When Kitchen Dreams Come True. . .

Once upon a time in a land not so far away, a young (okay, not so young) woman and a man wed. Like most newly married couples they couldn’t wait to start their life together. They received lots of fabulous gifts from friends and family. Married Couple They began with their “starter” home and gratefully accepted hand-me-down appliances to get them started. Several years passed and their family grew. Growing Family And thus was born a small little freezer cooking website as a hobby to help other busy moms out. Once A Month Mom Freezer Cooking The blog grew, and so did the once a month cooking expeditions in this tiny little “starter” home kitchen.

The refrigerator started to groan in protest over its heavy loads. Leaking water throughout meant a makeshift catch bowl was needed internally to keep ice pools from forming. There was no working ice maker, so they filled tray upon tray daily.

The oven was functional but a tad bit off temperature. And the dishwasher sounded like it was competing with the toddlers for attention.  And so the happy couple, drunk on their love and their small family of four, pined for a time when they might be able to have “big people” appliances. And the hobbiest blogger turned small business woman struggled through massive dishes to bring good treats to all that wished to indulge. Until one day, the appliance fairy godmother called with some exciting news! With the wave of a wand and a click of a url; this bloggers dreams were going to come true. Bright, shiny, new, state-of-the art appliances as only she had seen in far off places before. All hers. Well, theirs. And even though this blogger is about to enter into kitchen paradise, rest assured that this story is not yet over. As time carries on you will see, hear and maybe even touch these beauties. You will get to see what happily ever after looks like.

  1. Congratulations on your new appliances! I figured that’s what you were doing in the pictures, I had the joy of the appliance giant visit my house shortly after we moved in, and found random toys and food bits under the broken stove from 1973. Enjoy!

    1. Believe me, I have been in the jealousy shoes. It is kind of weird to “brag” about it telling others but I am so excited I can’t help myself.

  4. Hi,
    I loved our Skinny Monkey cookies and they fit well into the low glycemic eating plan I recommend on my health and fitness blog. May I reprint your recipe and the picture if I give you credit and list your Web site? Found you on Pinterest, by the way. Thanks!
