You can’t make me any happier than to serve me a nice piece of grilled chicken, royally drizzled with home made stroganoff sauce. A few Parmesan cottage potatoes on the side and I’m a happy camper.

I like mine cooked and balanced – not too acidic, not too sweet, not with one ingredient being overpowering, just a perfect balance between flavors that makes everything come together.
