Welcome to My Kitchen!


Since I am home now...until at least May 11th and I've cleaned just about every surface of my house and I've already been to the grocery store (at 6:30 AM...that is, by the way the best time to grocery shop, so I found out this morning while trying to get there before a bunch of other swine flu germs made it into the store!!!). I thought I'd participate in the home tour over at Kelly's Korner. My hubby did our countertops and backsplash about two years ago...I really like the way they turned out! My Kitchen is my favorite room in our house, I spend a lot of time here...




My favorite cookbook stays by the stove!!! Southern Living's: Our Best Easy Weeknight Favorites

I love these canisters!!!! I have a lot of roosters in my kitchen, so their tops are perfect! The middle jar is currently empty, but it is normally used for...what else...COOKIES!!! Maybe I'll bake some today!


This is where I do most of my prep work!(The baggie in the background has some fresh carrot-oatmeal muffins that I baked yesterday...mmmm!!)



Our kitchen table, we actually sit here to eat every night!



This is one of my favorite, goofy, pictures from our wedding..."We Love Our Sweet Potato Fries!"



I love this sign above our fridge!


It's your turn!!! Share your kitchens, if you haven't already!!!!

Your kitchen is so pretty! That is CRAZY that you are out of school for so long!
I love to grocery shop early in the morning - if I could just get up. I normally go now really, really late at night after Harper goes to bed.

It is so nice to hear from you. I saw your mom a few months ago. I hope all is well with your family. I can not believe your school is closed down until May 11th. Do you have to make all of those days up? Your kitchen looks awesome. Take care.
