Welcome to Home for Dinner
Your Philadelphia real estate & lifestyle guide
I’m so glad you stopped by! Pull up a chair and hang out with us for a little bit. Many say the kitchen is the heart of the home. It’s where family and friends gather to share experiences, laughter, and, of course, food. Food has a special way of bringing people together. From cooking to dining, nothing comforts like enjoying food at home. I’m sure you will agree.
Home for Dinner combines my passion for real estate and a love of food. And, I do love both! It brings together the many aspects of home life – from finding a new house (or condo or apartment), making it a home, moving onto the next and enjoying some fabulous meals in between. Follow us for home advice, real estate tips, recipes, and more from around Philadelphia and beyond.
Cheers,
