A Quick post tonight. I just wanted to say, my husband cooked me dinner from a recipe. This was an easy, satisfying and tasty meal: French bread with tomato slices, mozzarella and basil, served with a romaine salad. It came from the appetizer section of a 20 minute meal or less cookbook. As you can see it’s served on our best dinnerware.
I took a picture of Josh taking his meal from the oven. He said, “You don’t need to take a picture, I’ve cooked before.” However, in the past 5.5 years we’ve been married. This is the first time I recall him cooking for me, from a recipe! This is a special day. And if I ever get my scrapbook out, it’s going in there!
Anyway, on to today’s menu…

Breakfast: 2 Oatmeal and Raisin Waffles see recipe (or frozen whole wheat waffles) w/ peanut butter and 1 serv. fruit, and 1 c. milk
