Hi, I'm Rachel.

A few years ago I could barely boil water.

True story.

Determined to be a kick ass wife, I developed a love for football and learned to cook in my tiny Jersey City kitchen. I spend my days working in Manhattan, my nights and weekends chasing after a rambunctious toddler, and the hours in between cooking with my husband and feeding my TV habit...oh, and I blog about it all!

When Shaun Makes Dinner...

It looks a little something like this...

Fish & chips!

I love that my husband cooks. I would have probably whipped up yet another batch of black bean quesadillas or English muffin pizzas since I was so beat last night. But my husband? He pulled out all the stops. Using Bobby Flay's Throwdown cookbook, he made the famous A Salt & Battery fish from the famed West Village fish & chips shop. Complete with malt vinegar and homemade tartar sauce.

The batter was light and oh-my-god-unbelievable. The fish was perfectly cooked. White and flaky, meaty and light. I'm a lucky gal.

So Shaun, you're making dinner every night from this day forward, right?

I thought so...

Have a delicious weekend everyone!

Questions of the Day:

When's the last time someone cooked for you? What did they make?

What's on tap for this weekend?

We have lots of family activities planned and I cannot wait! I'll dish on it all next week!

psst...We're sharing our peaches (highs) & pits (lows) of the week over on The Peach & The Pit. Join in the fun and add yours over there too!

That looks yummy :)

Joe made me dinner for my birthday a couple weeks ago---crab cakes and asparagus. It was so good---I love it when he makes me dinner b/c he puts so much effort into it (and he's equally proud of himself!) and he also does the dishes :)

Have a great day!

I think I'd even eat this, and I don't eat meat! Yum!

The last time someone cooked for me was actually pretty recent - two weeks ago, when my mother made dinner! I filled up on GF fresh garden veggies! Yum!

I could SO go for a fish fry tonight! It is Friday afterall (In Wisconsin, friday night fish frys are a must!)

You have such a sweet hubby; I love when my sweetness makes me meals! Fish and chips look flaky and delicious!

Fried fish....yes please! You are a lucky lady! My husband refuses to cook because his meals won't taste "nearly as good". Yeah, nice try buddy.
