Enjoying my time in the kitchen


So we have a lovely large kitchen which is a novelty for me. There's so much storage space and lots of drawers and  bench space. I love it.

It's just as well I am enjoying my kitchen because I have been doing a lot of cooking from scratch here. With the Corona Virus, and not wanting to shop too often, I am trying to rotate and use the oldest vegetables and canned stuff first.

Being at home all day, I have endeavoured to make Chris things he enjoys eating. There's nothing like the smell of a cake cooking or a soup simmering. It's important to me that I cook nourishing meals no matter whether we are isolated at home or not. 

I have some things that I haven't completed from the previous days, and hopefully my spoons will be sufficient to get the jobs done. On my to do list still are:

  1. Fold clothes from yesterday and put them away
  2. Mop the vinyl areas
  3. Cook a shepherd's pie with mashed potato and peas for dinner
I already have cleaned the toilet and done a load of washing and sorted out our weeks' worth of medication. I also have made some pumpkin soup just to keep on the stove.

By keeping a blog like this, I can see areas that I have to still do or have fallen down on. Oh yes: and to remind myself on bluer days how much I am enjoying my time in the kitchen! lol

  1. I think this is a good time in history to create comfortable space for our family to gather and to make homey meals as a special treat when so much is being cancelled and closed.

    1. I don't enjoy cooking per se, but I love to see Chris enjoy his meals. Plus I like to eat- which is a big motivator to cook! lol

  4. Nothing better than a great kitchen. Yours sounds lovely. I cook a lot. It's such a cathartic experience that totally relaxes me. I find great joy in creating dishes from scratch. Like you, my focus is on cooking nutritious wholesome meals.

    1. I am still getting used to having room to dish up meals and keep my slow cookers etc. It helps to like your kitchen... :)
