With my work schedule of late, it is pretty much a given that I will not be home in time to cook dinner during the week. Most of the time, B is in the same boat because even though he works from home, he is going to school at night to get his MBA so every free minute in the evenings is spent studying. As a result, our meals were largely revolving around takeout until a couple weeks ago when B's semester finally ended. Lucky for me he really enjoys cooking. One night this meant enjoying delicious leftovers of roasted chicken and succotash:
It was simple and delicious. Apparently all he did was rub a whole 3 pound chicken with some store-bought spices and then, while it was baking an hour and a half on 350 degrees, he sauteed onions and garlic in a pot before adding frozen corn and lima beans and a chopped up tomato.
Another night B's availability to test his culinary prowess meant coming home to pork tacos in the slow cooker:
B got the recipe from
Epicurious and personalized it by adding cumin and a few cloves of garlic to the slow cooker with the pork. The result was tender and flavorful, and the leftover made for made fantastic pork nachos a few days later.
Finally, on the weekend I woke up to enjoy a home-cooked bacon, egg, and cheese on an everything bagel:
Yum.
Needless to say, I'm really going to miss this type of 5-star treatment when B's school kicks back up for the summer semester in early June.
