Roasted Chicken with Root Vegetables

We had a wonderful Christmas with the hubby's son and daughter-in-law. The meal was traditional (menu posted in another blog). I had also purchased ingredients for many things on the Farmer's Almanac Holiday Recipes, so I've decided to go ahead and make them for our regular family meals for the next few weeks. This first one is pretty standard, although yellow beets and turnips aren't usually on my grocery list...not yet anyway. I am however learning what vegetables we should be growing in our garden. I also used my electric roaster to save energy. As we try to eat healthier, we lean towards a farmer's diet--minus the biscuits and gravy ;)
