How to cook a chicken whole

February 23rd, 2013

My husband just recently showed me a great way to roast a whole chicken and still have it tender, moist, and taste great.

Your ingredients are a whole chicken, sticks of butter, garlic powder, black pepper, and any other seasonings that you would like.

Let 2 of your sticks of butter sit out so they are warm and soft.

Preheat your oven to 400

Rinse your chicken under cold water, then take a knife and cut slits into the chicken skin, take the butter and the seasonings and mash them up in a bowl till they are mixed well, now take a scoop of butter (its easier to just use your hands) rub it into the neck of the chicken like your stuffing it, then rub it under the skin using the slits you had cut earlier.


Place it into the oven and cook it for 1 hour and 35 min or until done, or if you have one use a meat thermometer it should read 165 to 170.

Carve and enjoy

Scrap booking Tips

February 6th, 2013

I recently just got into scrap booking and I have found it to be very addictive, for Christmas I had gotten all the beginning items one would need to start. After many many hours I started running out of embellishments or cool things to make the page look finished, so I started to look around for things that I could use. I found many things I had not thought about such as if your like me and save cards that you get, I used the border on one card to frame my sons first picture with Santa or other cool designs or things on the card, I found Christmas color sequins on one card and used them as bulbs for a Christmas tree made out of construction paper. Or if you save magazines sometimes you can find cute little things in there or you can even cut out letters and make words with them. These simple ideas are cheap and easy and not only get the job done they make your page more interesting. Well this is all I have for now hope these tips help and good luck scrap booking.
