We just celebrated our one month weddedblissaversary!
The hubs and I have been really busy with work, catching up with friends, and moving between both family households, that we’re still living out of hampers surrounded by appliance boxes. I really wanted to do something special just to mark this little milestone by cooking dinner. I’ll take any reason to do a little something sweet for the hubs. So to mark our one month, I fired up the stove and fed him.
Prepping the goodness …
And the results …
Honey Glazed Bacon Wrapped Scallops
Balsamic Roasted Asparagus
And Shrimp Scampi …
Yum-to-the-friggin-OH if I do say so myself.
That’s dinner set for two.
Surprise Mr. Husband - WHAT?! WHAT?!
Oops I got busted …. It’s that daym good, ain’t none of it is going to waste on my behalf.
Happy One month hubs…. cheers and hugs and kisses to many more.
Y’all out there planning to make little celebrations to spice up the lovemance after the wedded bliss?
Totally unrelated, but …. I LOVE your table centrepiece! Where did you get the tree branches? Are they a leftover from your wedding? Too cute!
my gf, alison, made them specifically for our wedding. she is awesomess. and for us to keep afterwards! no way im going to toss away her hard work. she copied me the instructions and i will post them later on. =) thanks to her!
The food looks delicious, but I am just so jealous with the luxury of cooking dinner being something SPECIAL for your anniversary. My husband has NO IDEA how spoiled he that he now expects me to cook dinner totally from scratch for him every stinking night. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I like to cook, but I work 80+ hours/week and it’s exhausting, and I can’t imagine putting dinner on the table and him thinking it was special and sweet and worthy of a one-month anniversary treat. You are SO LUCKY, Mrs. CB!!!
Congrats on your one month anniversary! You’re food looks YUMMERS Mrs. CB 
@julieulie: dang girl ….. man you work alot and cook dinner. you are one good wifey. well it was a real treat for us bc just moved into our place and we hadnt ever fired up our new stove yet and i been dying to …. so it was real treat for us to finally put it good use. and plus we are hardly ever home … i’d love to cook way more often .. but i am lucky, mr. cb doesnt expect it and offers to help.
everything looks soooo good. my mouth is seriously drooling over the food, especially the shrimp scampi. you must be one awesome cook! congrats to your 1 month marriage! =)
You didnt set the table for 3 so I could come? Slut.
You are a hot wife. I’d totally marry you and never ever cheat on you. EVER.
My FI and I are planning on celebrating every month…a little miniversary. We’re going to eat off the good china, even if the meal is only takeout. It started out as a way to convince him that yes, we should register for the china that I love and yes we’ll use it all the time. But now I like the idea even more for sentimental reasons.
Happy 1 month!
lol to Mrs. Penguin’s comment!
I’m sooo drooling over that food too. Happy 1 month anniv to the both of you! =D
This is a spectacular idea! I think it is so important to make a big deal over small occasions, and make them into special occasions. It allows your partner to see how much you truly value your relationship, despite everyday mundanities taking much of your attention.
I totally forgot to mention! What we are doing for our one month anniversary is eating a piece of cake each month. We have a HUGE gigantic top layer of cake — WAY more than we could eat in one sitting. So, we cut it into 12 giant slices (really, it was a huge top layer), and every month on the 25th we eat a piece as a way to celebrate the month-iversary for the first year. It’s a fun way to celebrate! The only downside is that so far, my husband will be on call on our month-iversary for the first three months. Boo. Oh well, more cake for me! Ha!
Ok…so I need to know how you made the bacon wrapped scallops please.
Mmm… good-lookin’ spread!
FI and I both LOVE to cook, so we frequently have hold dinner dates in. We can put together a meal better than you can get in most restaurants, plus we have the fun of preparing it together. The only bummer is doing the dishes at the end of a big date! 
@MayGrad: I’m glad you liked. To be honest, I totally winged it. What you need (or I got) …. Lean Bacon, toothpicks, scallops, salt and pepper and honey.
Heat oven to 350, wrap half slice or enough to go around scallops, skewer with toothpick to secure. Lay on baking sheet of foil, put salt and pepper over all the scallops. Place in over, about 5 - 7 mins or so, flip over and cook another 5 minutes til done. Take it out of oven and brush honey over scallops. (time of cooking depends on the size of your scallops, so play by ear and wash it.)
good luck, hope you enjoy.
Congratulations on your first month! Your dinner looks fabulous - especially the scallops! Are they easy to make?
Continue to celebrate to keep things spicy - it really works!
@Wifey: super easy to make - the recipe/ingredients are listed about in the comment. =) have fun!
