I woke up this morning thinking it was Tuesday and to my surprise realized that it was Wednesday.  I love when that happens usually because it means the weekend is right around the corner, but in this case it just means that my days are passing too quickly these last two weeks here in Louisiana.  My days are packed full with lists, my work, and seeing as many friends as possible.  With full days like these I have been loving easy dinners that allow me to multi-task!  My roasted Cornish hens and root vegetables is the perfect meal to fix on those busy weeknights where you just don't have the time to babysit the stove!

You may or may not have cooked a Cornish hen before, but if you haven't I'm telling you they are just as easy as a regular chicken and are super tender and delicious!  Cornish hens are a certain breed of chicken and I love them because everyone gets their own bird where you get your white and dark meat all in one!  And even if you aren't usually a dark meat kind of person, the dark meat yes has more fat, but it also holds some serious nutrients that are especially good for women!
