Our home, circa 1980, came complete with a dated kitchen. Its features included ugly chipped cream tile countertops with dark brown grout (which looked anything but sanitary even after hours of cleaning), a refrigerator placement which didn't permit the door to fully open, cabinets which were difficult to completely utilize, ineffective lighting, and unncessary walls which didn't allow for today's more desired open floor plan. After hours of toiling over a couple of months (the true meaning of "sweat equity"), 2009 brought a new kitchen ready to be christened. The new kitchen complete with warm cherry cabinets, expansive quartz countertops, and a much more user friendly floor plan, furthered my desire to cook. A bit of post-Christmas holiday boredom then led to the idea of a food blog for 2010. The goal is to share my passion for preparing good food, while having the opportunity to road test new creations to share with others.
What a terrific idea for a blog! It will be great to see all of the photos and recipes. Love the blog name too!!

I would want to cook in that kitchen too! Did Steve help you design the site? It looks amazing! Not to mention how delicious the food looks. I can't wait to see and hear more!
