Not So Big House Principles Apply to Remodeling Projects of all Sizes

Submitted by Sylvia Small on Monday, September 19th, 2:31 pm

Free Educational Program on Oct. 15 The concept or movement of “Not So Big House” has entered the mainstream, but what is it and who started it? Well, what it is not about is tiny houses for everyone, or a creed of bad design in favor of tiny energy bills. The No So Big House philosophy, in fact, embraces architectural style across the spectrum, and is a concept dedicated to homes of all … well, most sizes. It can be described as an anti-McMansion sort of trend, but it is much more positive than that. This is a direction in home design and construction championed by Sarah Susanka, an architect by trade, that emphasizes the concept of home as haven, in scale and proportion to need, a welcoming, comfortable, usable place where space is used according to purpose, rooms flow together with subtle delineations -- well-built, light-filled and energy-efficient.

Summer in Georgia & peaches for weeks: What to do with those sweet GA peaches

Atlanta, GA -- The blog Running With Tweezers has a great article including a variety of great recipes for this year's peaches. If you have had one of this year's peaches you know they are just delicious!!! Whether you want to make ice cream, a cake or a cobbler, @RunningWithTweezers.com has the perfect recipe for you.

Around here, we’re really fortunate to have summers full of local peaches. Growing up, they were one of my dad’s favorite foods and they made appearances at our house fairly regularly. Sliced on pound cake or angel food cake, on top of cottage cheese the old school way. In the colder months, he’d even eat canned peaches straight up with a spoon. While I’m not a proponent of the tinned variety, I’m a huge fan of the fresh ones grown here in the South.

Cocina con Yoly: Salsa Chimichurri (English Below)

Yoly es una puertoriqueña viviendo en Atlanta donde procura ahorrar en sus compras manteniendo un presupuesto pequeño mientras disfruta con su esposo en grande de sus pasatiempos favoritos y la cocina. Recordando con añoro a la Isla del Encanto, también busca ofertas que apliquen allá.

Aunque mi esposo no es de descendencia Latina a él le encanta nuestra comida. Una de las salsas que más preparamos es la de Chimichurri por que es muy versátil. Esta va muy bien con churrasco, y en nuestro caso sobre caderas deshuesadas, salmón, tostadas en fin… siempre buscamos excusa para preparar esta salsa.
