In a break from our (rarely) regular food posts, I thought I would share about the new home of Worth the Mess. Two weeks ago, we moved into a 1 bedroom-1 bath duplex a few blocks from my old place. Now, I REALLY liked my old house. I had lived there for 2 years, & everyone knows that moving is not the most fun you can have on a Saturday (or any day).
But we moved for 2 main reasons:
1) After we got married, we wanted to move into a house that was ours. Not ours in the sense that we own it (because we definitely do not), but ours in that we picked it out together & will set up our home in it together.
2) Washer & Dryer...do not underestimate the convenience of having your own.
Not to mention, the lower rent that comes with a smaller house is definitely a plus. We realized that we just didn't need 2 bedrooms, especially as newlyweds. It's not cramped; we like being close together! But the smaller space did prompt us to go through all of our stuff & evaluate if something earned a spot in the new house. Turns out this was actually a good time to do this as we were trying to combine 2 lives together.
Now, with things pared down, I'm having fun organizing the new space & making sure that there's enough places to sit when people come over. I'll be attempting some DIY projects to make this place ours, & if the results are worth the mess, this seems like the place to share them. And even though the space overall is smaller, the kitchen is a decently good size, & there's lots of counter space. So stayed tuned for more (hopefully) delicious food from the new location.
In the mean time, I can't have a blog post without a recipe. Our Saturday routine consists of sleeping in & then making brunch. My absolute favorite brunch recipe is baked eggs with greens courtesy of Smitten Kitchen (who else?) Make it on a lazy Saturday; it's super easy for how good it is.
