I'm Treating Myself To Something Special and Why it Matters


Today, I'm treating myself to something special.

Tonight, my husband is headed to a concert, my 8 and 6-year-old are staying with my mom, and I'm staying home with our two-year-old.

I'm treating myself to my favorite meal and a chick flick after he goes to bed. I splurged on a rib eye, dill roasted potatoes (my mom's recipe), grilled asparagus, red wine, and some good chocolate!

For the asparagus: I'll marinate it in 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, a teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of herbs de Provence, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Then grill it for a few minutes on each side until it turns bright green. Perfection!

It's totally okay to treat yourself once in a while! I also love to buy myself a good cooking magazine full of yummy recipes as a special treat!

And if you've been thinking about treating yourself, NOW is the absolute best time to treat yourself to my 40-recipe mix-and-match meal plan within Pantry Cooking Academy.
