Summer Salad

I'm charging my phone. I promise I shall stop sucking by writing a food blog and a) not updating it frequently and b) not giving you photos of the food. Whoever you is. I'm pretty sure no one reads this.

Anyway it's a very basic salad. It's light and fun with equal parts sweet and tart.

• Favorite salad greens (preferably ones with some bite)
• Mandarin oranges (get the jar where they're packed in 100% juice and you'll thank me later)
• Your favorite berries (strawberries or blackberries work well)
• Plain goat cheese
• Walnuts; roasted but unsalted please
• Green onions 
• Simply flavored grilled or baked chicken
• Poppyseed dressing

Combine all ingredients and mix to your hearts content. Eat, be merry and realize you just had a meal that you didn't have to feel guilty about. 

Chicken Nuggets!!!

So the other night I made chicken nuggets from scratch. They're one of Drew's favorites and they can be really quick. And they were simple.

• 1 pound ground chicken
• onion powder
• garlic powder
• salt
• pepper
• chili powder
• bread crumbs
• butter

Combine all of the last 2 ingredients and mix well. Form nuggets and dip in butter then in bread crumbs. Place on cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees, flipping halfway through. I didn't flip halfway through exactly (12/7) and as a result they weren't all that crisp on one side.
