Instagram post 2191086605729425647_431791831 I am still not used to San Diego sunsets. What a magical place to call home. #lajolla #socal #sandiego
Instagram post 2175983707064377020_431791831 Every time I make chicken noodle soup I keep adding more vegetables and chicken until I turn it into chicken noodle stew. And it’s delicious.
Instagram post 2172138553152969343_431791831 Meatballs = happiness
Instagram post 2170876331638567619_431791831 Swipe for the reason I cook. I love to spoil my wife. Nothing makes me as happy as the look on her face when she’s eating what I make. I look forward to cooking thousands and thousands of more meals for my love @shardey22. .

Paprika roasted sweet potato hash with bacon and onion. Fried egg on top. Salted avocado and local, farm fresh plums. I could eat like this all day every day.

Instagram post 2106383058153062101_431791831 Not a bad night in San Diego. I never thought I was say it’s a bit chilly on an August evening. But SoCal summer nights are something special. 65 degrees special.
Instagram post 2102491010698190777_431791831 Such a beautiful sunset in La Jolla Shores. Rooftop fire pits with special people make life so much sweeter.  @shardey22 and I are so thankful for Ken and Carolyn!
Instagram post 2097481646711186218_431791831 In SoCal it’s all about wide-brim hats and fresh fruit. Keep it juicy everyone. 🤜🏻🍓
Instagram post 2094014257143089159_431791831 When you remember you have mushrooms you need to cook...
.
Chicken thighs with garlic, onion, rosemary, thyme, garlic, parsley, butter and mushrooms. An easy Monday night dinner for my one-true love @shardey22. Eating on the patio in our San Diego home. .
I’m missing Dallas and our friends and family quite a bit these days. But our adventure in SoCal is just getting started. Filled with laughter, love and food with my best friend, wife and partner for life.
Instagram post 2092527282179463589_431791831 I just can’t get enough of this woman. She is everything that is good in the world wrapped up in a beautiful person. I can’t imagine a better partner. @shardey22 you are a dream come true.
Instagram post 2087987982951642981_431791831 My amazing wife spoils me all the time. She loves to bake and you can taste the love in every bite. Scones are one of my favorites. Butter, jam, fresh whipped cream. What’s not to love?
Instagram post 2087267499486517553_431791831 I love the sights and smells of the Little Italy Farmers Market. The best strawberries I’ve ever had.
Instagram post 2083106619274438226_431791831 Wishing we could go back. Amazing wine, delicious pasta, beautiful friends, peaceful views. Little Italy is such a charming neighborhood in San Diego. But it’s the people and the memories that really make it so special. .

Instagram post 2082403731619410074_431791831 “Family I didn’t know I had.” .
This sums up the last few days. My heart is so full of joy, laughter and happiness. I’m so thankful for the people in my life that make it what it is.
.
Huge thank you and love to @olia_bosovik and @manalipanda for spending your time with us in sunny San Diego. Life is better because of you. .

Instagram post 2075943593471415520_431791831 Sometimes after an hour in the kitchen you admit defeat. These are the nights cereal is designed for.
Instagram post 2075243547918781857_431791831 Keeping it simple on a Wednesday night. San Diego summer nights are something special. But not as special as the woman sitting across the floor from me. 
Good, simple ingredients. Lights at night. Sitting on the patio with my bride. It’s a perfect evening.
Instagram post 2072681642062681121_431791831 Enjoying a decaf latte at my favorite coffee shop - Flying Horse Cafe. I’m missing the SoCal weather right now but being back in Dallas for 48 hours is wonderful.
Instagram post 2068677305858783935_431791831 A beautiful evening in San Diego. Baked salmon, mango salsa, peas & onions, chilled wine and the very best thing in my life - my amazing wife, Sarah. 
Picnics on the patio wouldn’t be the same without her. Cooking would be a bore, wine would be a waste.
