Old vs New

Okay, okay, the last few posts were about my new house, and I know I haven't given you too many details quite yet except for some sneak peaks through more recent pictures of what my new counters and counter tops look like. But, before I share the new, I should share the old.

Unfortunately, I really did not take proper pictures of my old kitchen. Honestly, it was never pretty enough to really share but now I regret not taking a picture. Ah well, c'est la vie.

Here are some pictures through the moving chaos:


Old residence: Here is a shot of one side of the apartment kitchen. On the other side were the cabinets, stove etc... 


Old residence: Beginning of the moving process as shown in the apartment hallway.


New residence: My kitchen in my new home that faces South, so it's very bright and warm. I love the large counter space and oven. I can actually have two large casseroles cook side by side (on the same rack) and they will cook evenly! It's also a convection oven which will be fun to play around with when experimenting with new recipes since I have never really used one before. This is quite an upgrade from an apartment size oven where I couldn't bake more than one thing at a time without raising the temperature.


New residence: This is a U-shaped kitchen and on this side, I have a bit more space to put my plants, vases and radio. Helps give the kitchen some personality.


Here is our very large pantry but what are those white doors lurking behind the pantry?


A second pantry!!! Perfect for storing the not-so-often used Tupperware containers or extra tubs of protein powder. 

We had quite a few people helping us with moving day and I loved how my friends who unpacked my kitchen kept saying- how did you fit all this kitchen stuff in that apartment?! You are filling all the cupboards up already!

Now that you have seen some of the old and my new cooking space, I have been busy baking/ cooking up a storm. Stay tuned to read on posts about home made bread (vegan friendly), seitan and vegetable stir fry and finally a spin on a German cake in a form of a cupcake that I made for a friends birthday.
