Crispy chicken stuffed with toasted pumpkin seed bacon jam

Pumpkin Everythang!\

Back at it again with another pumpkin month. I can’t even lie to you it gets harder and harder every year to come up with 9 new pumpkin recipes. Its year four, and I have decided that I have to get into using all the parts of the pumpkin, skin, flesh and seeds in order to make it through. So, without further gibberish on the struggles I deal with in recipe creation let’s get to what your here for this bombtastic recipe.

Pomegranate and ginger Roasted chicken

"Christmas is coming"

Don’t you guys love how I am expanding my chicken database on the blog. Not too long ago I was looking real shabby when it came on to chicken and now I’m really starting to build up a mass of recipes, Yay me. In any case this chicken dish is quite flavorful, it could be the browned butter, it could be the pomegranates, the ginger, who knows. Everything came together quite nicely.

Cilantro Roasted Chicken

Fowl 

I am a huge fan of cilantro, if you are not a cilantro fan, steer clear of this recipe. It has cilantro in the marinade, under the skin, in the sauce and garnished on top. It’s full of herb goodness and I love it! One of the best roasted chickens I have made in a while, easy and quick no muss no fuss.

Oxtail stew

"Christmas is coming"

 What’s more delicious than the tail of a cow seasoned, browned and stewed?  Its truly a staple in Jamaica, not seasonal like sorrel and fruit cake, but consumed all year round, especially for Sunday and Christmas dinner.  Any good Jamaican restaurant (US or local) will serve oxtail as a lunch item, and if the restaurant cooks it especially well, please believe any lunch breaks falling after 1:30pm have a slim chance of getting any.  If you missed it during the week, and you have a loving cook at home, you can surely keep your hopes up for Sunday dinner. If your Sunday dinners consist of cereal or KFC then I’m sorry but you will have to wait till Christmas dinner to feast on the succulent bones.

Simply Roasted

 Do you ever notice how pharmacies, department stores and the retail industry in general is always a month or two ahead of all holidays? In September you will see Halloween and thanksgiving costumes and decorations anticipating the holiday. From October and November Christmas decorations are already stocked on shelves.  January can barely breathe before pink roses, chocolates and everything love is splattered all around us constantly reminding us that Valentine ’s Day is fast approaching.

Well it is in this same fashion that my blog will overlook the current holiday and prepare the masses for the future holiday. So even though it’s currently thanksgiving time Greedy girl is here to remind everyone that "Christmas is coming".
