Thirteen types of food I love (I am less creative today and I am writing this before dinner)
1. Enchiladas
2. Chocolate/Peanut butter ice cream
3. Toast with Peanut butter, honey and sliced bananas
4. General Tso chicken
5. Thanksgiving dinner (and everything that goes with it)
6. Sticky chicken (by request recipe down below)
7. Lobster and steak
8. Beef burritos, enchiladas style
9. Rocky Road ice cream
10. Velvet Creamy Chicken Soup
11. Monkey Bread
12. Coffee (ok that is not a food) how about Cinnamon/Raisin bagel & coffee (there!)
13. ANYTHING I DON’T HAVE TO COOK, and is delivered to me by three wonderful boys (usually only a yearly occurrence that happens to land on Mother’s Day, but hey I will take it!).

Sticky Chicken
This is the best and easiest roast chicken you’ve ever tasted. It seems a little strange, but it’s the only one my family will eat, and company loves it, too!
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon paprika
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon white pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 whole roasting chicken, about 3 pounds
1 cup chopped onions Combine all spices (first 8 ingredients) in small bowl.
Rinse chicken, inside and out. Drain well.
Rub spice mixture over skin and the inside of chicken.
Place in a resealable plastic bag, seal and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to roast, stuff cavity with onions.
Place chicken breast side down in roasting pan.
Roast uncovered at 250ºF (that’s not a typo…it’s really 250º! Anything over 225º is safe as long as the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 155º, which this does, and more) for about 5 hours. Baste occasionally with pan juices or until pan juices start to caramelize on bottom of pan and chicken is golden brown.

I soooo totally agree with #13 hehe - OK I like to cook but there are days that I just don’t want to think about it.
Great post - I played too

Love most of those foods too but that chicken recipe, now that really sounds delicious. If you’re cooking two chickens, would you change the temp or time at all. You’re the expert, what do you think?
Susanne 08.31.06 at 11:03 am
Funny how you can think of all the great foods when you’re right before dinner! I’m gonna try your recipe this week. Sounds wonderful!

Good gracious, all of that sounds good. I’m not sure exactly how you do the chicken soup, but even the name sounds good. I can definitely vouch for the rest, yummy!
Great T13, hope you have a wonderful day

My husband loves #4 too.
Barb 08.31.06 at 8:28 pm
Another fattening post! Your list is wonderful and except for the chocolate (I know, I know) is wonderful. And I am so printing out this recipe. It sounds so good and it isn’t that hard. So thank you thank you for including it.
I really do use the recipes I find out here. This week I told my husband every single thing I’m making for the next two weeks is a new recipe I found in bloggityville and want to try. Wait til I make this one for him!
And I’ll come back after I’ve made it and let you know what he thought.
