We have some really, really exciting news to share–the sister husband site to Chris Loves Julia has just launched and it is appropriately titled Julia Loves Chris.

I have been nudging Chris to write a food blog for a long time, and then recently–he came up with the idea himself. I pounced and the coding and designing began again.  It makes sense really.  Chris cooks dinner every night over here.  And not just dinner–like, really really good food.  It’s his passion. It’s one of his degrees. Honestly, we wish we could invite every one of you over for a meal, but this will kind of be the next best thing.

So while this blog will continue to share updates as we renovate and redecorate our home, Julia Loves Chris will house all things food related–written by Chris, the culinary master around here.  And hey, I love him for it.

Hop on over there now to read this morning’s post about the the pan-seared halibut with coconut curry broth he made the other night. It would be great to make for date night this weekend!
