House Tour: Kitchen and Breakfast Nook

April 6, 2010 by Aliesha

Welcome to our first house tour! Since we can’t invite all of you over to come see our new house, I thought I’d post pictures every now and then so you can see how our house is looking! The first room we have “settled into” is the kitchen, so we’ll start here.
Bench below the windowsill (laundry is in kitchen, so this bench will come in handy for folding/sorting!)
Lots of pretty kitchen utensils/gadgets we were given as wedding presents
Fruit basket filled with Tad’s favorite: Granny Smith apples
The view from our kitchen into our breakfast nook
I love everything in this picture: shabby-chic table, white cake pedestal, green ramekin, white butter dish and little birdies salt & pepper shakers
Wreath my mom made us displayed in our breakfast nook
Coffee station in our breakfast nook
Love the sign (thanks, Angela!) and the pink dogwood (tree is outside the breakfast nook window)
Our sink (there is a fish living in the mason jar)
Green pears in a ceramic damask dish

Hope you enjoyed this little tour of our kitchen! I’ll continue to post pictures as we tackle more rooms and projects!

Sugar-Free Raspberry Jello Salad

April 6, 2010 by Aliesha

As promised, this week I will be posting some of the recipes I made over Easter weekend. This recipe is easy and delicious! It uses sugar-free jello, unsweetened applesauce and diet ginger ale, but please keep in mind that there is still some sugar in the recipe because of the natural sugars in the applesauce and pineapple. It is still very light and refreshing for a spring day!Sugar-Free Raspberry/Strawberry/Cherry Jello Salad

2 packages sugar free jello (raspberry, strawberry, cherry, or a combination)
1 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 1/2 cups diet ginger ale
1 (8 oz.) can crushed pineapple (do not drain)

Boil applesauce and add jello mixes. Then, slowly add ginger ale and crushed pineapple. Mix and let gel in the fridge.

Enjoy!
