In Love With A Kitchen

Hi Guys… thought I’d give you a peak into our kitchen…

I went from this kitchen in our old condo….

To this… can you say Cabinet Heaven?

We have some minor work to do:  painting & installing an oven above the microwave but other than that I love it!

Dinner was simple, but definitely not plain…

Baked chicken using my convection oven speed bake feature ~ love it!  Then I made quinoa for the first time and fell in love… love the texture & nutritional stats :)   I also chopped a fresh green pepper, zucchini, onion, fresh garlic and sauteed it with 1 T EVOO, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.  Seriously, I could have eaten 10 plates of those veggies!

Sorry for the sporadic posts lately, I’ll get back in the routine soon!

    Wow, talk about a makeover! All that cabinet space is awesome.
    I recently tried quinoa for the first time and liked it, too. It kind of reminded me of couscous…but much healthier!

    Love the kitchen! Is that granite or quartz? I want to redo our counters this summer.

    How did you make the quinoa – with water only? Did it have much flavor on its own?

    • Lindsay says:

      Allison ~ My countertops are granite :) Yeah I just used water to make the quinoa, I liked it plain but my hubby had to add some garlic powder to it because it really doesn’t have much flavor on its own :)

    I am so jealous of your new kitchen!!!!!!!!!!!! I live in an apartment, and my kitchen is half the size of the one in your old place, and I have to share it with my roommate!!!! It’s sad because I LOVE my apartment, but the kitchen is the ONLY thing about the place that I hate!!!! :-(

    I can’t wait to see the rest of your new digs!!!! Where in PA did you move? I wasn’t even sure where you lived before!

    Yum quinoa is amazing. I think of it as a healthier cous cous.

    WOW that is a kitchen! Not gonna lie, I’m a little jealous…but then again I’m jealous of most homeowners because that’s a big dream (goal?) of mine. Can’t wait to hear more about renovations, new appliances/furniture, etc :-)

    April 3, 2009 at 12:57 am
  • erinbee says:

    that kitchen is amazing. i want.

    however..an oven above the
    microwave. that seems sort of
    ambitious. even for you lassie!

    whoa! first of all, GORGEOUS kitchen!! i’m so jealous! the kitchen in my current apartment is like your old one, but with slightly less counter space.

    sauteed veggies are the best…i could eat 10 plates, too! and i am slightly obsessed with quinoa…yum!
