Mrs Shelley's Unique Information!

Hhhiiiyyyaaa!!!

Chicken and veg traybake for dinner. A meal with no heavy carbs. No potatoes, no rice, no pasta, no bread. I do these things once in a while. Honestly this cleared our innards out. Just what we needed. I know it is too much information, but a very important factor I need to share. It is a beautiful meal full of fibre and protein. Enjoyable. Look, feel free to add your carbs to it and add gravy too. Who am I to say what you have to do? It would be just as tasty that way too. You could even add some Mexican spice to it too. It is such a versatile dinner.

This dish is a great idea if you have any veg left over that is looking a bit sad and limp. My carrots were limp and I'm not bothered. They roasted perfectly. I don't waste food. It's also great that you basically just chuck everything in a baking dish and that is it. How easy is that? Life needs to be easy these days.

Never forget that I am sometimes lazy and do not buy garlic bulbs or fresh herbs. I buy garlic powder, or granules and dried herbs. It doesn't matter but I don't like wastage and therefore I do buy dried products. You can of course be really good and buy fresh.

I really hope you enjoy this meal and it provides you with a bit of inspiration for your dinners.
