Some may call me a chef,

but I'd rather call myself a sous chef.
I'm not much of a solo cooker, it's sort of lonely, just you & the food. I did enjoy however making this meal for my boy a couple weeks ago, but I was accompanied in the kitchen by my lovely roomie Hillary.
Cooking with some even if we're not cooking the same meal is way better!
Conversations over food - my favorite!
Here's some of my favorite meals that Nate & I have made:

Chicken Parmigiana, spinach dip with pita chips & a peach/almond salad with a sweet vinaigrette

Chicken & spinach pesto lasagna with bruschetta (along with Nate's dijon mustard sauce)

Chicken Tortilla Soup! Apple chicken sausage, veggie & gruyere sandwich with a raspberry mayonnaise sauce!

Fried chicken, mash potatoes, home-made mac & cheese with a side of strawberry, almond & spinach salad!

Coconut fried shrimp, cheese tortellini with home-made alfredo sauce & asiago cheese puffs!

We're still working on being healthy, but delicious we have seem to got down. Even when it's sometimes stressful in the kitchen, I always love cooking with Nate. I know that in the beginning of cooking together, we're still going to try & get our rhythm, but in our last meal I think we hit it off! It was mostly relaxed cooking the meal and I love when he adds random spices to our sauces! He's such an "iron chef" in that regard! In the end, I love just eating our food. Fatty moment of the day right here folks! Our food has so far been delicious & I hope it continues to be that way! We love experimenting and finding new things to cook. I stick to what I know & what's familiar while Nate chooses to branch out and make our meal diverse - in the end it produces a nice combination of both of us in a great meal.

Memories over meals, I sure hope this continues (:
