SueC, thanks so much for the recipes. Really
appreciate your help.

Those all look great, and I'll no doubt try them I have a really easy hen recipe, if you're short on time and ingredients!

Just stuff each hen with either a lemon or an orange (poked with a fork, so the juices can start coming out). Salt and pepper the outside. Bake. Baste as it's cooking. No fat added, and yummy!!

Had cornish game hen tonight actually....I made it with onion quartered, one quarter of which goes in the cavity, the remaining gets sprinkled throughout the pan, a bit of minced garlic, aoubt 3 tbsp of olive oil, and scampi mis from wildweeds (local herb shop)
I rubbed the hens down with the oil, hooked up the onions, sprinkled the garlic about, and sprinkled the herb mix over the top. Baked them on 400 for an hour and a half, and they were perfect.
One hen was aproximately 5 oz. of meat, although I only eat white meat, so my mother in law and I split one hen.
