Double pork stuffed chicken

 
 
I'm always trying to find new ways to eat chicken. Since we have been doing a lot of paleo dishes, I decided to try this one and it was amazing.
 
This recipe was very simple and easy to make, so it made preparing dinner very easy with my two little rugrats running around.
 
Nothing like an easy and quick meal to cook for the family. Jack and kids both loved it. My little garbage disposal, Brooklyn ate 1/4 chicken breast and picky Nicholas ate 1/4 chicken breast with ketchup of course. It's so hard for me to get him to eat meat. If he has ketchup though, he'll eat just about anything from chicken to fish. 

This dinner was amazing last night for dinner and taste just as good today when I ate it for lunch.
 
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts
3/4 pound ground pork
5 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup chopped parsley
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon celery salt
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1 package of bacon

    Instructions:
    Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
    In a skillet over medium heat, sauté pork, garlic, parsley and half of spices for 6-8 minutes until pork is just cooked, but still slightly pink.
    Use a knife to butterfly the breasts (slice lengthwise through one side of the breast creating a pocket).
    Open up the breasts and pound briefly with a meat tenderizer to thin the meat out a bit.
    Sprinkle the remaining spices evenly over the inside of the breasts.
    Spoon equal amounts of ground pork on to one side of each breast, then fold the other side over the top.
    Wrap bacon slices snugly around each breast, covering entirely.
    Bake uncovered for 25 minutes, then put under the broiler for 3 minutes to crisp up bacon.
    Can be eaten warm or cold. I decided to serve this with mashed sweet potatoes and blanched broccoli.

Spaghetti Squash with Southwest Chicken

Image
After years of cooking and sharing recipes, I have finally put together my blog site. Its been a long journey in cooking for friends and family. It wasn't until recently that I was given the confidence to actually create a blog and share everything I have learned and am still learning in the kitchen. I recently was given the opportunity to air on live tv with Good Day Sacramento.  It was quite the experience. Friends and family told me I was a natural on tv, but what they didn't see on tv was how extremely nervous me. My mom and my husband were there calming me down.  After each take, I would let out a big "Whew" and ask how I did.  Apparently my nervousness did not show when the camera was rolling. Thank Goodness! I would like to share the recipe of my dish on Good Day Sacramento with all of you. Spaghetti Squash is that ingredient that we all seem to forget about. It's amazing and very good for you to eat. I think when people look at a spaghetti squash, ...

Mommy's Yummy Lunch Salad

Image
I don't always have time to make a gourmet lunch for myself, but sometimes my kiddos nap around the perfect time and I am able to whip something yummy up. I try and eat healthy during the day because with all this baking I do, I could definitely just give into to the temptation to eat an entire batch of sweets, but luckily I have good self control and don't eat it all. Today I wanted to make myself a salad, but I wanted a little carbs too and luckily I had some quinoa I had cooked already and I could just throw it in the salad. It was a yummy salad and hit the spot. Ingredients: 4 assorted baby bell peppers, sliced 1 yellow onion, sliced 4 mushrooms, sliced 1 tbs olive oil 2 tbs balsamic vinegar 2 morning star vegan burger patties, cooked and cut into cubes (I like the black bean burgers best) 1 slice swiss cheese, cubed 1 head romaine lettuce, chopped 1/4 cup cooked quinoa Directions: In a large skillet, warm olive oil over medium heat. Add onions, mushrooms,...

Our Sourdough Adventure - The Skinny on a Starter.

Image
 To say I love bread would be an understatement. This year we decided on more than one occasion to take up the joy of undertaking the art of sourdough. Earlier in the year, my little starter went rancid because I forgot to feed my baby, but this time around, I am committed and I plan on keeping my starter for years.  This time around with my, or should I say our Sourdough Starter, because I wanted to teach my kids some life skills and what better way to teach them these amazing life skills, then with the art of making this amazing sourdough starter. It's fun too!!!! Nicholas was totally into it! He wanted to be the "SOURDOUGH MASTER" as he called it.  So, I let him join me in the kitchen for this fun little adventure. And it's been quite the adventure of feeding our little Sourdough Baby/babies... I'll get into the babies later... Just don't do what I did and go overboard. I had I think about 6 starters at once going. I didn't think it through. LOL I have ...
