We call him the 'Weekend Gourmet'.
His stats: tall, dark and handsome.
His title: teacher, father, and chef extraordinare.
His therapy: cooking.
We are going to Hawaii in a couple months, and I have been desperately trying to get rid of those unwanted pounds I put on over the winter. But I have no hope. None. I have an amazing excuse to eat food. The reason? My husband. He loves too cook like I love to draw. It is in his blood. His therapy after a really stressful day is cooking up some new inventive recipe. My therapy after a really hard and stressful day is eating his really amazing new and inventive recipe. We make an incredibly good pair.
No, I have no reason to blame him. It is really my laziness about getting to the gym. But really...can you blame me when this was our weekend?
This is every weekend. And this is just "easy food." The kind of food he can make quick without thinking. You should see him on holidays. Or during the summer. You should see his library of books he POURS over...every culinary institute's manual, every ethnic cookbook, you name it he has read it. And I love it.
My kids love it too. Our weekends are spent making sure the kids aren't falling off the counters while they are covered in flour. They LOVE to cook with dad. I think they always will. And I think that I will always be his best food critic...um...taste tester that is!

I have to be honest. I feel a little gypped that I never got the chance to try those cinnamon rolls. Or the homemade bread. Or the hummus. And that I never knew this talent of Kenneth's existed until I started reading your blog. You're both amazing. (We're going to Hawaii in 3 months! When are you going?)
How nice it is to know that I am not the only wife who would rather create artistic creations than cook. Thank goodness my husband likes to cook or we would all starve. He isn't quite at the chef level as your husband, but boy can he whip up the yummiest of yummy meals.
The pictures look almost good enough to eat!
Should you guys open a B&B, let me know, we'll make sure we come during the weekend :)

The bread was great and I am SO glad I don't live too far from the amazing food. I'm not sure how Ken got that talent and I have a hard time making a baked potato (don't ask it was a long day). I will just have to Kenny teach me all his tricks.
uh, what do you charge for Sat morning brunch... :) Seriously! I'll buy the groceries! Yum.
What a clever team you are: a brilliant artist and a gourmet chef. The creativity in your household would be amazing.
Your husband's food looks scrumptious.
Wow! If he's as good a cook as you are of capturing the food---then I'll take you up on he and Tyler cooking together one of these days! You're both so amazing! He needs to join one of those Food Network showdown shows!!!!! you could pay off student debt so fast! Seriously! And did he do all of that in ONE weekend? Wow!
wow!
A) Sarah, you look FABULOUS so no need to worry 'bout being ready for Hawaii, and I'd have that pan of cinnamon rolls finished off in no time!
B) You make it too difficulte to narrow my pictures to 3. I'm waiting 'til we have beds set up in our HOME (next month!!!) and then I'm raiding your store for the girls' room AND James'! (he will LOVE Lavender dilly dilly- I'm excited:)!) I'm also thinking I'll wait for May to come out- and have the girls' birthday months up. They're ALL quickly becoming my favorites:)!
my mouth is watering!
Oh man! I thought I had it good. "Nick! where are you? You better step it up!" Unbelievable.
Yummie yum yum yum!
Okay, can I just say YUMMY and LUCKY!!!
