Chopping Onions

Tonight's menu included a roasted vegetable pasta ensemble... aka start slicing those veggies!!! Joe and I are attempting to eat a little healthier and curb some of that happy newlywed weight, so by adding a ridiculous amount of veggies (nearly calorie free) we can still stuff our faces without contributing to our tightening waistbands...

On that note... please allow me to show you the start of our cooking venture.

Cooking without wine is like walking without legs

$2 Chardonnay from Whole Foods... too sweet for Joe's taste, but I'm a huge fan. And at $2 a bottle, I have no guilt popping this bad boy on a weeknight! NOW we can get started on dinner!

As we started chopping (when I say "we" I mean "Joe" because I despise chopping onions, I cry enough on my own thank you very much!) I took a quick pic...

Whole Onion, No More

Apparently Joe screwed up. Onions were supposed to be sliced, but instead got chopped (but it all ends up tasting the same anyways doesn't it?!?) SO we went with it and decided now would be a good time to teach Jen how to properly chop an onion...

Slice Flat

Slice Down

Now Chop!

I know, I know... I was pretty amazed myself. I married a talented genius :-) Meanwhile, to prove that I was helping in the kitchen too, I snapped a shot of myself in action...

I'm Helping!!!

I know what you're thinking, My husband does all the work while I just sit back and drink wine. But that's not true. I ate the dinner too! :-D 

Some days life is good. Today is no exception.
