Iron Chef Nathan!

Nate and I LOVE food. Let's be honest. We love to try new foods, we love to critique and discover foods, we love to create and experiment with foods, and we love finding new favorites. Whether it is going to a restaurant or whipping up culinary crafts in our own kitchen...we are all over it. But I have to say- Nate is seriously a brilliant chef! After being married to him for a year and a half, he still doesn't cease to surprise me with all of the creative and delicious things he can whip out of no where! He'll dazzle you with his fancy Bananas foster (a yummy dessert)! He'll wow you with his fillet of salmon beautifully plated! He'll astound you with his homemade chicken cordon bleu or fillet minion! And that is only the beginning! Each meal he designs begins with an appetizer, a beautiful salad, and if he's really going nuts- a dessert after the main course. After a long day yesterday, and Nate having been out of town, i was excited to see him that evening. And VERY excited to see this meal below awaiting my arrival.

This was my dinner. Fillet Minion topped with a tomato and yellow pepper all broiled with onion in a white cooking wine. Carefully placed atop wild rice and decorated with fluffily mashed potato-just enough to mix with the rice and be completely satisfied. Can you say beautiful??? Goodness...

We started with a poppyseed salad with strawberries and pineapple pieces. Delicious!! My honey even set the table with a candle :) Does he spoil me or what?

So he's brilliant. Seriously. And I love cooking with him and watching him get excited about it! We have such a good time. Here are a few other delights he's made me in the past.

I took these on my phone...forgive the crumby quality-just admire the art!

Folks this only GRAZES the surface of Nate's amazing skills. He spoils me rotten. In every aspect of our marriage and life. This is only highlighting one of the ways he does. But while I'm talking about my darling husband spoiling me, I want to throw in a random tidbit. Lately I have taken a liking to the wal-mart classic grandma style PJ's. Night gowns or the button ups...I love them! So along with my dinner last night,  Nate kindly went to grab some diapers from the store. I was pleasantly surprised when he came home with a gift of a new pair of PJ's. What a dear!! 

So there you have it. My husband is the sweetest and most amazing man alive. I'm COMPLETELY in love. And I'm so glad that he is all mine!!
