3 pounds baby red potatoes, cut in half 1/2 cup olive oil 1/2 cup minced garlic 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning 8 ounces bacon 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar 1/2 cup minced garlic salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup olive oil 1 large red onion, cut into 1/2-inch dice 1 bunch parsley, minced 5 hard boiled eggs, roughly chopped Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Toss halved potatoes with 1/2 cup olive oil, 1/2 cup garlic, and seafood seasoning. Place in a single layer onto baking sheets and bake in preheated oven until tender and golden brown, 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium heat until evenly browned and crispy. Pour off bacon grease and reserve. Allow the bacon slices to cool, then crumble and set aside. Whisk together balsamic vinegar, garlic, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Pour in the oil in a slow, steady stream while whisking vigorously to make a vinaigrette. Toss the roasted potatoes together with the vinaigrette and reserved bacon grease. Fold in red onion, parsley, and eggs. Allow to stand at room temperature 20 minutes before serving.

6 Callisons Holiday Herb Seasoned Skewers1 (4 pound) roasting chicken, preferably organic or free-range1 tablespoon melted butter or olive oil1 teaspoon kosher salt1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepperCooking sprayRemove the neck and any giblets from the chicken cavity. Rinse the chicken with cold water inside and out, and pat dry. Insert 2 skewers, lengthwise, through each side of the breast and then 2 through the legs and thighs. With the last 2 skewers, insert them into each side of the breast, crisscrossing the first skewers. Let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or refrigerated overnight. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. To roast the chicken, spray a roasting rack with cooking spray. Place the chicken on the prepared roasting rack and set on a rimmed baking sheet. Brush the chicken all over with the butter or olive oil and then sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Roast the chicken for about 45 minutes, or until the inner, thickest part of the thigh registers 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer inserted in the back side of thigh by the body. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to settle before carving. Remove skewers before carving or serving. The chicken is beautiful presented on a platter and carved at the table. Amount Per Serving  Calories: 596 | Total Fat: 37.1g | Cholesterol: 202mg Powered by ESHA Nutrient Database

Reviewed on Feb. 10, 2007 by BAYSIDE    EXCELLENT! I would have never in my entire life thought that I'd EVER eat a brussels sprout. They're cute to look at, but OMG the stench of cruciferous veggies cooking just makes me gag. Plus I'm not into "mushy middles" (I think reviewers called it "creamy"). But I did want to try this recipe due to all the rave reviews. And now, I want to THANK the person who posted this fabulous recipe! My husband and I LOVED every morsel! I did do 2 changes: 1- we halved them, so that we wouldn't get "mushy middles", lol. And, I read somewhere that if you remove the "choke" that's at the bottom of the sprout (inside), the brussel sprout will not be bitter. Voila! it worked! These yummmy, salty, nutty, crunchy, carmelized brussel sprouts were SO good. No bitterness whatsoever! The super dark carmelized parts of the roasted bsprouts were the best! LUVVVVV this recipe, and will make over and over again! HUGE thanks!! Was this review helpful? [ YES ]
