Giveaway Winner!! and A Complete Wreck of a Kitchen


First, lets get to the giveaway winner!! I like to do things the old fashion way, but can I just say, Man this was a lot of writing! But now for the big moment!! And the winner is!!


Congratulations Katie Eckelmann from Chicago!! So excited for you :) and I hope you get as much use out of your new Dutch Oven as I do!!


I'm afraid I don't have a recipe to post today because until today my kitchen has been a construction zone. We have been renovating/remodeling and decided to do crown molding. Well between my kitchen, family room, and master bedroom it's been nothing but work around here for the past week and, as a result,  hasn't given me much of a chance to squeeze into my kitchen and cook/bake. Here is the molding inside of my bedroom before getting painted.



And here is what my kitchen and family room looked like yesterday. I felt like I was contaminated with some disease and in an isolation bubble. Just best to get my already stir crazy kids out of the house at this point :/ But now you see why not a whole lot of baking has been going on.


And the finished molding!! Ok, so I still have some cleaning to do, and I still have to paint past my kitchen, but you get the general idea. So today, I'm getting back to some well needed time in the kitchen. I'm thinking bread today. Maybe banana. Been craving that something fierce :) Have an awesome day and I'll see you soon with some yummy recipes!!

"Reck?" I absolutely love your blog. I think you are so much fun, but I have a hard time with all the misspellings and grammatical errors! Especially since you have such a global audience and are branching out more and more. Does your blog provider offer spell check? Or do you have someone who would proofread for you? I'm sorry!! I really do enjoy this blog, but I've never seen anyone bring this to your attention. I know your other fans will have ugly things to say about me pointing it out, but I would want to know if it were me.

Also, the crown molding is beautiful!!

A woot for Katie, and aren't you cute with your paper slips. I'm charmed, truly.

(Sigh) No, your not the first, and I don't know what to tell you guys. I try. I put tons of time and work into my blog, and some errors are going to get through. Really, all that this does is make me want to stop putting myself and my work out there for peoples critiques.

Did that one negative post really cause you to throw in your hat? I truly hope that's not the case. You have a great blot going and hope to see the return of it soon, its one of the highlights of my week. Take care.
