Lauren's NEW Kitchen

We moved about 2 weeks ago (hence the absence - packing, unpacking, no internet for over a week...) and we are enjoying settling into our new home.

The kitchen is relatively unpacked and organized, but I don't feel like it's "ours" yet. I have some ideas for personalizing, and I look forward to really feeling truly at home. Right now, though, when I cook, I run around the kitchen like a chicken with its head cut off because I can't seem to remember where I decided to keep stuff.

Soon, though, we'll be set... and maybe I'll post a "tour" of my kitchen. I always enjoy seeing those!

Great kitchen! I especially like the island in the middle and the fact that the sink is embedded underneath the stone surface. I am not quite sure that the place of the microwave is above the stove (in our kitchen we've put the hood there). The huge window is amazing I wish I could have one in my kitchen. The hardwood floors are really beautiful and I (secretly) envy you for the ginormous fridge you have.
You obviously live in a house - the room is so spacious. Our kitchen is somewhat the same size, but it is quite different when you live in an apartment...
Again - congratulations and best wishes from Bulgaria.

Lauren 101

Before my wedding in 2003, my idea of cooking was Kraft mac and cheese. My mother and my mother-in-law even left me several boxes of the blue box on my counter the day we returned from our honeymoon. I believe a few showed up in the wishing well at my bridal shower, too.

Once I became a Mrs, however, I figured I'd need to step it up in the kitchen.

I rarely prepared anything from scratch, though; it was frozen stuff chicken and rice in a pouch all the way.

About a year (and 20lbs) later, I decided that something needed to change in the kitchen. I went on a diet and lost the weight, but knew I needed to lose the habits too.

Armed with Rachael Ray cookbooks and the internet, I slowly began to expand my repertoire. I joined an online cooking forum and subscribed to about eleventy billion cooking blogs.

Cooking remains a challenge, however, as two sweet little boys joined our family over the last few years. Coupled with my full time job, I look for meals that are healthy and easy.

I also discovered a love for photography along the way, and while I'm about as unprofessional behind the camera as they come, I really enjoy honing my skills on my dinner - mainly because it can't run away like my two wild boys can.

I love maintaining this blog, and I hope you like visiting.
