Chicken Marinara

Good afternoon! I just thought I would share a recipe today...in fact, this is one of my husband's favorite recipes. He has loving titled it "the red stuff" but the actual recipe name is Chicken Marinara with Vegetables. This is an easy and versatile recipe that I cook in my crock pot. We eat this as a stew or over pasta with a tossed salad.

I would love to hear your opinions on it!

Picking Up Where I Left Off

Hello there! It's been a while since I've posted, but I'm back-and hopefully better! It's been a frustrating this past month with my diet. My current doctor (who I used to love) told me that gluten has no effect on my autoimmune diseases and basically made me feel stupid for talking to him about it. I know that I am NOT a doctor, but I know my body. I also know that when I eat gluten I have health issues. So, I've decided that I don't care what the doctor thinks! So hears to living a gluten-free life!! Cheers :) By the way, I have some really great recipes coming soon!
