Herb potatoes and lemon-thymian chicken with fruity salad


I love different kind of herbs and try to use them often when preparing food. This time I decided to make herb potatoes and lemon-thymian chicken with fruity salad. This is easy to prepare and so tasty. This meal got high scores from my own food critics :).


Herb potatoes

salt
black pepper

Herb oil for the potatoes

1/2 dl olive oil
2-3 garlic gloves chopped
2 tbsp leaf parsley chopped
2 tbsp basilikum chopped
2 tbsp thymian chopped
salt
black pepper

Cook the potatoes until soft. Place them in a roasting pan and season them with oil, salt and pepper. Preheat the own to 200 C degrees.

Mix the herb oil ingredients together and drizzle the mixture over the own-baked potatoes just before serving.

Morning swim


I woke up at 7 am this morning and felt immediately that today was the day to start the swimming season. I wore my bikinis and went outside... whoops - it was snowing and only one plus degree. Well, at this point I couldn't back up any more - of course not. So, I jumped into the pool. Wow, what a nice wake up on Saturday morning :).
