After years of creating Veg World recipes in apartment kitchens, I am beyond pumped about the kitchen in our new home! Seriously guys, I feel like I graduated to the big leagues. I’m so excited to share the ins and outs of our new kitchen with you in this post!

The House Hunt

For those of you who don’t know, Will and I just moved to our first ever house after a long and tiring process of searching for homes that lasted…one week. Wait, what?

Yeah, you read that correctly. We had just started our home buying process when we happened to fall head over heels in love with a home that just went on the market. Sometimes that’s just how it happens, ya know?

Here’s how it all went down. On a Monday in early January, we met with Brian Gallagher, a realtor who came highly recommended from two of our best friends in Minneapolis. As soon as we sat down with Brian to chat over some happy hour beers, I knew we were going to have an excellent experience with him. 

For one, Brian has years (18!) of experience as a realtor in the Twin Cities market. He also has loads of experience with first-time home buyers. For someone like me who didn’t even know what a “house closing” was, this was very important!

After meeting with Brian for just a couple hours, Will and I knew exactly what we needed to do to make the home buying process go as smoothly as possible. Brian considered all of things that we wanted in our first home, and set us up with an online account where he could flag homes we might like to see. Soon enough, a charming South Minneapolis bungalow that checked all of our boxes popped up on our radar. 

Brian promptly responded to our request to go see the house (along with a few others) that weekend, and by Sunday night, he had submitted an offer on our behalf. How’s that for amazing customer service?!

Seriously though, without Brian’s prompt actions and expert advice, I doubt we would have gotten the home! He thoroughly explained all of the next steps, made sure we got the best deal possible, and responded to every single one of our questions. Closing was a breeze! 

So for my Minneapolis/St. Paul readers out there, if you’re looking for a home, don’t hesitate to give Brian a ring. And make sure to check out all of the other amazing reviews he has on Zillow! 

Welcome to the New Veg World Kitchen!

As you can imagine, one of my biggest priorities in our house hunt was the kitchen space. We told Brian all about the Veg World at our first meeting, so he knew how important the kitchen was to us.

Since it’s where I spend almost half of my working hours, it had to be functional, have good appliances, and plenty of storage. And let me tell you, the kitchen in our new home checks ALL of those boxes! 

The appliances are incredible, especially the 5-burner gas stove that makes me feel like I’m on the Food Network!!
