Wow Chow Cooking

*snicker* I’m on a spree, a tin-sign-hanging spree. I’ve decided to fill my kitchen walls with tin signs, usually referring to cooking, cleaning or wifely duties in general. This one just came in the mail yesterday. I love it!!! HAHA!!! I also got this one. We don’t drink Coca-Cola (or any soda, actually, except ginger [...]

Do you have an area in your kitchen that holds your recipes, papers, etc? I created a small nook in the kitchen–totally on the fly– and I’m going to be storing my recipes and such there. I’m pleasantly surprised at how well the area turned out. It’s more of an “everything” station. I created it [...]

Spaghetti may not sound like it’s such a special dinner… but we haven’t had ANY pasta meal in soooo long! Yahoo! My daughters put together an incredible pasta meal last week. The FIRST dish we cooked in the new kitchen was spaghetti! And look! We even got to sit out in the DINING ROOM to [...]

My daughter likes to wear aprons. I was never much of an apron wearer, although I probably should wear them. I always make such a disaster in the kitchen (as I do with everything). I know some bloggers who actually MAKE aprons– the prettiest little things– and sell them online. Is there really a market [...]

I created a spice drawer fir the new kitchen. Like it? I love it! I sometimes get a nagging thought about it, as if the space could be better used for something else besides holding plastic bottles that could stand on their own. But I REALLY like the spices in the drawer, it’s so convenient. [...]

Like it? Sorry the photos didn’t turn out so great. I haven’t had any time to read through the manual for the camera, can you believe it? I even got a DVD tutorial for it, and haven’t had a moment to watch it. It’s been SO BUSY. I’ve never been so busy in my entire [...]

It’s a (long) work in progress, but we finally moved in to the new kitchen! Yay! I think we forgot how to cook, though. We’re still heating up hotdogs in the microwave, and eating raw veggies and sliced cheese with crackers. :-p My daughter made some hamburgers on the stove top the other day, and [...]

After existing on snack foods and hamburgers for four months, I am hankering for some real cooked food. We have been thinking about where we will be placing stuff in the new kitchen. It’s so exciting! But the cabinets we got are a bit narrow… and we were used to the very wide (and ugly) [...]

That may not sound like bloggable news to you, but it sure is to me!! We haven’t been able to boil water on the stove in FOUR months. Today was the day, baby! It was like getting new toys, I tell you what! In case you have no idea what I am babbling about– we [...]

Ugh. New York State is experiencing one of the worst heatwaves in a long time. This is Day 4 of 90+ degree temperatures, with today forecast to be the hottest of all. No real relief until Saturday, and then the heat is back for Monday. WE’RE THE FROZEN CHOSEN! We don’t want any heatwaves!!! I [...]
