kitchen

(cool story about why we live here)

I have a love/hate relationship with this kitchen.

+LOVE the open shelving and the vintage wallpaper. 

-HATE the tile. I don't know what the previous owners were thinking. It confuses me. I look down and I'm like,"OH! I'm outside again...."

+LOVE the old fridge. We had to get rid of it a few weeks ago because it was leaking. BOO. 

-HATE the lack of counter space. I can slice like...a carrot and then I have to clean up and start on a tomato. It takes me an hour to make a salad.

+LOVE the gas stove! 

I bought this box of vintage reading cards a long time ago, and it has a bunch of cute pictures I will eventually frame. For now, masking tape will do. 

I love my vintage Coffee tin.

Blurry picture. Found the Song of the Gout at a thrift store. It cracks me up! My good friend Janice painted the ladies on the beach. 

The old fridge. I miss it. :(

This window leads out to the laundry room. I thought about getting little curtains, but the I need all the light I can get in the kitchen. So I just deal with the water spots on the window.

Oh Boy!

Gnocchi with Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto & Sausage

i was introduced to gnocchi by my MIL. in fact, i was introduced to a lot of yummy foods by her, like borscht. mmmmmm....borscht.....

-anyways-

this has become one of my favorite go to meals when i have little time to spend on making dinner. 

(i always have these ingredients in my kitchen for one of those nights)

i DID make this recipe up, but thats not saying much since its so simple

Depending on the size of your family, you may want to double this:

1- package of whole wheat gnocchi

1- 8 oz jar of Classico Sun-dried Tomato Pesto sauce

1-package Hillshire Farms Turkey Lil Smokies

Cook Gnocchi per directions on package

In a seperate pot, heat pesto and sausages, then stir in gnocchi

Serve with a side of veggies. (i like the microwavable steam bags)

ENJOY!
