The13 Going on 30star said for family meals, it’s usually a “have your vegetables, now have your this, now have your that” type of situation.

“It’s all outta order, but they don’t seem to mind,” Garner said.

She also shared her thought process behind the design.

“So, I knew when I imagined my favorite kitchen ever, in my mind, that it would have an area dedicated to baking,” Garner said. “It just makes it so much easier to have it all in one place and to know where your different flours are and your chocolate chips.”

Though Garner’s floor plans were carefully mapped out prior to her moving in, theAliasalum noted that “chocolate chips are the most important thing in the whole house.”

“And I could tell you where they are,” she added.

Garner also has a fireplace in the kitchen that she said the family dog can often be found sleeping near.

“It just adds so much coziness, it’s unbelievable how nice it is to have a little bit of fire going in your kitchen.”
