We’re making progress in the kitchen!
The drywall is up. It has been floated and sanded. As the space begins to take shape, dramatic changes like this are especially fun to watch.
We’ve been into this project for 7 weeks now and the other day I realized it will be six more weeks (I hope) until a completed (or almost complete) kitchen. That doesn’t sound so bad after all. Maybe we’re over the hump.
Here’s a meatless picnic supper I cooked, I mean prepared, to celebrate the space.
Herbed Goat Cheese & Baguette
My favorite goat cheese is Cheesy Girl “Hottie.”
Sun-“drywall” Tomato, Feta and Greek Yogurt Dip with Carrots & Crackers
Recipe follows.
Tomato, Shallot & Parsley Salad
Combine (1) 10.5 oz. container sliced grape tomatoes, 1 large finely chopped shallot, handful chopped Italian parsely and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cherries & Watermelon Chunks
My favorite summer fruit. Just as it sounds.
-Enjoy! alyce eyster
- 4 oz. feta, crumbled
- 1 cup 2% Greek yogurt (I use Fage.)
- 1-2 Tblsp olive oil
- ½ cup oil packed sundried tomatoes, chopped
- 1-2 finely chopped green onions

- Blend together the feta and yogurt in a medium bowl, making sure to work out any large feta chunks.
- Add the olive oil and sundried tomatoes and combine well.
- Fold in the green onions, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
It’s so cool to get a new kitchen and worth all the aggravation and waiting! Looks like you prepared a delicious picnic for a kitchen-less cook. Absolutely love herbed goat cheese and your yogurt dip looks divine!
I love the sound of this dip, I can’t wait to try it!
Delicious and I’m SO glad you posted another update on the kitchen! I’ve had a blast watching this project!
That is so exciting that you will have a brand new kitchen! When my parents had our kitchen re-done it took all summer but it was worth it.
It is awesome mom!!!!!! Love it!!!!!!
Alyce,
I have a single burner electric and a teflon griddle that got me thru it all. Also pics along the way and you need to come see the finished kitchen.
Was fun on Wed hanging with you!
this recipe was great! i didn’t add the olive oil to cut back on calories and it still tasted wonderful. i’ve been using it as a spread for a veggie pita sandwich!
Great idea! Sounds like a yummy sammy. Gonna have to try it.
