Welcome to our kitchen!
Whether it’s a full-course menu with exotic ingredients, a scrumptious dessert, or Brie and apple slices, the kitchen is a magnet, drawing in people for camaraderie and conversation. Family traditions are born in the kitchen; memories are made.

The outdoor kitchen has added another layer of fun and a chance to engage while enjoying great food. When we bought our retirement home, our outdoor kitchen (used year round) was a huge consideration. We have a built-in gas grill, a smoker, and an air fryer. Comfortable seating and a fire pit (okay, we actually have 2) were a must. This is another great gathering place for friends and family.
Enjoy this slideshow with a few more photos of the kitchen.
Full disclosure: I don’t cook, but I appreciate all that a welcoming kitchen has to offer.
What a fun legacy!
