Our living room has been a work in progress since the day we moved in.

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About Artichokes (And Probably More)
A couple of years ago, I went through this weird phase where I ate steamed artichokes practically every single day. Basically, what happened was that I discovered that they are less vegetables than they are butter delivery systems, and boom: obsessed.
Anyway, I haven't had one for ages and ages, and then last night, all of a sudden, I decided that artichokes must be steamed. Lemon butter must be made.
It was awesome (albeit not the loveliest thing in the world to photograph post-steaming, but what can you do?).
Mom’s Spinach Lasagna
Weekend Snapshots are coming up in just a bit, but in the meantime: this lasagna deserves its own post.
It's kind of labor-intensive what with all the spinach-chopping and layering, but you're going to have to trust me when I say that it's worth it (and it makes so much that you'll be able to freeze lots of leftovers for later).
I mean...you know something's good when it requires a two-spoon approach.
Can’t-Live-Without-Them Kitchen Products
Like many people, I'd say that my kitchen is hands-down the hardest-working room in our house: I mean, sure, it’s where I cook dinner every night…but our kitchen is much more than just the room where I break out the pots and pans. It’s also where my son explores the intricacies of whether or not scrambled eggs really can fly (they can), where Lucy and Virgil create mud paintings using materials dragged in from our backyard, and where my husband and I perch on the countertops for a late-night catch-up after all the small creatures in the house have retired for the evening.
But high-activity goes hand-in-hand with high-mess, so I end up doing a lot of cleaning in our kitchen…and want to make sure that I’m using products that make the whole messy chore just a little bit easier. Presenting: three of my must-have cleaning products, all recipients of aBetter Homes and Gardens Best New Product Award, voted on by consumers in an independent research study.
First, we need to talk about Mr. Clean Select-A-Size Magic Erasers. This is important, so pay attention.

Q. Hi Jordan,
