Rewire kitchen..

Sorry forgot to ask in my earlier post.

When I re-wire my, kitchen, (size about 10x10, Florida block house) this is what I have planned.

Run my stove line.
run 2: 12-2 homeruns for counter outlets.
12-2 for dishwasher
14-2 shared for fridge and garbage disposal. (can i do this?)
12-2 for over the range microwave (is this necessary? or can i use one 12/2 for my micro, fridge and garbage disposal?)

Finally for lighting, can i tap into my bathroom lights homerun? As it stands, I only have 3 recessed lights in my bathroom, plus the fan. I would probabably add about 8 recessed lights in the kitchen, total of 11 lights on a 14/2. Does code prohbibit sharing the bath lights with the kitchen?

Wow, that is alot of questions! thanks to anyone who helps.

A 14-2 15 Amp circuit will work and is allowed for the frig and GD, but is rarely done by the pros, we usually use a 20 amp circuit just for the frig, adding the GD to the frig circuit is OK since the don't draw much and are used so infrequently.

Based on the typical wattage of most microwaves, these usually get a 20 Amp circuit with #12-2 wire alone.

Everything else you list is fine.

There is no code that would not allow kitchen lights be connected to a bathroom light circuit, this is just a general lighting circuit. Knowing the wattage of each light or the total wattage that would be on this circuit would help. But assuming each light is about 100 watts, this would have a total of 1100 watts on the circuit, which will be fine.
