where it all happens ~ my kitchen!!


Absolutely my favorite room in our house....the kitchen!! I just love it, and I think Chad did such a great job re-modeling it himself before I even came into the picture ;) The only thing is there isn't much counter space...at all. We are hoping to sell this year, so maybe in the next house I will get a roomier kitchen...I will sure miss this kitchen tho, if & when we finally sell this house :(

I didn't make a new dish last night for dinner...but I did make my most favorite dish of 2008 for us to eat, 'Pepper Steak' located under 'beef' category & it is healthy too. It is pretty much my favorite dish to make and eat...and Chad agree's. I could probably eat it every night, and make it with chicken too! We make alot of our dinner's with Basmati rice. Recently we went to the grocery store together, and Chad mentioned we should start eating brown rice instead. Well, we compared the nutritional info and Basmati rice is still better for you...so we will keep buying & eating it ;) yummy...I turned to eating it since my last trainer put white rice in my diet, and said that was the best rice to eat with your meal. So I thought I would share that tid bit of info with you today, since I have no new dinner recipe's to share ;)

our new carpet + living room!

For Christmas this year...Chad and I got new carpet for the living area & a new coffee table + furniture for the TV. Originally we were going to get a wall mount flat screen or one that is small & sits on the TV hutch. Well after spending all that money we decided to keep our old TV (the one in the pic), and wait to get a new tv until after the superbowl is over. This one will be going in the basement, once we can get new carpet down there after the new year! We purchased the new furniture at the Pottery Barn outlet at Birch Run...love that store!!

Our red & green stockings!
Another view of the new tv hutch & the carpet! Awww our little xmas tree, which is mine from when I lived in Little Rock...it is probably time to purchase a bigger tree ;) Above the tv now hangs a huge Big Ben clock!


Our new mirror & wall decor ;) Chad and I picked this out at Graden Ridge...I just love all their wall decor, you have to really search tho, because a lot of that stuff is one of's!


Happy New Year everyone!!!
