![Roasted carrots with fennel, red onions, and mint from Bon Appetit
This dish was surprising. At first, it lacked yumminess even though it had a whole mess of flavor. I don't know how exactly to describe it. As I was tasting and adjusting s+p and vinegar before plating I was super disappointed. How could something with so many great flavors not work? But then when the mint went on at the end the whole dish transformed. I don't normally think of mint as being able to rescue a dish but here it seemed to make all the flavors work in harmony.
And, in all fairness to BA, we substituted pine nuts for sunflower seeds.
Notes: use a bunch of mint.
Post #whole30, I'd do this again but add some maple syrup to the tossed carrots before baking them.

This chicken recipe comes from Cook's Illustrated and we've been making it for years. First, you make a sort of paste from mint, garlic, cumin, paprika, oregano, lime zest + juice, and then you slather it all over the chicken the night before. We baked the bird on a rack seated in a rimmed cookie sheet. (The original recipe calls for a vertical roaster which we don't have.) 325° for 45 min, then 500° for about 10 - 20 min to crisp up the skin. Holy cannoli. The cookie sheet ends up collecting the deeply colored and instantly flavorful drippings which we then turned into a sort of gravy.
The sweet potatoes we cubed, boiled, drained, and smashed up with coconut cream, olive oil, s+p.
Finally, for the first time ever!, we made mayo! In the Vitamix! One egg, lemon juice, granulated garlic, s+p. So tasty! I couldn't get how easy it was! (Especially because my first attempts to make mayo happened years ago and I don't even like thinking about the wasted ingredients.)
We really don't "diet" around here. But after a year of, well, 2020... We thought we'd challenge ourselves to really think about the food we're making, when we're eating meals vs grazing all day, and how much wine, sugar, bread, and pastapastapasta we're having day after day.
We made a few adjustments to the chicken recipe for the #whole30. It called for sugar in the paste but we added in the same amount of coconut aminos. While not at all the same, there's a sort of sweetness to them. It worked out!

It started off as that kind of casual, passing thought of, “you know what would go nicely with this cup of coffee? A slice of that chocolate loaf cake.” But that thought did not stop there. It popped into my head before my eyes opened last week and I knew I needed to do something about it. #dreamsdocometrue
