I can’t tell you how awesome it is to come home tired from a long day of work and have a delicious meal waiting for you from your wonderful wife. Ok, I can tell you – it is really awesome! It was such a treat to have Marney cook a delectable and simple meal for me, and trust me, I hope this is a trend that continues. The combination of tomato, basil, and parmesan are classic and she presented it in a refined yet comforting way. Thank you Marney for being such a sweet and thoughtful wife, and for always knowing how to fill my love tank (read: stomach).

One of our goals in writing this blog is to introduce newbies to the joy of cooking. The first key is to not be afraid to fail or make mistakes. I can’t emphasize enough how important this is!

I’ve messed up so many attempts at meals along the way to discovering new combinations and dishes that I really love. Some of my best home-cooked meals were ones that I just whipped together with whatever was lying around. Like anything worthwhile, it takes practice and thought. And always have fun doing it, because no matter what, the worst thing that can happen is . . . you have to order takeout.
