It's simple, really.
Find really easy dinner recipes, act like you slaved in the kitchen ALL day, maybe mess your hair up a little bit so you really look like you put your all into it (when really you were just finishing season 1 of Gossip Girl), and then his happy belly will give you endless compliments. Booya. And because you worked SO hard on dinner, you will probably get dessert served to you while you sit on the couch and watch TV (which you haven't done all day) and a back rub, you know, because standing over the stove all day really messed with your muscles.
Hint: Buy a crockpot. It's a miracle worker. And it let's me watch at least 3 episodes of trash in the amount of time I would have been cooking. Double hint: Make sure you put it away before he gets home. Can't have him knowing our secrets.
Apricot BBQ wings, yum.
What you need:
3 lbs chicken wings
1 cup BBQ sauce
1- 18oz jar apricot preserves
1 tsp dry mustard powder
1 TBSP tabasco sauce
The how- to:
Spread wings on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 mins at 400 degrees. This helps the wings not be disgustingly slimy. (Well, there are my real thoughts, I guess!) Once baked, put them in your crock pot and then mix all your other ingredients in a medium bowl. Or small, or large. (Depending on your mixing skills. I find that a medium bowl allows me some wiggle room for the times my strength gets the best of me and the mixture tries to fly up the side of the bowl.) Pour this concoction to the crock pot evenly over the wings. Cover and cook on low for 5 hours.

Based on his messy face, and my recently massaged back, you better believe this recipe went directly to the favorites list. I wish I would have been a better cook before we got married, but I am learning. And although it is hard to believe, I need help. So, I am sharing mine if you'll share yours. Deal? Great. I just held my hand out to shake hands with the computer screen. Clearly I am taking this seriously.
