Spoon some of the chili in each bowl, drizzle with a little mustard and top with the diced onion. Use the bread tops for dipping. After you've had your fill of chili eat the chili soaked bread bowl and enjoy!!
I think I get my love for food and cooking from my mom, who was an amazing cook. She would start baking and freezing a month before Christmas in order to host our huge open house on Christmas afternoon. I watched and I learned...to this day I try not to procrastinate when it comes to entertaining.
My cooking style is pretty much all over the place, although I'm definitely partial to Greek and Italian cuisine. Oh yes, throw a little Cajun in there too!
