My entry for this week's
Dark Days of Winter Challenge is a basic meal for us: roast chicken with roasted vegetables, in this case roasted root vegetables. The chicken is from
Hubbell Farm. The vegetables were all bought at this past Saturday's farmer's market at
The Village at Grand Traverse Commons. This batch included turnips, beets, onions, rutabaga and celeriac. They came from
Birch Point Farm,
Providence Farm, and
Blackbird Gardens. I seasoned the chicken with dried sage from my garden and rubbed it with molasses (not local but organic) and some more of my saved turkey schmaltz from Thanksgiving. The vegetables were also roasted with sage, salt and turkey schmaltz.
Posts will be recapped starting this Sunday at
Not Dabbling In Normal though it won't include my group (the Midwest) until the 18th. Until then you can visit our Midwest coordinator at
Unearthing this Life or check out the blogs of the participants. Here is a list of the other Midwest Dark Days bloggers:
