Now, I know y’all want a little something sweet today. And I have chocolate-malt sandwich cookies for you. But, first I decided to invite you into my kitchen for a behind-the-scenes. Cookies coming up real soon. And some cheesy chicken. Maybe even some black bean dip….or something Japanese….
Are you ready?
I don’t have a big, modern kitchen.
I don’t have a dishwasher or garbage disposal. Unless you count my husband and dogs…
But what I do have is just enough to keep me busy and this site full of a little something most every day.
Welcome to my galley:
This is where I get all domestic.
Yesterday, I got two smaller binders. The one big one was getting too complicated. Now I have a blue for me site and a yellow for bills and lists pertaining to home. So, although this pic is just 2 days old-it’s officially outdated.
yeah. I know. slacker.
I keep my 25lbs of flour in a bin in the fridge in the garage…and refill my cheap container regularly. I keep meaning to replace the “odd” containers so they all match…I have been slacking on that, too
man, I need more cabinet space…trust me:
woah! Tons o stuff. Seems like no matter what- pasta can never look tidy. It’s not it’s nature.
I need a bigger spice cabinet. Agree?
and…
do you have a “stack” too? Oh good.
mmm….taters
I am such a nerd. Now I am telling the world. Cookbook nerds unite!
bit, honestly I have never cooked on gas. Or, with gas…is it on or with?
Your kitchen looks so organized, and galley kitchens can be very efficient!! For the first 17 years of my marriage and 5 kids (at that time) we had no dishwasher or disposal, and we did just fine! Great post!
I love it!
I have a small kitchen too. So I totally feel you. However, I do have a dishwasher and garbage disposal!
Your kitchen is so neat and tidy! Mine has more floor space, but fewer cabinets and no room between the upper cabinets and the counter; my appliances only fit on top of our portable dishwasher (my only real prep space). My sink doesn’t have a divider or a disposal. And I think we have the same stove!
ya truly enjoyed,..:-)
I love that you have a bookcase in your kitchen. What a wonderful storage idea! Oh, and the “tickets” came. Thank you! Can’t wait to go out on a date with Mr. Sister!
I like it! Clean and tidy is the best way to go. We have the same Professional culinary chef book. Mine was a gift from Ray for Christmas
I love this tour!!! You are so organized and your kitchen seems like just a lovely place. Agreed with no shoes policy!
I love this post and the tour! and I LOVE how organized you are! I am such a clean freak so seeing such a tidy and organized kitchen just makes me oh so happy
This is too cute! I am jealous of how big your kitchen is, but not jealous that you dont have a dishwasher… I cant believe it! You are so organized!
I love your kitchen! If you wanna see a galley kitchen I’ll show you mine.. it makes yours look like a mansion!! If the oven is open no one else can walk by! I’m in the process of organizing my cookbooks like yours
I actually really enjoyed our post! You are so organized… That lasagna looks fantastic!
Yay for cookbook nerds! I have waaay too many of them myself. Thanks for the tour!
I loved how you shared your true kitchen. Thanks for being real! I am SO excited about the lasagna recipe….I have NEVER made lasagna! I just never tried! I thought it would be too much for my husband and 2 little boys to eat….what do I do with the rest of it? Thanks for sharing!
This kitchen tour has been fun and entertaining! I really like how everything seems to have its own place, even your favorite brown shoes and your camera!
Cool digs…:D You inspired me to post some pics of my kitchen the other day, too. Find them on the Toad Hill Gardens page. I have at least that many spices…no, never enough…:D More books than I care to admit to…although people keep giving them to me, there is always one that I cannot live without (like right now it is Baking with Julia
and I love the antique ones…what can I say??? And I love the whimsical touch of comic animals (chickens and toads) about the kitchen. Clutter is a sign of creativity…to me! Just needs to be clean, organized and current, which is actually quite the challenge. Love your idea of buying 25 lbs. of flour and keeping it in the cooler and then transferring to the kitchen as needed…never have enough flour or sugar!
your crazy! nah ur amazing! i for one would and will never i reckon do a post like this?!?! Why? cuz my kitchen is no where NEAR as organised as yours! Loved this post i now feel like ive stopped over and had a cuppa with u a piece of fairy bread LOL and chatted to you while u were cooking!
This tour was so much fun. I love seeing your world. So now when I read your posts, I will know exactly where your got all of your ingredients! I have stacks of cookbooks too, way too many!
Small kitchens of the world unite !!! Living in Paris small kitchens are the norm and well I can understand your pain at times, but they do make for nice cozy places
Thanks for letting me visit 
I have a “STACK” too! That’s hilarious! Fun post! Thanks!
[...] Anyway, remember my kitchen tour? [...]
I love your site. I think I might have done what you do now! I just don’t think that I had the guts to go up against Betty Crocker, Better Homes & Garden or Julia back whenI was your age. At 64, yes I could, but maybe not with your style (?) This is our do it yourself Christmas. Yes, times have caught up with the Baby Boomers and they are hard. Our dream home of a 3 level log home, designednby me is realized and am happy to listen to you..
Wo doesn’t love looking at peoples kitchens…I like closets too and laundry roms. Your cabinets are so organized, mine could use a revamp. Thanks for the peek.
