I know this isn’t true for a lot of people, but one of my favorite things to do after a long week is get in the kitchen and bake something. It’s relaxing. I love the process of baking with fresh, seasonal fruits and the smells that come from the oven as the food bakes. I especially like pulling the food from the oven and digging in! For me, life is good in the kitchen.
Want to know what makes life even better in the kitchen? Good appliances. Trust me. I currently am renting a house that doesn’t have good appliances. What I need are some LG appliances. LG Home Appliances are your partner in creating enjoyable cooking experiences and life’s good moments in The Kitchen. Have you seen the new show “The Kitchen” on the Food Network? The kitchen is fully loaded with LG appliances. Katie Lee stars in the show and other LG videos that feature the LG Door-in-Door™ refrigerator. Have you seen it yet? I love the space and organization that it offers.

While you wait to see if you won, make a batch of these blueberry peach streusel bars. A layer of streusel is pressed into the bottom of a pan, topped with a mixture of fresh blueberries and peaches, and then topped with another layer of streusel. You won’t regret having a buttery, oat bar filled with sweet, fresh fruit!
