My Husband, the 'Chef'


Not my personal picture
During the week it is my responsibility to prepare the meals, which usually consist of salads and pastas. I’m not the best of cooks. But I try.

It is for that reason (but not only that reason) that I am incredibly fortunate in my choice of husband. He is an amazing at-home chef! He’s an electrician by weekday, and by weekend, he’s a chef. This morning, for example, he has prepared crepes. Yum!

Not my personal picture
One of our breakfasts last weekend was Eggs Benedict. It’s remarkable how he suddenly becomes the expert the moment he walks into the kitchen. His specialties include homemade burgers, taco salads/tacos, chicken potpies, banana chocolate chip muffins, and of course, his Eggs Benedict, and crepes.

This week I tried to match him in creativity and cleverness. I thought it was fabulous, but it didn’t go over so well with my husband and sons… they thought it was “Ok”. Sigh. And here I thought that putting pizza toppings inside the Pillsbury croissant rolls was ingenious. I thought it was delicious, though.

So now I ask you: Are you a good cook? What are your specialties?
