Cheese Ravioli with Spinach, Kielbasa, and Pearl Onions

Before my husband heads out the door for work, I always make sure that he has his tupperware container in hand, full of food that will satisfy his dinner cravings. Instead of eating out every night that he works, I love making sure that he has a homemade dinner every night of the week.

During the day, I usually take a break from work and make us lunch. At that time, I make the most use out of my time in the kitchen and whip him up a dinner that I hope he will love. In order to do this, I always make sure I have the following items in my kitchen to help me prepare dinners that will taste great reheated:

• Chicken
• Marinade
• Frozen Vegetables (Peas, Pearl Onions, Spinach, and Corn)
• Pasta (Fresh and Dried)
• Pasta Sauce
• Rice
• Couscous
• Salad and Fixings
• Sausage
• Kielbasa

With those items on hand in my kitchen, it is incredibly simple to prepare a homemade dinner for him in 30 minutes or less. After preparing him dinner, I package everything up in his tupperware container, put a fork (and sometimes knife) with a napkin in a bag, and feel great knowing that instead of eating fast food, my husband will sit down to a warm, homecooked meal even if we have to eat dinner apart from each other.

The other day, I was perusing my "husband dinner must-haves" in my kitchen and planned a pasta dinner for him that was full of vegetables and meat. The text message that I received later on that night was all the thanks I needed for preparing him dinner that day, "Dinner was excellent, as always."

Preparing him dinner every night of the week that he has to work is a simple way to say "I love you" because as we all know, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach.
