How to Survive a Kitchen Remodel and Still Eat Real Food - The Destruction

We are just starting our second week of our kitchen remodel. And yes - we're still eating real food! In case you want to catch up on what we're doing, you can check out my first two posts here and here on our project.

There has been a ton of PROGRESS in just the first week!! The dust as a result of the destruction is starting to drive me a bit crazy. There, I said it!! Of course, I've been taking pictures everyday to keep track of progress.

So, here's the first week run-down and the destruction which ensued.

How to Survive a Kitchen Remodel and Still Eat Real Food - Part 2: Temporary Kitchen

One of the reasons I was hesitant on starting this project is FOOD! When we remodeled our kitchen at our old house, it was pre-kids and we could go out to eat whenever. To be perfectly honest, I didn't have much worries about what I ate. But now, we have two kids - one with a life-threatening food allergy to peanuts - and we are very picky about what food we eat. Not to mention my goals for weight loss and health improvements. Eating out or highly processed crap just isn't an option. Don't get me wrong: We do go out to eat plenty and there are many safe alternatives for us (even in our small town). But, relying on fast, cheap food is not going to make us happy. And we knew that going into in.

Today, I'm sharing with you my temporary kitchen setup for this project. This is my second part in my "How to Survive a Kitchen Remodel" series. In case you missed my first installment, you can read about our initial planning phase here.
