FFY buffet day substitute post: Things I Covet
9Apr2009 Filed under: Things I Covet Author: twobarefeetBasically, once a week I try to have a “FFY Buffet” day, also known as fend for yourself, or leftovers night. So, I won’t be posting a recipe that day. Instead, lest you get bored and go elsewhere for your fix, I’ll be posting a kitchen item that I either own and love or want.
Today, it’s these collapsible measuring cups and spoons. Not only do I love the vibrant color and the cool shapes of the spoons, but the collapsible feature is really appealing. Right now, I have an obnoxious amount of storage in my kitchen but I still get annoyed with my measuring cups taking up so much room.
About this blog
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.
