As someone who loves to cook, there’s nothing quite like the joy of creating a dish that brings smiles to my family’s faces. The sizzle of garlic in a hot pan, the aroma of fresh herbs being chopped and the sizzle of hens roasting in the oven – these are the moments that truly fuel my passion for cooking.

I made these Oven Roasted Lemon Garlic & Parmesan Cornish Hens a few weeks ago for Sunday’s dinner and my heart smiled after seeing my kids clean their plates and ask for seconds. They also showered me with compliments that let me know this dish was a hit. The combination of tangy lemon, savory garlic and rich parmesan creates a depth of flavor that is simply irresistible.
