Sew God's Grace

I believe that, for most recipes, "bacon makes it better"!  So, when I saw a recipe for bacon-wrapped chicken, I knew I had to try it. Since my discovery of the recipe, I have made this dish often.  It is always a hit at potlucks.  Just place in the crockpot on the keep warm setting.  To serve as an appetizer, you can cut the chicken into three strips and put a toothpick into each piece.   Here is the recipe (adapted from this recipe ) Bacon-wrapped Chicken 2.5 pounds chicken breasts (about 4 ounces each chicken breast.  I use a box of Schwan's chicken breasts) 20 thin slices bacon (thick does not work as well to wrap around the chicken strips) 1/4 cup honey 1 Tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1 Tablespoon brown mustard Fresh ground black pepper Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.  Cut each piece of chicken lenghtwise into two strips.  Wrap each piece of chicken with a  strip of bacon.  (Tip: I do this with the chicken still part...

     Wow, it's been a long time since my last post!  But, with baby number six on the way, I have had to cut out some activities, which has included blogging for the most part.  I'm realizing, too, with another one coming that I may not be posting as much to my blog.  But, when I have the chance, I hope to sneak one in here and there.      One of my friends has been working on eating a mostly Paleo diet, which I have been eating for almost three years (minus a couple of months at the beginning of this pregnancy!)  We had been talking about getting together for a Paleo meal, and we made it happen this week. It was a lot of fun, and really delicious, too!  For an appetizer, I made these delicious Bacon-wrapped Sweet Potato Bites.  You can find the recipe here .  I really love the Stir It Up site and have made several of her recipes including one of my favorite Paleo pancake recipes.        I softe...
