About my kitchen reveal:

We wanted a brighter and more functional cooking space that still felt like it belonged in our Victorian house, all on a modest DIY budget.  By changing the placement of the sink and stove and making careful use of Ikea’s cabinet and drawer options (along with several modified cabinets and custom-built pieces), we increased the useable counter and storage space and improved the organization of cooking and pantry items. We were also able to preserve several original features: we kept the bead board wall; we scavenged window trim from the basement to match the rest of the house; and we refinished the fir floors, which had been buried under several layers of other flooring.

Meet this year’s crew below, and learn more about what farm apprenticeship is.

It’s that time of the week: the time when we turn off our computers, go to the kitchen and the patio and the park, and cook something good. What’s cooking in your kitchen this weekend? I loved all the grilled pizza this week; I have one more lump of dough to grill tonight! What about you?

A few favorite posts this week…

• Some great ways to make refreshing nonalcoholic drinks. (Also, these! Yum.)
• Two popular appetizers in one.
• Make hand-washing dishes more fun — lots of good advice!
• Prep salads Sunday night.
• Been looking forward to these breakfast popsicles for weeks.
