It can’t be denied, the kitchen is the heart of any home. This kitchen is the hub of activity from morning, noon, all the way to night. Any time we have company, there’s no question we’ll be huddled around the center island of our kitchen. Usually munching on a board filled with salami, nuts, vegetables, hummus, and often chips and salsa is where you’ll find me.

Growing up, I can recall mostly the same. My parents paid their bills on the kitchen table, prepped meals, and hung out in the room.
