Dan's Special Sauce

This is Dan.

He's witty, nerdy, sometimes charming, occasionally handsome and he just so happens to be the adorable fellow that is dating me.  Yep, this is who I cook for every night, and because of that, he puts up with me everyday.  How could you resist?

Well consider this a quick little shout out to my darling boyfriend and his delicious sauce.  Yeah, that sounded raunchy but, I'm serious.  This boy can cook.  I want to sit here and pretend that I taught him everything that he knows, but that is largely untrue.  When I met Dan freshman year, I was burning boxed mac and cheese on the reg.  Dan is the reason I got interested in cooking, and without his inspiration, I might never have picked up the wooden spoon.  Okay, sappiness aside because I'm getting grossed out, Dan's like a little old Italian grandma.  He prepares amazing Italian dishes, chops garlic like a pro, and makes a sauce that will keep you coming back for more......

Where is all this nonsense going?  Well, today I came home from a strenuous day of laundry and shopping with the girls, to this:

Chicken Parmesan with homemade Tomato Sauce!  It was absolutely delicious and too gorgeous to not snap a photo of, even if we had to take it on my old broken camera (which he of course broke).  Thanks Dan, you're a best--maybe he'll have to be a guest star up here from time to time!
