Tutorial - Sundried Tomato Stuffed Chicken

A great weeknight recipe for baked chicken

Tutorial at From My Carolina Home Blog

"My husband would rather not eat chicken at home since he orders it out a lot. But, sometimes I want chicken, so I had to come up with a new recipe for him to enjoy.  He loves sundried tomatoes, so I decided to combine these two flavors into one dish.  Here is a stuffed chicken recipe.  The chicken breasts available these days are really too big for one person. Even though I look for smaller ones, this time they were just huge. So, one would do for both of us. I like the bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts as they are more flavorful and keep their moisture better than boneless and skinless".... Read more

Tutorial - Make Lighter Coconut Oil Kettle Corn

Make a lower calorie coconut oil kettle corn

Tutorial at Happier than a Pig in Mud Blog

"I do like to cut back on calories if possible and one great example is this Lighter Coconut Oil Kettle Corn. In my version the popcorn doesn't get completely covered by a hard candy coating, but it's just sweet enough to be a nice treat without being overly naughty. There's a wonderful hint of coconut flavor without it being overpowering and it's salted to taste, I like pink Himalayan salt. This is starting to sound like a fairly healthy snack".... Read more

Tutorial at Happier than a Pig in Mud Blog

"I had two large apples that were truly past their prime and, in the interest of trying something new, decided to make a Micro Batch of Apple Butter in my itty-bitty two quart Crock Pot.
