In The Kitchen

I've been so busy with the first day of school that I forgot that it was You Capture day. If you know me, you know that I spend no time cooking or baking or anything kitchen related, except maybe once or twice a year.

I'm lucky. I know this. Since Shane doesn't start school until Monday, I came home to freshly made guacamole.

And a caprese salad, which is my very favorite in the summer (I don't even like tomatoes that much, but how can you beat this combination, especially when the tomatoes and basil are from our garden?).

And a CAKE. You guys, he made me a cake. It was supposed to say "We love you, Mommy," but he ran out of frosting. But who cares, because it is a chocolate brownie cake.

I'm the luckiest girl in the world.

I am lucky to have a husband who likes to cook and does so even though he's been at his job for 8-9 hours and I've been home all day w/the baby. He seriously does not want my cooking though, let's be honest, or we'd be having macaroni and cheese or tomato soup :)

Julie said...

I want your cheese.

(Bet that's not a line you get everyday)

I love fresh guacamole, and the caprese salad looks delightfully fresh! Yum! And of course, anything chocolate can't be bad!

I am such a sucker for guacamole!

I don't do much cooking either. I used to cook a lot (it was 50/50 between my husband and I) and now he does probably 90%. . .I also consider myself one lucky girl :-)
