Cheater Chicken & Dumplings
Do you love good old school comfort food? Do you want a quick and easy meal that tastes like you spent all day in the kitchen? Do you feel like something hearty for Sunday lunch on a cold day? Are you scratching your head wondering what in the world you're going to take to that potluck? Well, this version of the old southern classic will nicely fit any one of those situations. As it happens, I made this last Friday night because I had two sick ladies at home.

Cheater French Onion Soup
I am a fool for some good French onion soup. Unfortunately, most of the common restaurant fare is thin, salty and vacuous. It seems as though they just dumped some onions in some beef broth, let it reduce a little, then dish it up with a slab of bread and a glob of cheese. You might think that this recipe looks like what I just described.

Cheater Homemade Pastrami
Homemade pastrami is something that has been on my barbecue bucket list for a long time. Even this cheater version turned out better than I expected, and I'd be hard-pressed to go back to the standard grocery store version. This is a cheater version because I started with store-bought corned beef, as opposed to corning the brisket myself. I'll try the "real" version sometime, but for now this at least gives me a baseline for comparison when I do.
