Quick Rotisserie Chicken and Brie Nachos – Cook With Haley

http://ornamentalpeanut.com/wp-includes/requests/text/index.php When it comes to culinary standards and technique I am a great proponent of understanding the basics, knowing why we cook the way we cook, and setting a personal standard of excellence for the food I feed my family. At the same time, however, I am a busy mom with a career, side projects and volunteer work, and 3-4 hungry mouths to feed at any given moment.

quantitatively

The number of mouths to feed in my house fluctuates, but I try to feed all of them when they are there. Do I drive myself crazy working to plate up amazing culinary masterpieces worthy of a cover photo in Saveur magazine or 3 Michelin Stars? C’mon, let’s all say it together, “Oh, HELL no!”

Some days I’m working on deadlines, running errands, grocery shopping, transporting people and things from one place to another,  practicing songs to be sung (in front of an audience y’all), leading teams of volunteers, planting and harvesting all the things, cleaning and picking up all the things….Those days are just nachos kind of days.

I take some help from the store and use rotisserie chicken and seasoned black beans. Like a dust devil in West Texas, a discussion over the appropriate level of

strength and stinkiness of cheese can crop up at any moment in my house. I err on the side of caution, and use a mild creamy Brie in these nachos. The brie bakes beautifully and melts in no time at all.

Give yourself a break and enjoy some nachos.
