What’s in your kitchen?

No matter what type of home you live in, most would agree that a home is not complete without a welcoming kitchen. The kitchen is the center of a family’s day-to-day living where the day begins with a cup of coffee or a fueling breakfast.
 
In Italy, they say that the kitchen is the heart of the home because most Italian meals are prepared and eaten at home. The kitchen is a place to gather, socialize, eat and cook together.  Spending more time in your kitchen could also benefit you and your family’s health by eating home cooked meals.
