Kitchen Reno: One Week Down

It's officially been one week (and a day, by the time I'm getting to post) in to our kitchen renovation. Over the weekend, Jamey ordered the exhaust hood and started relocating the duct work. The original kitchen didn't really have a hood, but instead a built in fan with a shelf over it. New plans call for a stainless decorative hood (no cupboards on top).

Today the sheetrock crew comes in and starts repairing. The big mess will get bigger. We left the plastic coverings over everything in the family room. I'm afraid to go home tonight. Elway is lit because he's locked up in the laundry room (the kitchen is his usual day-time hang out spot).

Last night Willa and I made no-bake cookies. They never actually formed balls (we're eating them with spoons), but they're delicious.

Here's what we used:

1 cup oats
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/3 cup honey
1 cup coconut
1/3 cup ground flax
3/4 cup mini-chocolate chips

Mixed it all together, dished it into a bowl (like chunky granola) and had it with a glass of milk as our night-time snack. Delicious!
