By Happy Wednesday! It’s time for another gratitude challenge to get us through the week with some positivity! I have appliances on my mind so let’s talk about another appliance that I’m grateful for – the oven.
I happen to have a double oven. The first one lasted almost 20 years. The second one has been in place since 2020. I really wanted a cafe style oven, but the space wouldn’t allow it (apparently those doors need some room to move!). I am very grateful for my ovens, even though I only use the bottom oven about 3 times a year (for big family gatherings). The rest of the time, it acts as an extra cabinet – storing my baking sheets. So yes, two ovens is a bit excessive, but two ovens also means twice the opportunity to bake cookies and breads and all sorts of yumminess!
I’m grateful my oven has some fun features (air fryer, warm) that I use. I especially like the app that works with it. That allows me to start pre-heating from the grocery store, so that when I get home I can immediately start cooking. It’s now a 6 year-old, but there are still some features I haven’t tried!
At thanksgiving one year, the oven received an update that changed the timer sounds to a turkey gobbling. THAT was hilarious!!!
So cheers to your oven: regular, double, microwave, toaster, convection
The bonus challenge – bake/roast/air-fry a new recipe and have some fun!
The original
And the remodel
