Organic & Whole Living: Recipe for Roasted Sage Chicken & Veggies

With temperatures dropping around here roasted dinners are often a main stay during the winter months for us. I absolutely love this one pan dish (or two depending on the size of your family). It is one that I've taught my boys recently so that when they're out on their own, they'll know how to cook and eat healthy meals, even if they are on a budget. 

 

What You'll Need: 

Organic Chicken Drumsticks  5-10 depending on how many people you're feeding. We often go for the drumsticks in the organic isle since they're the least expensive. 

3-4 Carrots cut into chunks

1-2 White or Purple Onions (purple is my favorite, but we were out of them this time) 

Small Yukon Gold Potatoes, cut in wedges 

4-5 Cloves of garlic

Handful of fresh sage chopped

Olive Oil

Salt & Pepper to taste

I  randomly place the chicken drumsticks on the pregreased sheet pan. 

Then I fill in the sides with all of the veggies, garlic and sage. 

Drizzle with olive oil, salt & pepper. 

 

Bake at 375 for an hour (or until juices run clear and the chicken is done), turn up the heat to 400 for the last 15 minutes of cooking to crisp up veggies and chicken. If you're using two pans you'll want to rotate them half way during the cooking time. 

Pair with a fresh salad and you have a perfect meal.

I love the carmalized sage, garlic and onion bits, they are my favorite! 

What's on your Autumn dinner table?

Handmade Crush: Assemblage Art My Little Love Box

Today's cursh is this art piece from My Little Love Box. My sister just moved to a new apartment, and they have something similar to this but on a huge wall in their lobby. I think this scaled down size would look awesome in a vintage modern home.

House & Home: Vintage Style Pillows

I feature pillows here a lot on Vintage Indie. Mostly, because pillows are something that are widely created with vintage fabrics. I believe warmth and comfort are an important asset to your home and what's more comfortable than the worn look of vintage fabrics in a plush pillow?
