My family loves roasted chicken. Not only is it a healthy and flavorful meal, but most of the time it's an inexpensive option for meals as it often feeds my family more than once. The best thing about roasting a whole chicken is that it's a blank slate for many flavor combinations -- you can create lots of variations. One of our favorite roasted chicken recipes is a simple one using dried Herbs de Provence, a blend of aromatic herbs from the southern hills of France that include a mixture of bay leaf, thyme, rosemary, chervil, oregano, tarragon, marjoram, and lavender.
My kids love Italian sausage, and when baked alongside a whole cut-up chicken, it infuses it with its wonderful flavor. The chicken is tender and succulent, and the garlic cloves, tossed into the roasting pan still in their skins, become soft and sweet and are perfect for spreading on toasted French bread or stirring into mashed potatoes.

This strawberry, apple and pear spinach salad is easy, light and delicious. I've created a tasty mild strawberry poppyseed vinaigrette to go with it. This salad is loved by every palate; young and old. If you like a stronger vinaigrette, feel free to add more red wine vinegar. I've also tested this with cider vinegar and it worked well; although I liked the red wine vinegar a teensy bit more.
