Lemon Sage Drumsticks

Today's recipe comes from Celebrate Every Day, a cookbook by Jaime Richardson.

This cookbook is set up in sections geared toward celebrating every day fun with your kids such as Movie Night, French Cafe, Berry Picking Party, Living Room Sleepover and Snow Day. Lemon Sage Drumsticks is in the section called Pumpkin Carving Party.

These were so simple to make, and they were just delicious. I will make them again for sure. Great for a party.
