Life: What’s in my kitchen

March 5, 2019 by Shari

Welcome to March – the final month of us being a family of five. April will most probably see us welcome baby number four into the family – although, babies come when babies want to come.

I know this because Mr Moo was due in March and came in April (two weeks late). The Little Dude was due in October and came in September (two weeks early). And Z man was due in October and came in October (the day before his due date).

I look forward to maternity leave – although I doubt that it will be the ‘break’ that most people at work deem it to be. I look forward to the opportunity to get back into baking (and begin my own sourdough journey). I hope to be able to create some delicious treats

If you are interested in seeing what other lovely bloggers have in their kitchen this month, then head over to Sherry Mackay, from Sherry’s Pickings.

We are whipping up these Carrot Cake bliss balls for school lunchboxes. These are a delicious nut free treat that can go into preschool and primary school lunchboxes without a worry.

Kitchen Remodeling

When planning a kitchen remodel, there are several factors to consider in order to plan and design a kitchen that best fits the needs of you and your family. Design elements such as the layout, workflow, lighting and renovation materials all play a huge role in the efficiency, quality, and functionality of your kitchen space.

The Layout

When planning your kitchen remodeling project, think about layout, function, and efficiency. No matter what size or shape kitchen you design, it’s essential to create a kitchen layout that makes cooking easier and more efficient.

Maximize the Space

When designing your new kitchen, take advantage of every square inch of space. If you’re renovating your existing kitchen, you can gain space with taller overhead cabinets, corner cabinets, and built-in storage racks. If you’re adding on to your house and expanding the size of your kitchen, your options are endless.

Create a Good Workflow

When planning the placement of your refrigerator, sinks and other major appliances, create a convenient, easy path between them to maximize prep time and cooking efficiency. Make sure you have adequate electrical plugs scattered throughout the kitchen, so you can easily plug in small appliances when you need them.

A design element like exposed storage and cabinets is a great way to open up your kitchen and make it feel larger. Sometimes your kitchen may seem dark and cluttered when closed cabinets overpower the space. Opening up a few of those cabinets can freshen things up a bit while still being efficient for everyday use.

Open Spaces. Functional Kitchens

Appliances for Your Kitchen Renovation

New appliances make up a big portion of kitchen renovation costs, but they are often necessary to give an old kitchen updated style and energy-efficient features. When replacing your old appliances, look for new ones that are energy efficient. Not only can they make your kitchen tasks easier and faster, they can save you hundreds of dollars each year on your home energy costs. Look for appliances with Energy Star labels to maximize energy efficiency. Kitchens are one of the most maintenance need rooms ono the residential properties, save both time and budget by contracting professionals like the ones at reliablewindowandsiding.net.

Today’s state-of-the-art appliances offer homeowners many advantages in the kitchen. Stoves and ovens, microwaves, and small appliances can now be programmed for cooking times and on-off cycles with a computer or smartphone from any remote location. Refrigerators can be programmed to let you know when foods are expired or need to be replaced. You can even program your grocery list through your refrigerator. Just imagine the endless possibilities and joy of cooking with these innovative appliances in your kitchen.

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
