Chellors can cook!

I came home the other night feeling daring and wanting to be sweet to my K. Somehow this led me to want to cook! K can probably count on his hand the number of times I've cooked, I mean really cooked, for him in the almost 5 years we've been dating. Sad I know. :( I think the saddest thing is that I can actually cook just fine, I just never do! K cooks the most amazing meals so why would I want to take that away from him and make something that's not nearly as good?!
But I'm turning over a new leaf so I started with something fairly simple. Chicken Broccoli n Cheese Casserole! I had to take pictures of myself and my attempt so that he would believe I really made it and Jess didn't just bring it over then I stuck it in the oven. :)
(actually sounds like something I would do)

Cutting the chicken...
Cooking the chicken without burning it!

And of course I had to have a snack while cooking. Oh how I love my bro for introducing me to Roasted Raspberry Chipotle sauce over cream cheese with ritz crackers! Mmmm...

Color variety is important. As long as there's green I'm good.

I should have taken the picture of ME mixing it up... (noted for next time)

Before entering the gates of the ovenSorry i didn't a picture of the finished product. :( It pretty much looks like the above but with browned crumbled crackers. :)


I also thought I'd be extra sweet and make him some cupcakes. :D How can anyone say no to a cupcake? Even the word is cute! (again no picture of the finished product) :T

All in all I would say dinner was a success!
