Kitchen Magic

I love to cook and creating Kitchen Magic is something my family appreciates. I get tired of eating the same foods all the time, therefore I try to mix it up as much as I can. I try new recipes all the time. Most of the time they work amazingly great. Sometimes however, it is something we just didn’t like even though it came out perfectly. On those days we either choke it down, or end up ordering out. It doesn’t happen often though.

I tried a new breakfast casserole recipe a couple of weeks ago and they absolutely loved it. The Kitchen Magic was definitely their that day. I had to prep it the night before and let it sit in the fridge over night, which was great because all I had to do was pop it into the oven the next morning.  I think I will make it again next weekend as well.

New spice rack

I am so happy. I bought a lovely new spice rack for the kitchen. My old one was just not enough anymore to handle what I needed and wanted to store spices in. I needed a larger one to accommodate all of my spices. When you first start out, you don’t really know what you will need, but as time goes along your needs grow. I have out grown a great many things in my kitchen. The wall spice rack was just one of them.

I am slowly upgrading my kitchen, little by little. Its a good thing that kitchen spice racks are not very expensive with all of the remodeling I have been doing this year. I seem to be constantly shopping for the house lately. I don’t mind though because my house looks amazing now. I am so very proud of what I have done here and so are the kids. We are much happier now that we have started making this house a home that we can be proud of.

Still working on it

I am still working on my remodeling of the house. I have so much I want to do still. I am working on it as diligently as I possibly can, with what resources I have and believe it or not, it is coming along nicely. I will be happy when it is all finished, so I can relax for a while before I start my next project. I am not sure what that will be yet though.

This kitchen remodeling job is taking a little longer then I thought it would, because I have changed it so much. Well, changed my mind about what I want so much is more like it. There are so many ways to do your kitchen that every time I find what I think I want, something else catches my eye and I change it again. I do have to stop that though because I need it finished already. No matter what I will be happy in the end because I have the satisfaction of knowing I did this myself.

New spice rack

I am so happy. I bought a new spice rack for my kitchen. My old one just seemed to fall apart. I seem to be a bit hard on my spice racks for some reason, but to be honest, I do a lot of cooking. I have a large family and we get together a lot on the weekends. I am constantly cooking food for one family get together or another. Add my friends get together’s and I am always in the kitchen.

You would think that kitchen spice racks would hold up better then they have, but maybe this new one from a different company will. I certainly hope so. Then again, I have kids and they like to cook for themselves sometimes too. That is actually how the last one broke. My new one is made of stainless steel, so I am confident that it will last a long while. I have instructed the children to be more careful of course, but then I do that all the time and it usually doesn’t help much. They are a rowdy bunch.

Totally redone

My brother owns his own contracting company and I haven’t been to his office in a long time. I really haven’t had a reason to go over that way, but he has been raving about the new look for his office, so I went to see what all the fuss was about. It was amazing. I totally love what he did with it. He found these stainless steel tiles to use on the walls about halfway up and then put glass block above that. I didn’t even know they made stainless steel tiles. I honestly didn’t believe him when he said that he had put them in. I thought he was pulling my leg.

I wonder if I could incorporate that into my kitchen somewhere? Maybe I could put it as the back of the stove. You ladies know what I am talking about. That wall behind your stove that gets all of the splatter from cooking is what I am thinking about changing. Stainless steel tile would really look good there and would be so easy to clean and I wouldn’t have to worry about scrubbing paint off the wall when I clean it. I am going to love that.

Aunt Phyllis

Well my Aunt Phyllis is looking for Toronto contractors to help do some remodeling on her house. Since she and my Uncle split up a few years ago, the house has been steadily falling apart on her without a man to help with repairs. The Toronto kitchen contractors can remodel her kitchen entirely instead of having a handy man do repairs. I think it is a great idea so that she doesn’t have to worry about constantly having someone come fix stuff for her.

She has also had a few problems in her bathroom, so has decided to redo it as well. The Toronto bathroom contractors she found have given her a good price on it, with a whole new bathroom as well. Her new bathroom will include a shower stall instead of a tub, with rails so she doesn’t fall. Since she is getting older she is worried that one day she might have this problem, so is preparing ahead of time. I feel much better with this knowledge, as the family has worried about her being up there with no other family around. She has friends, but it is not the same. This is a very good thing.
