Lovely kitchens that will inspire you

Once the weather gets chilly we spend even more time in the kitchen baking up warm goodies. So I thought it'd be appropriate to post some kitchens which get me excited for the upcoming cooking/baking season - even though I primarily just eat the food - and someone else makes it. All of these images are from our dearly departed Domino.



What do you think of the back splash and counter?



Interesting wood paneling...yay or nay?

Check out the goodies I made for mom's bday

My mom's birthday was last Monday and I decided to go out on a limb and try cooking. While I'm a tremendous fan of food, it's the making of it that alludes me. I thought I'd share my results, as I'm always proud when I manage to make something edible. The best part is that we had all of the ingredients already!

For dinner I made vegetarian tacos - instead of ground beef, I substituted lentils - packed with protein, fiber, and other delicious goodness.

mmmm...
