Filling Up His Love Tank

I know I have told y'all that here in the south we show our love with food. Well, needless to say, since I have been banded my family has been feeling a lack of love from me. Ok, truthfully, they probably haven't felt any different, but I feel like I haven't shown my love enough because I haven't been feeding them like I did before.

Now, before y'all go and tell me how much therapy I need for showing my love through food, I'm here to tell ya it just ain't gonna happen. I show my love in many other ways to them besides food and I enjoy cooking for them. They don't have any weight issues or issues with food. I haven't been cooking much (except for a traditional southern Sunday meal) because I knew I couldn't handle the temptation of the food, which means they have had to fix for themselves for the last 4 months (unless they wanted chicken or turkey...which they didn't).

The Rockstar and I have always worked in different school systems. We have never had the same spring break. Although we still work in different school systems, we have the same spring break this year. I decided this week I would clean, declutter, organize, and fill up the Rockstar's love tank during spring break :)

I won't go into all the freaky intimate details of all the ways I filled his love tank...but I will talk about the food part. Warning...food porn ahead.

Here are some of the things I have made for him this week...

Meatloaf, creamed potatoes, white beans.

My plate is the small one. Those little black bowls hold 1/2 cup. The Rockstar nearly licked his plate clean. This was mine when I was done...

The Rockstar loves, loves, loves banana pudding. So this is what he got for the first round of dessert that night ;)

I did not partake in the banana pudding. Thought about it....wanted to....but didn't.


I made him a homemade chicken potpie...

I did partake in this, but kept my portion to a half cup. His portion compared to mine (mine did not include any crust)

I made him some banana bread....

I love banana bread, but I no longer eat it when I make it. I usually make The Rockstar take it to work so I don't have to see it. Since he's not working this week I will just have to exercise good ole willpower :)

For now, I think the love tank is filled to the brim :)
