It’s hard to believe we have already been in our new place for over a month! During that time, I’ve spent a fair amount of time organizing my kitchen – making sure everything is perfectly placed for easy cooking!
So here it is, my small urban kitchen in all its glory.
Frequently used cookbooks and the ceramic canister I use to store my onions and potatoes out of sight.
I love having salt and pepper easily accessible in magnetic canisters above my stovetop.
My new Cuisinart coffee machine and Vitamix always ready for quick use! I recently bought a holder to hold my paper towels on the wall so that they are off the counter and am totally loving the counter space that it saves!
We even installed a knife magnet above the sink to hold all our knives – goodbye knife block!
I bought this tall wooden table from a friend of mine who was going to sell it at her garage sale! With a little sanding and new stain, the table was good as new and now matches our cherry cabinets. I’ve always wanted a hanging pot rack, but with our tall cement ceilings, it simply wasn’t possible in the new place. So Will installed a couple rods underneath our kitchen table so I could hang my pots underneath. This has been the best space saver yet and I love the easy access to all my pots and pans!
Getting organized…
I keep all my different salts out on the kitchen table ready to garnish any dish. Recently I’ve got Himalayan Pink salt, Hawaiian Black salt and a salt that my friend Sarah brought back for me from Paris! We aren’t exactly sure what type of salt it is, but I think it has lavender in it!
Bon appetite!

Roasted Whole Chicken with Chili Maple Glaze
00If you’ve ever roasted a whole chicken or turkey, you know that the secret is in the brine. Brining a chicken not only adds flavor and produces a delicious juicy bird, but also tenderizes free-range pastured birds as they can often be tough. There are number of different ingredients and spices you can use in your brine, but I usually keep mine simple – salt, sugar, and cider vinegar. How to...

Friday Night Pizza
00Pizza is one of the easiest dinners you can make – and no I am not talking about a frozen pizza or calling up the delivery guy. If Friday night is typically pizza night in your household, making your own homemade pizza can be a simple healthy swap! I make homemade pizza at least once a week for a quick dinner on the weekend. I love that I can throw all of my left over vegetables, cheese,...
