So, Nich and I are moving into a new place this weekend. Our landlord is selling the house, and so we are moving out sooner than expected. While I am sad to leave our big house (and big yard!) behind, I am really thrilled about our new place. No more forest green countertops! I have great plans for my new kitchen (pictures to come soon). It isn’t as big as my kitchen now, but I think it will work nicely. It is bright and quaint, and I’m hoping to fix it up and make it my own. (helpful hint: I just found out that Big Lots carries Paula Dean’s line of cookware. They have dutch ovens -in olive green and pumpkin! – for $30-$40, butcher blocks, knife sets, etc. I have no idea how quality the stuff is, but it looks great!).
That being said, I won’t be cooking anytime this weekend. I’ve made a few killer recipes lately, but with all the packing I haven’t had time to post. But, be prepared…I made slow-cooker carnitas for Beyth’s birthday fiesta and it was ridiculously delicious (and easy). Recipe to come!
So, since I will be out of the kitchen for a few days, I’m going to post a recipe that I desperately want to make (and will make as soon as I have dishes that aren’t in boxes). I seriously want to eat this right now. (recipe link after the photo).
p.s. if any of you portland-ers want fresh raspberries or fresh lavender, come get it this weekend before we move! we have tons.
