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!

What are your thoughts on eating in bed?

I mentioned that Penelope and I were solo on Friday evening and for me, that means I get to do and watch whatever I want once she goes to sleep.

And so I did what anyone in my position would do. I indulged in one of my all-time favorite guilty pleasures: eating in bed. I put on my pajamas, cooked up one of my favorite comfort meals, climbed into bed, and ate my dinner while sitting pretty watching Outlander. When Shaun is home, I'd never get away with this. He hates when I eat food in bed and in all the years we've been together, I've never seen him eat food while in bed. Occasionally if he falls asleep on the couch, I'll creep into bed with my dessert and catch up on a show he would have no interest in, but this is a rare occasion.

And so what I want to know is: what are your thoughts on eating in bed? Am I the only crazy one? It is such a glorious indulgence!

PS: We also had a pretty great weigh in on instagram on Friday night.

ha! love this! My husband isn't a fan either but I rarely do this. I personally feel as long as it's not going to make a ton of crumbs, go for it! Mac and cheese? Totally manageable!

Not appropriate.

I didn't bring you up to eat in bed. Or did I?

Omg...NO! No food in bed! My husband tries to do that from time to time and I'm like No! No! No! I didn't mind at first but one night I went to bed and I found a crumb when I turned the sheets down. That was it. No more food in bed.

Although...I will eat ice cream in bed. No crumbs! ;-)
