Husband Approved Dinner!

It's the end of the school year and I am of course completely swamped with paperwork, and tying up loose ends.  I cook a lot for my husband, but there aren't as many days during the week that I actually enjoy it during this time of the year.  I got all of my work done (for the most part) at school yesterday, and came home to start cooking.  I was motivated, and I wanted to cook, although I have no idea where the motive came from!  OH well, I took advantage of the emotion while it lasted! 

The night before, I began marinading some chicken in a citrus/onion/herb marinade.  I sauteed some sliced mushroom and onion in some olive oil, and topped the chicken with the sautee mixture.  I opened a can of campbell's cream of mushroom soup and put that on top of the chicken, and then covered it to bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes.  Made some greenbeans, rice, and garlic bread.  It was delicious.  After dinner dishes were cleaned and put away, I started on banana bread! 

Basically, I was super domesticated last night and could NOT get enough.  Also, my house smelt like heaven might.  The prize was of course hearing my husband mumble and moan while he took bites.  That means it's GOOD.  :)

Home is so much more than just the exterior look of a house, or the interior for that matter.  I am definitely a fan of big soft couches, soft linens, blankets, pillows, curtains, and bright decorating accents on the walls and within the home...but to me home is about the love shared inside.  The food enjoyed and the days discussed.  The prayers said, and the hands held.  I love my home, and I love being a warm attribute to its overall environment.  I love how cooking can arouse all of these warm and gooey feelings deep in my soul, and I love knowing that my love through cooking is appreciated and enjoyed. 

I LOVE cooking for my husband.
