Entertaining
- Gourmet Game Night: this Seattle-local wrote this book that's growing in popularity and is now being sold at Crate and Barrel. She has some great reccomendations for pairing great party food (she's a chef) with fun party games.
- Food: (Formally Recipe Zaar) This is my favorite home-recipe shared site. I have several recipes posted here and find tons of ideas. I specifically learned how to make restaurant-style fluffy eggs here. Invaluable skill.
- Food Network: I, of course, watch this channel obsessively. I do like to visit their site to follow up on culinary ideas and celebrity chefs I want to see more from. My favs include Ina Garten, Giada DeLaurentiis, Anne Burrell, and Sandra Lee.
- Weight Watchers: They key to my weight-loss success is this great program. It's so simple! I don't go to meetings, simply use the online tool which is a cinch (since I'm on my computer all day anyway)
- Oprah Nation: Everything you need to know is on this site. She covers all of the topics we do here but with a few more celebrities. I get her weekly email newsletter too, which is full of advice.
- Martha Stewart: Come on, I had to list her. She is the queen of all that is home making. So many good ideas on this site!
- The Nest: From the makers of The Knot, this sites caters to our audience. I do like this site although I don't think I goes deep enough of some of the topics. It's got a great breadth of info for those new to the nest.
- Mint: The ultimate in manaing your budget. It gives me my own dashboard of every account, every dollar, every loan, all in one place. I can organize it, categorize it and budget it... booyah.
- Learn Vest: My new fav to learn to live stylishly within your means. GREAT daily and weekly emails with tips, tools and articles I devour.
- DIY Network: This is another one of my favorite e-newsletter subscriptions. It's creative, out of the box and thorough. There are ideas in here I will never do, but lots I would consider and it keeps me thinking!
- BHG: From the time my girlfriend Margo bought me my first Better Homes & Gardens subscription, I've been hooked. I pull magazine articles out and file them for future ideas. Their recipes are easy and yummy. And their website offers even more!
- SkinnyTaste - great low-fat recipes that include the Weight Watchers points (old and new) calculated for you! (Thanks to Heather Doran for sharing!)
- AmyChow - a funny food writer who doesn't cook (well). Check out the videso - she makes "stupidly simple" recipes for the beginner cook.
- Get Rich Slowly - Although I'd love to get rich quickly, this does seem to make more sense.
- Fabulous & Frugal - A Girl's Guide to Living Well & Spending Wisely
- Comfy Belly - Awesome unique recipes that focus on eating healthy and well! (written by a member of the JeffreyM Consulting Team and colleauge of mine)
- Eat Drink Chic - A cute blog of many found cute pictures and inspiration, with some unique ideas too. (Thanks to Dana Rohrbacher for sharing!)
- The Man Repeller - This site is flippin' hilarious. The author investigates the whole world of fashion as it relates to attracting (or repelling, in this case) men. I especially like her "Birth Control Glasses". (Thanks to my Mom for sharing!)
