Nutan Brown’s
WALL OF FAME ...helping you is what I do
I first got to know Nutan when she helped me buy a home nine years ago. I met her at an open house and was impressed by her knowledge of the community and her kind and inviting approach with people. We got to work immediately to find a home and I quickly realized that this woman is a customer service machine! She was always available at a moment’s notice to set-up appointments and show houses. Regardless of how difficult I made her life with my last-minute approach to scheduling, she would always arrive ontime and with that same bright smile. Needless to say, when it was time to sell, we knew who to call for a professional approach and top-notch service - Nutan Brown. Consistent with my last-minute approach, we asked Nutan if she could list our home immediately. Before we knew it, she had a team of people helping to prepare our home and we were ready for showings within a couple of days. Nutan was superb during the negotiation process. Her calm and eloquent cadence kept us composed and grounded even when discussions became heated and energized. Within six days there was a sold sticker affixed to the sign on the front lawn! Hiring Nutan to help us was a no-brainer. Her knowledge and support helped us navigate the largest single transaction of our lives with confidence. We know that with Nutan working for us, everything would be done promptly, completely and professionally. Sincerely, Kev & Shawna Winters Buying or Selling a home is a very personal decision. It involves weeks, even months, working with your real estate representative, building a relationship based on trust, confidence and exceptional service.
Thank You For The Opportunity!

LAUNDRY ROOM RENO An organized and well-designed laundry room can make everyday chores quicker and easier. Refreshing this space is a great project for spring.

MAKE A PLAN AND MAKE IT RIGHT. As with any home renovation, planning is the key to success. Know the timing and budget for your project, but be flexible. Leave time and money for unexpected delays and surprise discoveries once you get underway.
GE Top Load Washing Machine
SELECT THE RIGHT APPLIANCES. THINK MULTIFUNCTION. As you prepare your design and layout, consider all the steps involved in doing laundry, and how you might want to incorporate them into the space. Do you hang a lot of your clothes to dry? Want to fold clothes right in the space? Need shelving for storage? Mapping out what you want before work begins will ensure the final product is a multifunctional room that meets all your needs.
BRING IN THE PROFESSIONALS. As with any home renovation, planning is the key to success. Know the timing and budget for your project, but be flexible. Leave time and money for unexpected delays and surprise discoveries once you get underway.
Spend as much time choosing your appliances as you do your paint colour, and look beyond style to find functionality that will make your life easier. Top-load laundry pairs, like GE Appliances' Designer Line Evolution, are making a big comeback because of their ergonomic design, reliable performance and the fact that they don't retain moisture, which can lead to issues with mould and mildew.
FINISH WITH FLOORING. You want to choose a material that's going to give you the biggest bang for your buck. Holmes' personal pick for this room is tile because it's durable, relatively low maintenance and very easy to clean. Find more information on appliances at geappliances.ca.

Tu rkeyKALE
MEATBALLS SERVES

dding kale to your meatballs acts as a great binder and of course increases the nutrient profile enormously! Kale is a great source of calcium, Vitamin A, C and K.
DIRECTIONS STEP ONE
Cover a prep sheet or tray with parchment paper. Heat a cast iron or stainless steel sauté pan on low heat. Make sure the pan has some sort of lid, it does not have to be a match but something that will work. STEP TWO
In a large mixing bowl, mix together the garlic, tomato paste, salt, paprika and pepper. Add the kale and mix well. Add the turkey and mix well. STEP THREE
INGREDIENTS • 1 pound of minced turkey • 1 cup defrosted frozen kale, excess liquid squeezed out before measuring, I use Cookin’ Greens (about 2 cups frozen) • 1 large clove garlic, minced • 1 tbsp tomato paste • 3/4 tsp sea salt • 1/2 tsp paprika • 1/4 tsp medium-grind black pepper • 3 tbsp olive oil for the pan NOTE: I usually defrost the frozen kale by leaving
it out at room temperature for about 1 hour, or you can put it in the microwave, just make sure it is cooled before adding it to the turkey.
Shape into 16 medium size balls. STEP FOUR
Heat the olive oil in the pan and place the turkey balls in the oil, raise the heat to medium and fry on one side for about 2-3 minutes, flip and repeat. Add 2-3 tbsp of water to the pan and immediately cover the pan and cook for 8 minutes. STEP FIVE
Eat on their own with the pan juices or add to your favourite tomato sauce. DELICIOUSDISH
