Mmmmm...the taste of mom's tender baked chicken!! I mean it just fell off the bone and melted in your mouth! Yet what was the rest of the meal...green beans, mash potatoes, or was it cabbage? I just don't remember the entire meal and that goes for ALL the meals I grow up eating back when I lived at home.
See my boyfriend and I cook for each other all the time and yes we've moved up from noddles and cereal on the weekends. We have cute little college meals of rice a roni, green beans, pork chops and maybe a roll. Yet most of the meals go in that order substituting green beans for a different vegetable and pork chops for a different meat.
Then that fateful day came when my boyfriend turned to me and said "Babe...is this how we're going to eat when we're married?" Alarms and sirens went off in my head!! I knew one day he would ask because I had been asking myself that same question for weeks! The answer of course was "No babe, of course not!" Yet I can't seem to get out of the routine of making meals such as that.
Now I'm on the hunt for recipes and different meals to create in the kitchen. I need things that are simple *when it comes to ingredients yet complex when it comes to presentation. I love a pretty plate... I found this website Food on Shine and one of the meals that stood out to me was the "Chicken Parmigiana" one. I love myself some chicken and I love preparing it as well. I'll try it out and see how it goes, but I'm still on the search of fresh recipes that my boyfriend and I will love.
