This is the first thing my fiancé Andrew ever cooked for me. Which is perfect considering Valentine’s Day is right around the corner!
This dish will always hold a special place in my heart. I still remember the smile on Andrew’s face when he made it for us for the first time. We had only been dating a few weeks at this point, and he wasn’t much of a cook.
Now, 6 years later, we’re planning our wedding. We’ve been engaged for over a year and a half now, and we’ve FINALLY started to move forward with the planning. Since we’ll be in Florida, we’re thinking of venues on the beach, and in the early spring. It won’t be too hot, there’s a nice ocean breeze, and the water is nice and clear in the Gulf of Mexico.
I’m sure whatever we pick will be beautiful. There’s also talk of the Tampa aquarium. Either way, I can’t wait to get down there and start looking.
Until then? I’ll be in my kitchen.
Enjoying this incredibly EASY-to-make Asparagus Stuffed Chicken with Swiss. It really don’t get much better than this. All you have to do is roll the chicken around the asparagus, cheese, and pesto, put a toothpick in it, and bake. The result? Savory, cheesy deliciousness.
