegetables

It is without a doubt, my favorite meal. I could have it every week and never tire of it.

The way the house smells when it is in the oven, the sound of the skin sizzling (which is exactly what I’m listening to as I write this…) makes my mouth water knowing that in a few moments when it is on my plate, I will sink my teeth eagerly into the perfect bite.

The crunch of the super crispy skin, the fat oozing out and coating my tongue. This is sublime satisfaction… the look of complete and utter joy on my face.
THIS is the meal you serve to the ones you love.
