Feature Friday-Fairfax Station Kitchen

This week's featured kitchen is a job we completed in the Fairfax Station area of Virginia.

The clients selected our Medallion Cabinetry's Calistoga Door (our featured door style of the week) in the Vintage Morel finish, an elegant wide rail, raised panel door. Doug and Mick Barham of Barham Construction were the contractors for this project.

The client was pleased with her kitchen and working with Southern Kitchens.

"I am so happy with my kitchen. Thank you…Thank you…Thank you. You guys were great to work with and everything was so well done. The kitchen turned out to be everything I envisioned it to be."

Product Thursdays-Sub Zero Microwave Drawer

We here at Southern Kitchens are excited to learn that Wolf appliances are coming out with a microwave drawer.

Microwave drawers are becoming a popular choice in kitchens today because of their ease of use. Wolf's microwave drawer will be available in 24" and 30" widths. They are designed to match their E series oven with 2 styles available in Stainless Steel. The door opens and closes with a push of a button. This microwave has 11 programmable power settings, and can be used to keep food warm for up to 30 minutes.

Too Good Tuesdays-The ultimate Sugar Cookie Recipe

These cookies are fun to make any time of the year.

The Ultimate Sugar Cookie

• 3/4 cup Golden Crisco or butter-flavored Crisco shortening
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 1-1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• Colored decorations or icing

Cream Crisco, sugar, eggs and vanilla in large mixer bowl at medium speed until light and creamy. Combine flour, baking powder and salt. Add to creamed mixture, mixing on low speed until well blended. Cover dough and chill 1 hour, if desired, for easy rolling. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Roll half of dough at a time. Roll dough on lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter, cut in desired shapes. Place on ungreased baking sheets. Roll leftover pieces. Sprinkle with colored decorations or leave plain to decorate when cool. Bake at 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes, or until edges are light brown. (Time will vary with cookie size.) Cool slightly, then remove to cooling rack.
