Coconut Thai Shrimp and Rice
K loves coconut, and he loves shrimp, which I find disgusting, but whatev. Since K kinda rocks at life, and, you know, this whole husband thing, I wanted to surprise him with a good meal, something he loves that I wouldn’t normally make. I made this, and it was a huge hit with him – […]
Homemade Pizza
K and I spent the first 3 years of our marriage failing as far as homemade pizza was concerned. Seriously, I’m generally a pretty good cook, but every pizza we tried to make was nasty. We tried recipe after recipe, until FINALLY finding this one! This recipe is now our go to homemade pizza recipe, […]

K and I both love lasagna, but we don’t love how time consuming it is to make it. I ran across this recipe for lasagna soup, and decided to try it. It is seriously amazing. This is now our go to, rather than lasagna, because it’s so fast, and we absolutely love soup! It’s a […]
Mom’s Fajitas

Three Bean Soup
I grew up with my mom making this three bean soup, and I was obsessed with it. As a kid I LOVED bacon (which I hate now) so this soup was a huge treat. I now leave out the bacon, but it’s great both with and without it. It’s also very easy, and filling, which […]
Gumbo
This is one of those meals that I made solely to get those cute wife points from K. And, so when we do that ridiculous, I love you more crap, I can say, nope, I made you Gumbo. K loves this meal, and we even made it for my parents, and they loved it too! […]
