Most of us are looking for ways to save money. A good way to save money and keep within a budget is to cut back on the grocery bill.
I am going to post a frugal meal recipe every Friday. These recipes are some that I cook often, have tried, or will be trying in the future.

Lemon-Pepper Roasted Chicken
From Good Housekeeping
INGREDIENTS
1 whole 31/2 lb Chicken
1tablespoon olive oil or butter
2 teaspoons grated lemon peel
¼ teaspoon of pepper
¾ teaspoon of salt
½ cup water
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Remove bag with giblets and neck from chicken cavity; discard or reserve for another use.
2. In cup, mix olive oil, lemon peel, and pepper. With fingertips, gently separate skin from meat on chicken breast. Rub lemon-pepper mixture on meat under skin. Tie legs together with string. Rub chicken all over with salt.
3. Place chicken, breast side up, on rack in small roasting pan (13" by 9"). Pour 1/4 cup water into roasting pan. Roast chicken 1 hour or until juices run clear when thickest part of thigh is pierced with tip of knife and temperature on meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of thigh reaches 175 degrees F.
4. When chicken is done, lift from roasting pan and tilt slightly to allow juices inside cavity to run into pan. Place chicken on platter. Let chicken stand 10 minutes to allow juices to set for easier carving.
5. Remove rack from roasting pan. Skim and discard fat from pan juices. Add remaining 1/4 cup water to pan juices; cook 1 minute on medium, stirring constantly. Serve chicken with pan juices.

This is a great idea for a Friday post. I may have to try this one. I am not much of a cook to be honest but it seems simple enough and I do love Roasted Chicken.
On and unrelated note, I have been terrible about checking in and commenting and reading. I hope you are feeling well.
Thank you for thinking about me Chris, I am doing very well. I am not much of a cook either! Any recipes that I post will be super easy because that is the way I cook. :)
