I'll readily admit this ... dh does most of our cooking.  I'm not helpless in the kitchen, cooking is just not something I enjoy.  Dh on the other hand enjoys cooking immensely.   He has definitely been gifted in this area and is one of those people that can just toss a bunch of ingredients together and a wonderful meal results.  He does not enjoy baking though so we make a good pair as a result ... he does the majority of the cooking and I do all the baking (I love to bake!).

Dh was on call yesterday and got called to a job site a two hour drive away.  I had a feeling he would be really late getting home.  The time rolled around to make dinner and I was not at all comfortable.  We didn't have a complicated meal planned - sloppy joe's, tater tots, and corn - but I do not like handling raw meat.  It grosses me out to be quite frank.  I had written down dh's recipe for sloppy joe's at the time dh 'created' it, so I pulled that out and got started.  I made it through handling the meat (barely) and was on my way.  Dh arrived home just as I was getting ready to add the remaining ingredients to the browned ground beef and I found that he makes them a bit differently than what I had written down.  Dinner turned out great and we were all so glad dh was home to sit down and share the meal with us.

Here's dh's recipe for sloppy joe's...

1lb. ground beef 

1/3 cup light brown sugar

1/4 cup bbq sauce

1 T. ketchup

1/2 T. mustard

Brown the ground beef and drain.  Combine ground beef with the remaining ingredients and simmer for about 10 minutes.  (I noticed last night that dh added more ketchup and mustard than this written recipe calls for.)
