I wish I could say a new kitchen is what I got, but it's really what I want. I keep seeing all these cute baking projects that I would love to try, but I have one big problem: my kitchen has NO ROOM. The counter space that I have barely fits the microwave, toaster and dish drainer. How can I motivate myself to bake with such limited space? I want to do cookie plates and goodies for neighbors every year and I talk myself out of it because of the lack of space. Sometimes I use the table, but even that is pretty small.
I wonder if any of my neighbors would be willing to "rent" me their kitchen for a day or two. I mean, that's not quite the same as asking to borrow a cup of sugar..... I just have a baking bug and it's being suppressed. So what do I do? Any suggestions would be welcome.
Most of the fun baking projects are ones that I see on my Mom's blog: http://justhelen.typepad.com. You should definitely check out her blog. She is so talented in every idea and you will find fabulous ideas for baking, scrapbooking, and just be inspired by her words. So, visit her website and know that those cute things are some of the things I would do if I had the space. And to all of my neighbors- see the cute things I was hoping to bring you?

I know just what you need...a small folding table and a way to stack your cookie racks. Do it in stages. Try to leave a little room in your freezer so you can freeze the first batch. Make cookie dough one day. Wait! I have a better idea...make your cookie dough and then go down to Grandma Naylor's for a day of baking. She has great counter space and she might even have fun helping!
Maybe I should just go down there to make the cookie dough too. I bet she would be alright with that as long as I don't leave a big mess when I'm done. We DO have a folding table and stackable cookie racks, but the table has a slightly padded top so it's still a little hard to do anything on it if you need a flat, hard surface.
