These events are always a favorite for my hubby and myself. We haven’t taken the boys yet, but I am sure they will love it as much as we do once we decide they are old enough to go. So, I decided to have our own Renn Faire Fare one night! This is a super easy dinner to make for any night and don’t forget the spiced wine for the adults too!

Ingredients:

  • Chicken
  • Baby Potatoes
  • Spice Mix
    • Smoked Paprika
    • Garlic
    • Onion Powder
    • Salt
    • Pepper
  • Olive Oil

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Make a spice mix from the smoked paprika, garlic, onion powder, salt and pepper.
  • Rub the chicken with olive oil and the spice mix.
  • Put the potatoes on a pan and drizzle with olive oil.
  • Place the chicken on the pan.
  • Bake for an hour or until the internal temp of the thickest part of the breasts are at least 165 degrees.
  • Remove from oven and let items rest for 10 minutes.
  • Serve & Enjoy!

Notes:

  • I love a good one pan meal and this is no exception.
  • You can use whatever spices you want to create your spice mix.

Now that we have everything plated up, I let the boys in on a little secret…we are going to eat with our hands! They totally flipped and I may have just become the coolest mom ever!! As a reminder…make sure you have LOTS of napkins ready to go! You are going to need them!

Next up, I made a delicious spiced wine for the adults. This is super easy to make and a tasty adult beverage to SPICE the fun fare up a bit!

Ingredients:

  • Red Wine
  • 2 Cups Pomegranate Juice
  • Orange Zest
  • Sliced Oranges
  • Knob of Ginger
  • Cinnamon Stick
  • 1/4 – 1/2 Cup Sugar (optional to taste)

Directions:

  • In a large stockpot, combine all ingredients.
  • Simmer the spiced wine for 30+ mins.
  • Pour into your favorite wine glass.
  • Enjoy!

Notes:

  • You can let this simmer all day as it smells amazing!!!
  • I LOVE my Rachel Ray stockpot and I know you will too!

We had a blast eating dinner with our hands and laughing our heads off while going through a TON of napkins. Maybe next time we’ll add some good old fashioned jousting after dinner. So, to all me Lords and me Ladies, we hope you will all enjoy this savory fare with your family and friends!
