Hello! I absolutely love to cook for my family and friends. Nothing pleases me more than seeing people enjoy what I have made and whenever we have company, trust and believe I have to whip up a little something something! Although Johnny and I think my cooking is the bomb.com, there is something about other people’s cooking that just hits different. For example, my mom and I make the exact same mac n’ cheese recipe and I always think that hers tastes better than mine. In fact, I recently had her mac n’ cheese and shared my sentiments and told her a little story about Johnny’s scrambled eggs…

Two or so years ago I got really sick after getting one of my Covid boosters. I was having hot flashes and chills, my body felt like I got ran over by a truck, and it was straight up agony. During that time, I wasn’t eating much and drinking ALL of the blue Gatorade. Then, when my appetite came back I requested scrambled eggs and toast that Johnny made for me. I kid you not when I say it was the best scrambled eggs I had ever had in my life and Johnny was so pleased with himself! 🙂

This past Monday I was feeling pretty lousy. I didn’t sleep well on Sunday night and I was so busy in the morning that I didn’t have time to eat breakfast before my shift. By the time I got home after work, I was so exhausted and freaking starving. I made myself something quick and easy but that didn’t curb my hunger one bit and I knew I would need a snack before taking my nighttime medication. My beloved Johnny tapped in for the assist and made my order of toast with “lots of butter” while I went upstairs to lay down.

A few minutes later he returned with my toast and, once again, I kid you not that it was the best toast I ever had lol. Was it because I was so hungry or because it was made with love? Who’s to say? All I know is that it tasted like manna from heaven! I repeat, there is just something about when other people make food for you that hits different! As I ate, I could literally feel myself feeling better and I could tell it made Johnny happy. I think he felt how I feel when I make food for him! He’s, admittedly, not the best chef but my main squeeze can make a mean scrambled eggs, toast, and oven pizza like nobody’s business! What a heck of a guy. ❤

A snack as simple as toasted sourdough bread, beaucoup butter, and Johnny’s secret ingredient of a pinch of salt got me feeling right again. I think he needs to make it for me from now on!!

Do you and someone else like to make the same recipes? Whose dish tastes better to you? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
