Labor of Love

First and foremost I would like to thank my husband for being such a great cook. I feel blessed that he ENJOYS cooking. I feel blessed that I can count on him to take over making dinner when I need a break from cooking. And, I feel blessed that when it comes to new recipes that he's willing to make them. Happy to say that we're even a team when it comes to cooking/baking.

Another Pinterest recipe. He's usually the cook when trying out new recipes while I'm his sous chef. {But when it comes to Mexican food I'm the boss, lol}

Sriracha  Lime Chicken Chopped Salad ... is a keeper! And what's surprising to me is that I had stayed away from adding any chicken on my salads because I was just not into them but this dish is superb. The lime vinaigrette was ok but I needed it to have something more so I drizzled ranch dressing and it was perfect! The flavor from the red onion, grilled pineapple, lime vinaigrette and the sriracha marinade was just a burst of wonderful flavors and surprisingly it wasn't spicy. Jacob loved it as well. We can't wait to make this dish again!! {look it up on Pinterest so you can get the recipe}

Also, Jacob had to make banana bread so we wouldn't have to throw away all the ripen bananas we had. He knows I like it with lots of brown sugar on the top ... so sweet and delicious! Oh, and here's the bee mug I mentioned several posts back. Isn't it cute?!

And here's my finished blanket. I thought it would look best on our bed. I'm so proud of it! Even Sydna liked it. I guess I need to make her one.

Now that I'm done crocheting this blanket I have more spare time so I'm already browsing to see which winter color hue I'll like best. Also, I'm on my last book from the stack of books I bought several months ago. I need to buy more. I love to read, don't you?!
