Caramelized Onion Chicken Salad

Hold the Mayo

I like to describe my style of cooking as MacGyver cooking. I typically lay a bunch of ingredients out that I need or want to use and come up with a creation.

Braised Chicken with Shallot Mustard Sauce

Low and Slow

This one pot supper is packed with flavor and perfect for a week night.  While the chicken braises, you can watch Jeopardy (an addiction of mine), throw in a load of laundry or make yourself a cocktail to unwind from the work day.

I tend to start a braised dish like this as soon as I get home from work.  That way, it has plenty of time to develop flavor and it's ready by the time my man friend gets home.* :)

Meesh Burger with Cucumber Slaw

American Classics

Everything is perfect.  When I can't make it out, I make my own and I use this recipe every time.  It's simple but heavenly and you must pay attention to your toppings! What takes it over the top for me is the crunch from the salt & vinegar chips that I add as the final topping.  Share your favorite toppings in the comments below!
