This is such a fun kitchen! My favorite part is the amazingly cool wine ‘rack’!! Dontcha just love it? 
This space is open, colorful, modern and homey all in one!  It’s a usable space for a family, which i love.

Not all squash are created equal

Last night I discovered a new possible favorite food: SPAGHETTI SQUASH!! I’ve read so much about this winter veggie and have been aching to try it. 

It is actually quite a humorous find.  You see over the past year I have been trying to figure out how in the world these other bloggers are getting their [...]

Ina’s Granola Bars

Happy Monday!!
Thankfully the sun decided to show her beautiful face today! After 3+ days of gloomy weather it was much needed.  
This weekends forecast provided the perfect baking mood.  Several months ago I made Ina’s Granola Bars.  I made a few substantial changes and they came out hard as rocks! I had to crumble them up [...]

Kitchen Love

This perfect little kitchen screams coziness! This is my kind of kitchen! Lots of counter space yet its very cozy.  I feel often times you sacrifice coziness for counter space…in my opinion you should have the best of both worlds.  You should be able to feel all nestled in when you’re kneading dough, baking cookies and deboning [...]

Black Bean Chili

Happy Wendseday everyone! I hope your week is going well. 
I made this awesome chili over the weekend and have been enjoying it all week. 
 That’s the beauty of stews and chilis they only get better with time…much like life, I suppose.  It’s strange the older wiser you get the more aware you become of such simple [...]

You belong to me…

I would love to come home to this modern beauty. 
I just love the dark vs. bright color scheme.  I’m usually a cozy, classic white kitchen lover but this modern dark kitchen is screaming for me. 
Maybe it’s all the Twilight reading I’ve been doing as of late…….
