I will be the first to admit - I hate to cook. I don't dislike it, I hate it, but having three men in the house doesn't cut me any slack, so I cook a full meal (by the grace of God) Monday through Thursday and sometimes on Friday. I take weekends off because everyone else in the house is off on weekends. I don't want my family to feel guilty about seeing me in the kitchen while they chill all weekend, so I joined them and gave myself a few days off also. You should try it!
The boys don't have a problem eating sandwiches or leftovers and I don't have a problem watching them eat sandwiches either. Hubby will open and close cabinets thinking I'll eventually come in the kitchen and cook him something, but after he's opened every cabinet in the kitchen with no signs of my face in the place, he amazingly puts together a plate of food!
Well, today is Valentine's Day and I believe I've been bit by the love bug or something because I'M COOKING A SPECIAL MEAL! I can hardly believe it myself and I'm actually excited about it! Cupid must be real because this is not normal for me; I've been shot by the arrow of amour. What? Oh, you want to know what I'm cooking? Oh, okay. (smile)
Lemon Sweet Tea
Spinach Salad with raisins and diced apples, drizzled with warm Vinaigrette Dressing
Spicy Ziti Pasta with Turkey Kielbasa Sausage topped with Parmesan and Mozzarella cheese.
Garlic and Cheese Bread Bites
Ice Cream Brownie Sundae with warm strawberry sauce (made from fresh strawberries)
Sounds fancy, doesn't it? It's really just pasta, garlic bread, and brownies and ice cream for dessert, but I learned from the cooking channel that it's all about the presentation!
I believe my family will be pleased and I pray I recover from this love bug real soon! I'm supposed to be allergic to the kitchen!
Happy Valentine's Day!
