“Take-Out Burger”
"Take-Out Burger" I'm calling this 'Take-Out Burger" because that's exactly what it tastes like; a decadent, naughty, fatty, bad-for-you-burger but really it's not bad for you at all. I credit this to two things: My Yummy Boom Boom Sauce and Sautéed Mushrooms; what an incredible combination. This is a "putting it all together" recipe and I hope ...

Pan Chicken with Bacon and Mushrooms I've always loved cooking. I remember I'd stand beside my mother while she made a homemade dinner every night, even when she was sick and tired.
