My "Dirty Little Secret"

Well, it isnt literly dirty, lol. I do clean it regularly....This is simply my first post of my kitchen.  Not very Romantic hugh?.......These darn roosters have taken over. I used to love um so much, now, not so much.....Hubby and i plan a "mini makeover" in here before summer. I thought my friends would enjoy seeing it in all its rooster glory..The makeover will include removing the border and painting the walls, a new chandy, new knobs for the cabinets, which i plan on shabby-ing up a bit more, new curtains, possibly new countertops, and saying bye bye to most of the roosters. A few of them are precious to me, and a few are valuable pieces, so ile have to make them work in the new decor..........

These are limited edition prints, keeper for sure, but ile have to do something with the frames.....

This guy is an old "TV light", so he's a keeper too.

This lil guy is an old Avon bottle, he's fun and one of my favorites..........

This one will also be staying, he's very old, and ive never seen another like him........

This one over the door frame..........he's outta here!

Last, but not least, this guy will be staying, he has a hole all the way thru him, i believe he was a lamp in a past life, lol.....Maybe he will be again?

The eating area where they all look down at u.....Im keeping the shelf.......just not all the darn roosters on it........

Yes, that is a baseball cap in the potato/onion basket............men. Say bye bye to the roosters, and stay tuned for hopeless romance coming to a kitchen near u, lol..........Bonnie

The Other Side

Since posting the completed Romantic eating area, ive received a few emails asking about the other side of the room.....I purposely didnt include the china cabinet, as i hadnt put the glass back in it after painting and i still am not happy with the knobs.....So i got right on it and put the glass back in , but ile keep on the hunt for the right knobs.............just thought u may wanna see "the other side" of the room. Enjoy the pics...............Bonnie

Another Cheater's Meal

It's about time for another one of my "No granite counter tops required" fast, easy cheatin' meals......I dont get off work til 7pm most nights, so fast, tasty meals are a must round here..This one is so yummy, that it doenst even have a name, everyone here simply ask that i make that "chicken stuff". I know what they mean, LOL...So here goes, of course u know i always start with the freshest ingredients possible....Fresh boneless, skinless chicken breast(1-2 lbs) , cubed. Fresh broccoli , garlic, onion, and sun-dried tomatoes. Ule also need a pack of cheaters Alfredo sauce...and pasta

In a medium saucepan saute (med to high heat) the onion and garlic in a wee bit of cooking oil...

Ahhhhh, can u smell this? Truly the way many great meals begin....When the onions are transparent add the chicken..Seer it, then turn down the heat, and add the broccoli and tomatoes.

Cover and let simmer til the broccoli is tender...follow the directions on the Alfredo sauce while the pasta is cooking....pour the thickened sauce over the chicken, drain and mix in the pasta...Plate it........sprinkle with fresh grated parmesan cheese....

Add alittle romance and ur done.............nite all, Bonnie
