As a foodie with allergy restrictions, Kirstin was driven to open her own restaurant when it was entirely too difficult for her to eat out and feel safe. Her fascination with how the brain and the body work was the catalyst to learning everything she could on true nutrition and how food impacts the body, mind, and spirit. After discovering she was allergic to wheat and had an aversion to dairy, she began making changes to her diet and her approach to food.
This dish, easy and comforting, is the very definition of basic comfort food.

Remove from the oven and let sit for about 10 minutes before serving.
The recipe sounds great but what really caught my eye about the heading is the Raspberry Glaze. If you’ve ever had a Monte Cristo sandwich then you can relate. I don’t go as far as deep frying my sandwiches at home but when I eat a ham/turkey sandwich I usually add some jelly. I like the looks of this glaze and am going to can some this summer, its pinned on my “preserving” board on Pinterest. Thanks for the information!
Yum! I definitely need to make this for my family. My kids would LOVE it!
This sounds really good! I think my kids would even eat this!
I’d love to try and make this myself. It looks so good!
This sounds really tasty! I might have to give it a try.
This looks delish.
I like the you added a jalapeno to the glaze.
I wonder if I could use frozen fruit…thanks for sharing the recipe!
Oh that would be super yummy!
Wow! I cannot wait to make this! Sounds delicious!
I love raspberries and I love sauces on chicken. Thanks for combining the two with this great recipe!
This sure sounds delicious, the raspberry glaze is special! I’d love to try this for company!
