Hello world!

Hi, I’m Melissa. I’m just like you. My life is busy with a full-time lab job, daily commute, and trying to magically stay fit, social, and maintain a clean apartment. There never seems to be enough hours in the day, but, just like you, I like to eat tasty food. I’m an amateur cook, which really means I enjoy tinkering around in my kitchen, but what I love to do is make delicious recipes that make your eyes go “wow” and your tastebuds go “holy sh!t what was that?!?!?!”. What’s even more awesome is when others eat your dishes and ask “what’s your secret?” “That’s so good”. You know who really reaps the benefits of my “kitchen experiments”? My boyfriend Alan. We have a nice symbiotic relationship: I cook, he eats. Yes, I do get to enjoy the food and yes he provides honest yet tasteful feedback (get the pun? “tasteful”). The main point of this ties into how we both really won each other over, it wasn’t the nice sushi dinner he took me to or my witty one liners; it was the morning he surprised me by cooking me breakfast before an important seminar and the morning I surprised him by preparing a breakfast burrito for him to take on his to work. Want to know why? It was the thought and effort of taking the time to prepare something for each other that had a last effect. We’ve taken those memories, with a new found desire to eat out less, applied then to our current date nights in. So welcome to “My Delicious Date” where you can learn new ways to prepare deliciously looking and tasting food for an amazing date night in.
