Time for a look at how it all turned out. Like a child, this kitchen truly seems as if it's always been here. And I take that to mean it fits us and suits our house. Thanks for all your support during the long, long gestation period!

Spotting similar cabinets in a magazine got this whole kitchen started. Thanks for the inspiration!

So handy to have pepper, olive oil, and salt at the ready.

Whatcha got cooking?

A quick update for today: Since our upstairs kitchen is still functional, I'm trying to cook as often as possible now. On today's menu: Chocolate-marbled banana bread and turkey rice soup.

They both look delicious, and I feel so thrifty. The turkey came from a turkey breast carcass I'd shoved in the freezer a few weeks ago after we ate most of it for dinner.

There's nothing like the smell of something simmering and something baking at the same time. Mmmm ...

In the mood to bake? Here's a link to the banana bread recipe. It's from Cooking Light, via my friend Allison:

(I usually bake it for an hour, not an hour and 15 minutes. I've also substituted light sour cream for the yogurt on occasion.)
