My Husband Baked Cookies?!
A miracle happened in my house last night. When TJ got home I told him I wasn’t feeling well and he let me take an hour nap. When I woke up, I walked into the kitchen and smelled cookies. I really didn’t know what was happening, I was stunned. Then he opened the oven and there they were. I actually screamed, “What?!” because I was so taken by surprise. He has never baked anything the 6 years I have known him. So you can imagine my reaction.
AND he told me he was making dinner. On the menu was pork chops and twice baked potatoes….kind of. I jumped at the chance to take a picture. He tried to take JUST the skin off of the potatoes without leaving a little around the sides, kind of like a boat. I guess he thought the thin skin would be able to hold up. He gave up after that and just smushed it all together. I was trying to contain my laughter, but couldn’t hold it in when he scooped piles of smushed potato on a baking pan.
The pork chops were pink, the potatoes were actually pretty good and the cookies were delicious! I hope this isn’t just a one time thing. I could get used to it

WOW! Those cookies look great! And the potatoes still look yummy even if they weren’t perfect. =)

Way to go for the hubby! That is awesome. I can get my hubby to cook for me only if I nudge him to do it…but I don’t think he has ever baked anything beyond those ready to bake Pillsbury cookies.

These were actually made from scratch! I couldn’t believe he did it right. He told me later that he realized he forgot the butter when the dough looked weird. He put it in at the very end. I was surprised they turned out.
