My
favorite thing in the kitchen is the appliance garage! I can store
several appliances right now on my counter-top and pull down the shade
to hide them from view when they are not in use.
As
for the inside of the cabinets, organization is not a word I would
use. Like items are grouped together, so I am off to a good start. But
I need to buy baskets, bins, etc to ensure that everything has a place
and can be found easily.
And, then I shopped for food (with a beautiful grocery list done for me - see blog below) and cooked a dinner entree ;-)
I am not a cook.
When Hubby and I lived in our old home, we ALWAYS ate take-out. We rarely cooked our own food, especially over the past two years. I never learned to cook, so while I am reading organizing and cleaning blogs, I also happened to find the blog that spoke right to me:

She offers 5 dinner menus each week for the cost of $1.25 per week. Her pdf files include a list of meals, preparation directions, and even a handy grocery list! Her meals are great, especially for me because this is the first time that I am truly making an effort at cooking my own food (and enjoying the idea of how much money I will save over takeout!).
Thursday dinner - breaded pork chops. Side dish was ready made mashed potatoes by Bob Evans (they are the cheapest in the grocery store and the best tasting!). Thank you to my mother-in-law who taught me about Bob Evans.
Friday, I went to court / work. I had a great time tag teaming with my replacement, Ashley. We were able to help several clients with PFA and Visitation issues.
After work, I shopped a lot in Delaware because everything is less expensive down there (and there is no tax)! I found these incredible dog beds at Costco for under $18 a piece.
On
Saturday, I took pictures of the laundry room - my Sunday project
(tonight is Mrs. New Jersey International, so there will not be a lot of
work done today).
I
also had to ensure that my husband had food, so I made meatloaf from my
free dinner menu. I cooked this and already ate one mini meatloaf. OH
MY GOSH - SO GOOD!
I did substitute regular beef for buffalo meat. Buffalo is less fattening than regular hamburger meat.
