For Dinner at 6pm tonight

This arvo;

Peel and cut potatoes & pumpkin and carrots, put in a big bowl of water.
Wash and cut up your vegies (caulie, broklie) put them in water on the stove

Pre heat your oven to a moderate heat (is it fan forced or gas ) ? 150 is moderate at 4.20 PM

At 4.30 put the chicken in a roasting pan with 2.5 cm's of water in the bottom of it . Look at the post above for herbs etc to add to the chicken

At 5.30, take the roast out of the oven, turn the chicken over, add the potatoes and pumpkin (that you have dried off with paper towel) around the chicken

Put back in the oven, at 5.45 turn on the pot/steamer with the coloured vegies in it on slow, add peas and beans to the water if you like

BY 6pm - it will all be happening, have everything ready to go, I always put my vegies on the plate last, as it will take you a minute ot two to cut up the chicken, or get DH to do that, while you out the vegies on the plate

To make a gravy, to keep it easy for your first roast, get a little mixing jug, put the gravox in, add a stock cube, then add water from the stove top vegies


Yummm enjoy

I ccould give your harder stuff, but keep your first roast easy
