  • NaBloPoMo 2015: The Joy Of My Husband’s Cooking!

    With my working full-time and commuting into “the city” (NYC, if you live in and around “the city”) 3 days out of the week, my kids and my husband have taken over some of the cooking…okay, they do a lot of the cooking…fiiiiiiiiiine…I haven’t cooked a solid meal since April.

    Oatmeal craisin cookies

    Garth(NHRN) is an especially gifted baker and I would do almost anything to bite into one of his delectable cookie creations (that’s what SHE…I mean…that’s right, I said it!) like those up there, they ARE my favorite! And now he’s experimenting with real food.

    Herbed chicken casserole

    Whenever my husband is home, I start looking forward to lunchtime at 11:30 a.m. Because he’ll almost always place a plate on my desk, while describing EXACTLY how he mixed this with that and threw in some more of that stuff over there and…LUNCHTIME!!!! 

    Oh, and my man is NOT afraid to peel a pomegranate and…NO!!!!…I am SO NOT taking ANY of this for granted. Trust me! And it’s really cute how the roles have reversed and I am more than happy to give him space in the kitchen…UNTIL…he placed today’s lunch plate on my desk:

    Grilled chicken and mozzarella on top of a bed of salad greens, zucchini, red pepper and a ginger sesame dressing

And my first thought was…WOW!!!…I’m feeling a little insecure about my place in the kitchen…I mean, he really needs to lower the bar, a little. And then I ate it in like four bites…NEVER MIND…IGNORE ME…and carry on, Garth(NHRN)!
