We’re so close to having the kitchen finished! Just yesterday my Mom and I drove over to IKEA to pick up our ordered drawers, and Justin will work at installing those in the next day or two! So close!
Getting organized!
In the meantime, I found some glass jars to fit a lot of my baking ingredients which I have labeled and lined up on the wall shelves. I love what a functional, yet still pretty, kitchen we have!
Definitely not skimping on the toasted pecans!
We have also been making good use of the kitchen. Justin has now made three more types of ice cream, including Chocolate Marshmallow ripple, Mint and Mint Chocolate Chunk, and Butter Pecan. The Mint Chip and Butter Pecan have been my favorites so far.
Gone. 
Going through the last few pictures on the camera, I noticed a “sparkly” theme. I made sparkly snow cake pops for a birthday party last week, and this week made a double batch of sparkly ginger chewies.
Raw sugar makes for pretty pictures!
The only kind of snow I'm willing to accept right now!
It almost felt like baking for Christmas. Except that it is in the fantastic forties and fifties here. Bu-Bye Snow! I would prefer not to see you again until December!
