Buying a home for the first time can be very intimidating, and sometimes it makes more sense with a fun graphic, right? When do I get an inspection – before I make an offer? I made this flow chart to map out the main points in the process. I’ve added it to my buyer’s page.
I’m sorry, but I’m not ready for pumpkin spice everything just yet. The cooler air has me thinking in that direction, but I guess I’m clinging to the last of Summer. I made this ricotta gnocchi the other day, and it was a great bridge meal towards Autumn. Ricotta gnocchi is SO much faster and easier to make than traditional potato gnocchi, so it’s a good choice when you don’t have hours to spend preparing. I chose to make a rosemary and sage brown butter instead of a red sauce, with a few sautéed veggies thrown in. I didn’t take a photo, but this is similar. Throw in the last cocktail tomatoes of the season into the pan to sauté, and toss with the gnocchi for a late Summer treat.
This weekend is one of our favorite events of the year, the Music City Food + Wine Festival. Hopefully I’ll get great new ideas from all the chefs to share with you!
Until next time!
