Something New

So in my house, I have always done all of the cooking. This has always worked because I love cooking, and my husband, well, could care less about it. There have been occasions where he would make me a really nice dinner for an anniversary or birthday, but besides that his idea of cooking was putting a frozen pizza in the oven. Recently however, he has developed an interest in it. On one of his days off every week he has been making dinner. This has been fabulous. We have different days off, so to come home to a nice cooked meal after working all day is so nice. Plus he cooks some really good food! A second person in the kitchen adds different styles and new ideas to our meals. So I have decided to start posting his recipes on here that he creates each week. You will see anything from very manly meals to meals that should be served next to candlelight. Enjoy!
