Recipe - Horseradish Chicken

-
Ok, Ok, today was "supposed" to be Cornish Hens - but they weren't on sale, and chickens were $3 each (for a whole frying chicken) so I bought 2 (1 for tomorrow's dinner). One chicken will be rubbed with McCormicks wet rub - the kids LOVE this stuff - and it's so good on chicken parts out on the grill, today we're going to try it on a baked whole chicken. The other chicken is being done for daddy - who LOVES his horseradish. I ran this through Master Cook - works up to be about 4 pts per serving (if you get 6 servings out of a chicken, and if you take the skin off). If you only get 4 servings out of your chicken, the points go up to 5.65 - guess I'll go check the cupboards to see what we'll serve with this.

HORSERADISH ENCRUSTED WHOLE ROASTED CHICKEN
1 Whole chicken
3 Oz. Horseradish, prepared and strained
1 Oz. Breadcrumbs,
Italian2 Tbsp. Parsley, minced, fresh
1 Tbsp. Brown sugar
1/2 Oz. Honey

In a mixing bowl, combine horseradish, breadcrumbs, parsley, brown sugar and honey. Take the horseradish mixture and rub it on the outside of the chicken. Take any remaining horseradish mixture and place it in the cavity of the chicken. Cover the chicken loosely with a piece of aluminum foil. Place the chicken in a preheated 350ºF oven, for 45 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and let the crust brown. Remove from the oven and let rest before serving.

Design Wall Monday

I am so happy to have something to share this week.  About a month ago, I received some inspiration from another blogger on Design Wall Monday - hosted by Judy at Patchwork Times .  I immediately fell in love with the star quilt that Kate from Life in Pieces   had put together using the pattern from Country Junktion .  I knew immediately that I could use it as the center of a quilt, and finally use those garden maze blocks that were sitting in my UFO pile.  What do you think ? This is the quilt made from the BOM pattern alone This is that same quilt surrounded by my garden maze blocks I started sewing the garden maze blocks together to see how big of a border I will be needing around the star blocks.  Now to figure out if I should border around each block, or just around the outside of the stars - what do you think?

Design Floor Monday

Thanks to Judy at Patchwork Times , I'm encouraged each week to have something new to show on my design floor (most people have a design wall ..... one day when I grow up, I'll have one too !) This week I'm taking out some UFO's from 2 years ago - I love these blocks, I made plenty of them for a wall hanging, but then I just kept making more and more, until I knew I wanted a bed size quilt.  I was going to lay them out in a 5 by 7 blocks, but since these are 9" blocks - and since the blocks I want to make as a border block are 13" blocks - I thought maybe it'd be easier to do 6 by 6 - so I need to make one more of these.  Gotta figure out how to get this block into my EQ program, because this is the block I want to use as a border I was going to make a bunch of these, all with blue star middles, but with different batiks on the outside color.  Of course, I could do THESE blocks for the main part of the quilt and use the others as a border ....  eit
