No Brainer Roasted Chicken Thighs

Shannon Vavich
If you have chicken thighs, some everyday seasonings, olive oil and 43 minutes, you can make this dinner with minimal effort. Three minutes to prep, 40 minutes to roast. You can't go wrong!

I’ve been spring cleaning. While I do not ENJOY cleaning and organizing, I like how having clean spaces enables me to do more of the creative work I love to do.

I’m five days into my OPERATION UNASS SPRING 2024 and I really needed to throw dinner together in a fast and easy way. I asked my teens and my husband to start some rice in the rice cooker and bring home a bagged salad – and that’s dinner for tonight.
