in the kitchen

Things I have made in the kitchen in the past 48 hours:

-lemon-rosemary roasted chicken
-roasted vegetables
-chicken noodle soup
-buttermilk biscuits
-raspberry scones
-jam thumbprints
-chocolate-coconut pinwheel cookies
-rum logs
-sugar cookies
-cranberry bread loaves
-homemade sesame crackers
-spinach-ham dip

-and that's hardly anything compared to what's cookin' over the weekend. Mercy, THE CALORIC CONSUMPTION!

As I shuffle about stirring things & cleaning up behind myself, I think of how extremely grateful I am for our new kitchen. Talk about a Christmas present!
