An (Un)Professional Guide to Life as a Newlywed
Musings of wife living, working, playing in the Alamo City.
We did it again! J & I attended another lovely Sur La Table cooking class this past weekend and we had a blast. J has given me these classes as gifts two Christmases in a row and it’s starting to become quite a yummy tradition.
Read MoreJ purchased a cooking class from Sur La Table for me for Christmas, and Saturday night we got to enjoy it together! I had gifted my mom a class we did together a few years ago and we had a blast, so I was very excited that J and I could experience one together.
Read MoreNot too long ago J and I spent a weekend at the family lake house with my parents and their friends. The husband of the couple hails from London, England so every time we see him we always ask him about life on the British isle. Food, history, accents, soccer- there isn't a topic untouched.
Read MoreWe've come to the end of our at-home date night meal from this weekend. Last on the menu, Maple Coriander Roasted Carrots- a side dish that is super simple to whip up, but tastes decadent and expensive.
Read MoreIt's time for "Part 2" of J's and my recent at-home date night feast. (If you missed the salad course posted earlier this week, check it out here.)
I'm highlighting the DELICIOUS main course next. Oddly enough I had never cooked with a whole chicken prior to this recipe.
Read MoreAfter a busy work week for both J and I, we decided to have another "date night" at the house making a brand new, and complex recipe out of the cookbook I received from my brother-in-law for Christmas. Conveniently enough it's titled Date Night In.
Read MoreFor Christmas my brother-in-law gifted me an amazing cookbook called "Date Night". It's filled with three to four course meals you and your partner can prepare and enjoy together. I was so excited to receive this, and didn't take long to start planning out J's and my future at-home date night meals.
Read MoreBecause we've been out-of-town so many weekends lately, J and I jump at the opportunity to spend quality time together at home on the weekends we don't have plans. We realized we really enjoy making meals together, so when we do have a night to relax and unwind, cooking together helps us connect. The wine helps, too. :P
Read MoreJ and I have always loved cooking with each other. Well, in the early days of our relationship we enjoyed baking more so than cooking because, at that time, I did not enjoy spending an hour making dinner. And when I say baking, I really mean going to the grocery store to pick up milk and Nestle break-away cookies so we could bake them while we watched Spartacus at his apartment.
