The new GE appliances have all been purchased and the new floor has been selected. Only a few more steps until our kitchen set is complete and ready for shooting our own COOKING SHOW!
Our current kitchen has the square footage, but was clearly designed by someone who never cooks. So, we've replaced our appliances with a new line from General Electric - new refrigerator, stove, microwave and the dishwasher is being delivered soon.
Next, the floor will be ripped up and a new mega-island and flooring will be installed. I'm in the middle of the dream coming to reality and it feels really good.
Realizing that my kitchen will be fairly unusable during construction, I am searching for all my crock pot recipes - and here is a favorite that can be altered according to the "flavor of the night".
In addition to being versatile, depending on the size of your crock pot, you could have leftovers for lunches - or feed a crowd of hungry kitchen remodelers!
