    My Mom and I decided to make some chicken and dumplings. Your recipe stuck out to us as we were surfing the web. We followed your instructions exactly. The outcome was DELICIOUS! I had a newly purchased box of Bisquick flour which helps, I think. In addition, we grow fresh herbs and used our garden parsley!I really enjoyed going through your blog and I am looking forward to trying more of your recipes. I've been gluten free for health reasons for over 7 years. It has made a huge difference in my life. I had lots of hip pain and bloating and YUCK... A few months after I started really working at it (when I was done crying about pizza crust) I felt an amazing difference.

  2. I have stuffed chicken breast before, with feta cheese and arugula or something like this. And my Family was indeed impressed ๐Ÿ˜‰ The Caprese combo sounds pretty amazing.

    I love how you prep food. It is just one of the things I have learned from you. This is going on next weekโ€™s menu. I prefer the reds and orange for stuffing, and for some reason I like the horizontal cut. I think it is because of the proportion of filling to pepper. Anyway, thanks again. I really appreciate you.
