Show Us Your Life - Kitchen

Every Friday Kelly from Kelly's Korner does a post - "Show us your life" in which she picks a room and everyone shares theirs! This past Friday's was the kitchen addition. When you are done checking out my kitchen and the rest of my blog, hop on over to Kelly's Korner and take a look at all the other amazing kitchens. Keep your eyes open, you never know if you can get an idea for your own!

"Show us your life" - Kitchen

Our kitchen is tiny but it's one of my favorite rooms in our house. We made a ton of changes when we moved in. I'm a tiny bit OCD and I never feel as if any of our rooms are complete and my mind is always racing with ideas for ways which I can make the room better. Here is a look at our kitchen....

My Name Is Megan and I'm Addicted

I'm addicted to reality television!

I love it.

LOVE it.

For the longest time, I never really got into the whole "reality" t.v. shows!

But now, I can't get enough.

Real Housewives of everywhere...I watch them all!

It's like watching a train wreck...

you don't want to watch but you can't stop staring!

The drama.

The clothes.

The fakeness.

Of course I have my favorites....

Orange County

New York

DC

Don't get me wrong, I still watch New Jersey and Altanta

but they are my least favorite.

I'm super excited because in a couple weeks...

Beverly Hills Housewives start!

I hope it's good!

I also LOVE
Bethenny Gets Married,

Flippin' Out

&

The Rachel Zoe Project.

This week my Flippin' Out didn't fully tape because we had rain.

I was (am) very upset!

I could watch re-run after re-run of those three shows!

Also every Wednesday night both Eric and I love -

Top Chef!

It's great and the food always looks so yummy.

It really makes me want to be more adventurous in the kitchen!

Now, there is Top Chef Just Dessert!

It kills me, my sweet tooth goes nuts when I watch.

I mean a whole show dedicated to sweets...hello, who wouldn't want to watch!?
Everyone has to have a weakness, as of now mine is reality t.v.!

Wordless Wednesday

Claire sporting her new Fall jacket! Now if Fall would stay around for more then a day or two!

I Wonder If...

I wonder if everyone feels like everyone's pregnancy besides their own goes super fast. I feel like it was just April and I was finding out two of my close friends were expecting! Now it's October...their showers are coming up, the rooms are being decorated, and baby clothes washed. It's crazy they can both give birth 8-11 weeks from now to full term babies! It's so exciting! With my pregnancy, it felt like I was pregnant for years instead of months. I felt like my due date was so far out of sight, that it would never be reached. I'm curious if pregnancy number 2 will feel a lot faster then my first. I have a feeling it will, simply because my days are packed with Claire and she keeps me SuPeR busy!
I love there are so many personal and blogger friends who are pregnant, something is definitely in the water! I can't wait until everyone starts popping out there little ones because who doesn't like looking at newborn baby pictures and reading a good birth story!

Are You Ready For Some Football...

GO BEARS!!

   I love Fall Football Sundays!!

I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Ours was packed with fun and family, just the way I like it!

Homemade Applesauce

Seeing as we went to the apple orchard last weekend, it was only proper to make Claire (and I) some homemade applesauce! It turned out so well, I wanted to share the yummy recipe with you all! I hope you found some time to give yourself a very tasty treat! Enjoy!

Homemade Applesauce:

4 apples
3/4 cups water
1/4 cups sugar
Cinnamon and nutmeg to taste (I use a ton of cinnamon because we are all cinnamon fans)

Peel, core and cut all the apples. Place water, sugar, apples, cinnamon and nutmeg in a saucepan. Let them cook on medium for 15-20 minutes and then on shimmer (or the lowest setting you have) for another 5-10 minutes or until your apples can be mashed easily with a fork. After mashing, place in a container and refrigerate!
