Paleo Sun-dried Tomato & Artichoke Stuffed Chicken

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.

A year ago if you told me I would be curing my own bacon and fermenting my own kombucha, I would have laughed so hard. First I didn’t even eat bacon at that time. Second I had just learned of my new love kombucha and had no clue I could make it myself.

After reading lots of blogs and articles about the benefits of gelatin, I decided to get on the bandwagon. As a longtime sufferer of knee pain, I’d love to homeopathically help my knee rather than relying on pain medication. There are tons of benefits to consuming grass-fed gelatin.
