Aside from being busy with typical fall stuff, we’re considering remodeling our kitchen this month. As in, DIY style. What? Why? Who does such a thing during such an already busy time??
Here are photos of what our kitchen/home looked like before we moved in. Our little kitchen is definitely functional and livable, but it’s not really “our” style. We did update it a little bit by adding wood shelves on one of the walls (here’s a photo), but we’re feeling the burning motivation to transform our countertops, sink, faucet, and backsplash! I choose this faucet after seeing this commercial kitchen faucet buying guide. Maybe IKEA butcher block? Drop-in sink? Subway tile?
I’ll keep you guys posted 😉 Blog post coming soon!

Just made these banana-baked-oatmeal-cups.
Taste is good.
And, the recipe only made 20 in a standard 2 3/4inch muffin tin. Each was about 1/2inch tall.
Q: should I have used a mini muffin pan?
Christine McMichael replied:
So glad you loved the taste! I’m not sure why there was a difference in the amount of oatmeal cups for this recipe. I believe mine were around that size as well. However, I will test the recipe again to make sure everything is correct! Thanks for letting me know!
Margaret Harris replied:
Thank you! I’d appreciate that. I overcooked them as I was distracted – and, I have 4 grandchildren who I know would like them not overdone!

Good luck with the remodel. I have been there and done that and know how hard it is to survive without a kitchen counter. Love the crunchy oatmeal cups. I love when I have some texture and this is perfect.
