We alternately love this and are completely paralyzed by the thought of which ONE picture we'd pick to stare at while cooking every single day. A great sunset? Or a great-grandpa Sal? (That's what we imagine this guy being named, by the way.) Either way, it's a cool idea that's not too difficult to execute. More

This week I have been showing the special projects I did in my rental kitchen this past year to make it a little more beautiful and functional. I transformed a dark closet into a pantry, and I lightened up the kitchen itself with a good old-fashioned paint job. Now comes the last project, and the one I'm proudest of: A breakfast nook makeover. From dingy camper-style to my favorite spot in the house... read on to see what we did! More

During these last two weeks of the Kitchen Cure we are encouraging you to think about doing some sort of project in your kitchen. Hang a shelf, or a picture, or replace a worn-out appliance. Here's one example of a major project I did in my kitchen this past winter: A fresh paint job! Painting the kitchen is definitely a messy, time-consuming project, but with a little organization it can go by fast, and the results can be so rewarding. More

During this week of the Kitchen Cure we are encouraging all the Cure-takers to restock their kitchens, but also to take on one small kitchen project. From hanging a shelf to painting a wall, this is just a project that will beautify and improve your kitchen. So I am sharing a few projects I did in my own kitchen this past year. The first: Converting a dingy, shallow hall closet into a bright and useful pantry. More

I had my first experience making frybread last night and I have a feeling it's going to become a problem for me. In the past few days I noticed a few different frybread recipes pop up and they looked so good, I decided to try it for myself. Not only was it delicious, but it's technically a quickbread that requires no rise time, so I went from mixing to frying to eating in 15 minutes. More

The artfully illustrated coffee cups on the right are from Brew Nerds, a coffee shop in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. We think they're funny. If you've got some paper cups in the house, you could doodle one for a family member. Maybe a creative way to wake up Dad on Father's Day? More

No, it's not quite cherry season yet! I took those cherries I found in my freezer over the weekend and decided to make a mini-batch of cherry preserves for my morning oatmeal and afternoon toast. Two jars of preserves, in fact. But here's my real confession: this was my first time canning. Ever. And guess what I discovered? More

With the Kitchen Cure coming to a close, we've hopefully shed some weight from our cabinets, but one of the things that can still be bothersome is the physical space that specific serving pieces take up. We love tiered serving trays as much as the next, so to keep more than one in a small space, try diy-ing a few collapsible, customizable creations! More

If an anti-fatigue mat or carpet tile squares are out of reach budget wise (don't worry they are for us too), try this inexpensive and extra-tough solution. Your kitchen sees its share of messes and foot traffic, so finding something that can take a beating while your pocketbook doesn't is a win-win situation! More

After our initial homebrewing success, we decided we wanted to step up our game! Brewer's Best has a line of homebrew kits perfect for newbies like us who want a bigger challenge than those straight extracts, but aren't quite ready venture out on our own with an all-grain recipe. We chose an imperial pale ale and got to brewing! More
