The first 4 years of our marriage, I was either going to school or working full time. Juan and I had the agreement that since we were away from the house an equal amount of time, that we would split household chores evenly. In reality, Juan ended up doing mostly everything- dishes, laundry, dinner, and we traded off cleaning the bathroom. But still I would say, "when I stay at home, I'll take over, I promise."
You know how when you say something like that, in the back of your head you don't even believe the words you're saying?
Well let me tell you. I'm doing it.
And while I'm not a great cook, I have been trying new things and am finding I somewhat enjoy it.
(Random picture from the internet. Mine almost looked this good, ha ha.)
I made Thai Peanut Chicken the other night and loved it. I followed the recipe, and doubled the sauce like the people in the comments said to. I loved how it had a spicy kick, and Juan liked it as well.
I know this doesn't count as cooking, but this dessert is super yummy, especially frozen. And was so easy to make!
My favorite cooking sites are mrshardingcooks.blogspot.com and www.ourbestbites.com. I am trying this orange chicken next. And while I'm at it, I better not pass up these. Best chocolate chip cookies ever? We will see.
Please share yummy recipes or cooking sites.

mmm, that Thai Peanut Chicken sounds really good! I really like allrecipes.com, though you might already know about it. I'm with you--it seems like the more I cook dinner, the more I enjoy it!
I just bookmarked the Thai Peanut Chicken recipe and I am going to make it next week. That is awesome that you are cooking. I love it. I just made Thai fried rice, last week and it was really good. Thank you for the other websites, I will check them out!!!
That does sound good. I so infrequently cook, but I really need to. Thanks for the recipe. How's life back in UT?
