Deep-Dish Chocolate Chip Cookie for One & Healthy Food For Living. By Lauren Zembron, on July 20th, 2012 I know, I know… it seems as though I’ve been posting sweet recipe after sweet recipe (with a little something cheesy thrown in); but you see, after what seemed like a long time during which sweets were unappealing during my first trimester, (what can I say, pregnancy does some strange things to your body!)

, they’re apparently back with a vengeance on my appetite’s menu. Sooooo if you’re a sweet freak like me, all I can say about my recent recipe post pattern is: you’re welcome. And if you’re not? Now let’s get to this deep-dish cookie. Jenny from Picky Palate recently posted a recipe for a microwavable chocolate chip cookie made in a ramekin that looked so unbelievably delicious I had to make my own (slightly healthier) version. I cut out half of the sugar, subbed in whole wheat pastry flour, and used grain-sweetened chocolate chips (which have less sugar than semi-sweet chips). Now I’m under no delusion that even my version is healthy. Most gawked all-time. - StumbleUpon. Creamy Basil-Chicken Pasta Recipe from Pillsbury.com. 3xSgR.jpg (476×9300) TasteSpotting.

Food Pyramid. Flat-Roasted Chicken. Not too long ago, I found myself looking up the rules on roasting chicken for no good reason. Sadly, I didn’t get very far in my research because I quickly stumbled upon an intriguing link to a recipe on Martha Stewart’s website, and soon I was totally sidetracked. The recipe in question came from Lucinda Scala Quinn, and it called for flat roasted chicken. This is somewhat different from traditional roasted chicken in that the chicken’s backbone is removed and the body flattened, the idea being that this will decrease cooking time significantly. Well, thanks to some alluring photos and glowing reviews, I became rather fascinated with this flat roasted chicken business. I went out, bought a whole chicken, and roasted it for dinner. The results were fantastic. I’ve since made this dish three times, and each time has been just as good as the last.

After the jump, check out this simple yet oh-so-gratifying chicken experience… Things start off with a whole chicken. Back to the chicken.
