When Shaun Makes Dinner, Part 2
I love being married to a man who cooks.
Although I obviously love cooking and baking {and even get a little antsy if I haven't been in the kitch for a while}, it's so nice to simply not have to make dinner on nights when I want to get to the gym, run errands or just don't want to. That's where this guy comes in.
For Christmas, I gave him a new grill. We have a charcoal grill, but it seems as though charcoal grills + condo living = frowned upon. So we went electric. Though it's not quite the same as the charcoal grill, we found out last night that it is pretty darn close!
Since I've been on a healthy kick in 2012, his last dinner masterpiece just wouldn't do. Classic fish and chips...sigh.
Using an Asian-style marinade (with fresh ginger!) Shaun grilled up some chicken and sauteed up some veggies.
The result was like a healthy, real-food version of take-out Chinese! It was so delicious. The chicken was tender and juicy, while the veggies were sweet and soft. Oh and please excuse my horrible iPhone pic...the battery in my camera had died...
I'll take his cooking any day!
Questions of the Day:
Do you like grilling? I usually leave it to Shaun! And I could eat a cheeseburger just about everyday in the summer.
Do you prefer cooking or to have someone else cook for you? I like both!
psst...Kimberly is blogging about her upcoming winter trip over on The Peach & The Pit! Czech it out!

Oh it looks absolutely delicious
I usually prefer to do the cooking and I definitely like to grill. It is nice not to worry about fitting in time to make dinner though! The only downfall of that is I get stuck with the dishes!
I can't have a grill where I live :( I absolutely love grilled food...grilled anything!
As far as cooking goes, I prefer to cook myself. It's a control thing ;)
Shaun is the cutest...you are one lucky woman to have a man that can chef it up. And it goes without saying he's a lucky lad too. Since you both are culinarily inclined, I'd love to see a combo meal from both of you on here!
My husband LOVES to grill (and I love it when he grills - no clean up!) but our new place doesn't allow grills. It is really sad, so we try not to think about it. :(
This looks delish! Yum! So sweet of your husband to cook, it's so nice sometimes to have a night off! Have a wonderful week!
Have always used an electric grill - better for the environment and if you throw in some wet wood chips when you want that special flavor they work pretty well - and little if no pollution.
I LOVE when Matt cooks. He actually made dinner Sunday night and it made my week:-)
Love it! Does he have available brothers (similarly talented)? =)
