Changes are coming around the mountain here at Karen’s Killer Book Bench and Killer Fixin’s blog.

As subscribers, you all know that I took my first real vacation in over 10 years at the beginning of July. I went offline for an entire week. LONGEST week in my life but I did it…well, I did slip once mid-week. But shhh, we won’t tell my husband! 🙂

I discovered a couple of things with this exercise. First, I can step away from the internet for longer than five minutes without completely losing my mind and, second, I have to trim my internet presence for the sake of my career and my health.

Karen’s Killer Fixin’s: BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN

13 Comments

CookingIt’s time for Karen’s Killer Fixin’s! Over the years, I’ve filled two 4-inch, 3-ring binders with my own creations as well as recipes my family and friends were willing to share with me. I simply love to cook and want to share that love with my readers. So every Friday, I share one recipe I think you and your family might enjoy. It might be a main course recipe. A cookie or baked item. Candy. Salads. Whatever strikes my eye and fancy…which today is BACON WRAPPED CHICKEN!

Everyone who knows me knows I LOVE BACON!! Anything with bacon added is great in my book. 🙂 This wrapped chicken is savory and flavorful and surrounded in BACON. Did I mention how much I love bacon? Snicker. I do like the versatility of this recipe because, with just a tweak or two of cheese or vegetables, the flavor palate changes. With my new challenge of making meals that are Weight Watchers friendly, this is a good one…with the exception of the cheese. Zero points for chicken, veggies, and bacon. Win-win!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

I love this recipe for blueberry muffins because it’s so easy to make. The muffins are moist and delicious, and bursting with fresh blueberry flavor. I love them best hot and slathered with butter but they’re good cold, too, a great muffin for on-the-go.

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!

I love chicken because it’s so versatile. One or two recipe changes and it tastes completely different. Add bacon–mmmmm, BACON–where was I? Oh, yeah! A new chicken recipe for you. It sounds like this is a bit of work to put together but it really isn’t. Even if it was, it would be sooooo worth the effort. These flavors mesh so beautifully. The family will love it!

I hope you enjoy today’s Killer Fixin’s. Happy eating!
