The best laid plans...

Ok, so we didn't really stick to our meal plan very well last week. We did have leftover brisket and I made the beer-braised bratwurst and sauerkraut, which lasted two nights, but everything else got pushed aside. I have been ridiculously busy with school, and haven't been able to find a whole lot of motivation to do much else. Hopefully this week will be better.

Monday: spaghetti with green beans and herbed bread

Tuesday: chicken & avocado quesadillas, cilantro lime rice and chips & queso

Wednesday: Rosemary-Potato frittata and fruit

Thursday: Chicken soup Florentine

Friday: beans & cornbread

Saturday: Roasted garlic Crockpot chicken, Potatoes Provencal, herbed bread, and green beans

Sunday: Chicken Cordon Bleu bake, squash, green beans, carrots

My new kitchen!

So, we recently moved to our new home! I am truly loving it. We have so much more space, and it is so nice to be able to have the dogs in the backyard and not have to worry about them destroying anything. It's also good for them to be able to run and play. I love everything about our new place, but my favorite part of the house, by far, is my new, wonderful, amazing, HUGE kitchen! Check it out!


I am absolutely in LOVE with my new kitchen! It is such a massive change from the previous kitchen I had to work with. The kitchen in our old apartment was a tiny galley kitchen with very little storage space and even less work space. It was overflowing with kitchen supplies and tools, and there was no room to prepare dinner. Here is a pic to show you the old kitchen:


I am so thankful to be out of the tiny kitchen! I actually have space for all of my kitchen tools and appliances! I even have a whole section of counter space just for my mixer and baking. It will be so much easier now to prepare dinner, and Ryan and I can even be in the kitchen at the same time without feeling like we've been stuffed into a pack of sardines! I am so excited to be able to make many wonderful dinners in my new kitchen!
