My life feels a little boring right now. Time seems to slow down in the winter. The monotonous days of cold and snow drag with no end. Grey skies block out the sun giving the landscape a dreary outlook. I miss LA winter. It isn’t even a real winter, which is why I love it the best. I’m in the market for a new city to call home. Any suggestions? I only have a few requirements: mild winter, all-year farmers market, good coffee shops, Trader Joes and lots of restaurant options. Ok the farmers markets aren’t a deal breaker, but I would love it.
This sun-dried tomato and artichoke stuffed chicken makes a great dinner if you are trying to impress. Hint hint nudge nudge. Cut the recipe in half for a dinner for two. Or leave the recipe as is and throw a “Galentines Day” party. Yes I stole that name from a show I don’t even watch. Speaking of TV shows, I finally caught up on New Girl. Any Adam Brody fans in the house? OMG. He never gets old. Literally and figuratively. I was always team Seth Cohen in high school. I hope someone gets that reference.

I used to live in LA, but I have heard such great things about San Diego!
Great recipe. I’ve made a bacon-wrapped chicken dish in the slow cooker, which leaves the chicken way tender AND the whole house smelling like bacon (big bonus). This could probably be done the same way, with the prosciutto, no?
I think prosciutto would hold up in the slow cooker. Now I really want to try that method!
