"Where Home and Lifestyle Meet"
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!"
With the new year approaching, I’m on alert for any new information or resources that will help me to stay focused on my healthy eating resolutions for 2012. Eating healthy, while dining, can become a challenge. I was happy to stumble upon the National Restaurant Association’s survey of professional chefs, and their top menu trends […]
MoreThe holidays can bring more than just happiness and joy; extra pounds can become an uninvited guest. If you’re hosting holiday parties, help your guests eat healthier by serving healthy holiday appetizers. One of my favorite appetizers is a smoked salmon and cream cheese spread. This appetizer is very easy to prepare, and always gets […]
MoreNo, that’s not a typo! Chili cooking is what you smell in my house today. I love when the cooler weather comes; it’s perfect for making those one-pot meals, like chili. Since my family doesn’t eat red meat, I make chili with ground turkey. We also don’t like kidney beans, so I use small, white […]
MoreNow that the nest is just about empty, I cook my most extravagant meals on Sundays. Well, not exactly extravagant, but I spend more time on Sunday meals than I do during the week. My husband loves my stuffed peppers, so I decided to make his favorite today. Stuffed peppers is a very easy meal […]
MoreWhenever I tell someone I don’t eat meat, particularly meat-eaters, I get the usual looks that say “You poor soul, how do you survive?” Or, “What planet are you from?” My answer to them is always the same: “Every meal you make with red meat, I can find a substitute and prepare a meal that […]
MoreEvery Thanksgiving, I bake one of my family’s favorite dessert: butternut squash pie. I usually make two pies, but this year, because the pies turned out so well, I baked a third pie. I try not to eat a lot of sweets, but it’s so hard to have just one, or maybe two, slivers of […]
MoreI love cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my family, but I hate trying to figure out what makeover to give my leftovers. This year, I’ve decided to make turkey soup with rosemary dumplings. I don’t usually prepare my daily meals using a recipe, so I’ll wing it and go with the flow. There was plenty of […]
MoreEating healthy isn’t complicated. In fact, you can prepare very healthy meals using simple ingredients, such as vegetables. The other day, for dinner, I made grilled eggplant sandwiches topped with sauteed red and green peppers, and onions. Along with my sandwich, I had a cup of tomato and basil soup. Mmm! delicious!
MoreThe beginning place for healthy eating starts in your kitchen. However, your kitchen could also be a place for sickness if healthy, nutritious foods are not prepared. Whenever my husband or children come down with a cold, I head to my kitchen and cook up a batch of french onion soup and a salad with […]
