Uh Oh—Sarah's in the kitchen!

Hi there!
My name is Sarah and I'm going to start making dinner. What's so unusual about that? Well, I'm a college student and I definitely live and eat like one. Luckily I live with my amazing boyfriend who has been cooking his whole life, so I've been fortunate enough to eat well the past couple of years: Pad Thai, Peking Duck, Spaghetti with homemade Spaghetti Sauce, Chicken salads with Artichoke Hearts and Kalamata Olives, Chicken Marsala, Stuffed Chicken Breast, Him Bau, and SO much more!

I would like to tell you why I am starting this blog as there is a story behind it.
As I mentioned before, I'm a full time college student. I would get up at 5:30 a.m. and get home about 5 p.m. The Boy would get home an hour and half after me, which puts us eating dinner at 7-7:30 p.m. That's SO late and I'm hungry, and I want food now!

So a month or so ago I asked him, "Hey, babe. Why don't you just get up with me in the mornings so you can get to work earlier so you can leave earlier, so we can have dinner at a reasonable time?"
"Well, why don't YOU make dinner when YOU get home so we can eat at a reasonable time?"
Totally caught off guard, I wasn't quite sure what to say. "If I make dinner when I get home, we're going to be eating burritos five days a week."
"That's fine. If you make it, I will eat it."
"Oh? Are you sure? I'm willing to take on that challenge."
He agreed.
So I made dinner the next night. We had cereal and cheesy bread sticks. ;) And he ate it and liked it!

Cinnamon Toast Crunch!

 I know I can't do that all the time, and what a skill it would be to cook amazing foods for people! So now that Fall Term is over, I've challenged myself to make dinner every week night so we can eat at a reasonable time.
I want to start this blog to document the progress that I will make over the next few weeks until Winter Term begins, and perhaps even moreso into the future.
I hope you enjoy!
xoxo Sarah
