I don't know about you but I need an extra day in my weekend! Our estate sale in San Mateo was a hit. It was the last sale of the 2014 and after looking through my calendar I calculated that it was the 55th sale of the year. Pretty amazing right! That is over one estate sale or estate liquidation per week. Comparing to last year we grew by 25% so that is exciting. The most exciting part is that we grew in the right way with better projects, better relationships, and a larger and more professional staff. In addition to the ... Keep Reading >>

Simple Summer Appetizer on the Grill!
Today's post is going to be short and delicious because the more I talk about this appetizer the more my stomach growls!

This dish is savory and oh so good, everyone at the table was dying for more! ... Keep Reading >>
Beer Cheese Fondue
New Year's Eve has always been a low-key holiday for me. I like to stay home and enjoy yummy snacks, champagne, and watch the ball drop. The best part about living in California is that you can see the ball drop in NYC at 9pm. It's kind of cheating, but it's great to get to go to bed early! (Yes, I'm an old lady!) I made this amazing beer cheese fondue on Christmas Day and I might have to make it again tonight! It is SO good! I wanted to share the recipe with you just in case you were looking for something special to make ... Keep Reading >>
Halloween Snack Mix
I'm really embracing Halloween this year and I'm proud of myself. My friend Lori is having a costume party tonight and I agreed to go. I HATE costumes and still have no idea what I'm going to wear. Maybe I'll pick up a set of cat ears on the way. Anyway, the only thing getting me through my fear of costumes is my focus on the snacks I'm brining. I'm making my herbed ricotta bruschetta and a Halloween snack mix. The snack mix is a new concoction and I'm kind of loving it. I forgot how fun it is to dump a whole bunch of ... Keep Reading >>
Healthy Homemade Tailgate Dip Trio
I've been on The Plan (a low inflammatory diet) for the last 45+ days and I'm loving it. It starts with a 3 day cleanse which is followed by a regimented 20 day meal plan. I know it sounds terrible but it's worth it in the end. Once the 20 days is up it's up to you to take what you've learned and create a lifestyle from it. I was a bit worried that it would cut into my tailgate treat obsession but I've learned to work new healthy recipes into my lifestyle. The changes that I've made to my diet have made a world of ...

Faux Fried Pickles
I spent countless nights with my Alma College pals at the Braveheart Pub sipping on beers and snacking on fried pickles. Let's be honest, back then I could get away with it because I spent all of my free time on the treadmill in the rec center. Now that I am 31, almost 32 (yikes) I just can't keep up and no matter how much exercise I get during the day my metabolism just doesn't want to cooperate. ... Keep Reading >>
