Author: RealHomeMatters

Not only am I a licensed real estate agent in Georgia, I also consider myself a home and lifestyle consultant. Our homes are sacred places where we can escape to find peace and contentment with our loved ones. I'm passionate about helping others to buy and sell their homes, but also providing tips and advice to help them create their unique living space. And, yes I'm also a foodie -- food is the quintessential connection to making you feel like "There's no place like home!"

Cozy winter recipes for a house full of family Hosting holiday guests without a hotel: a home-prep checklist Since retiring a little over a year ago, I feel like I’m slowly turning into Big Mama from the movie Soul Food…lol! It’s nice having the time to really enjoy cooking and baking. Although, I reject the unhealthy version of the character. We tryin to live healthy over here. This is the 2nd time I’ve baked these oatmeal raisin cookies. Had to make a few without raisins for the non-raisin lovers and also made a few with chocolate chips. They came out so soft and chewy. This week’s baking project: Zucchini Bread w/chocolate chips & walnuts. Bread was easy to make and tasted great! Only thing is that the top browned quicker before the inside was done. Next time I’ll need to reduce temp by 25 degrees to 325 and bake a little longer. Family is enjoying my weekly baking. Who needs contaminated lettuce leaves, when you can make a Mediterranean cucumber salad…a perfect pairing with yellow rice, chicken thighs, tomatoes and garlic naan bread. Baked a maple pecan loaf and it didn’t turn out exactly how I imagined. I think my 1st mistake was using a recipe from Instagram.🙁 The loaf had more of a bread texture than cake, which is what I wanted. Hope my baker buddy Cary Cox can put me on the right path. I’ll keep trying until I get it right. Surprisingly, loaf got softer & more moist after I drizzled on the toasted pecan glaze and tasted good, especially with a scoop of organic salted caramel ice cream😋 Chocolate chip banana bread just because I can do whatever the hell I want to do during retirement, and becoming a better baker is one of those things…LOL Happy Earth Day!
