20 Photos of Oprah Winfrey’s $90 Million Montecito Home While it is common knowledge that Oprah Winfrey is a media mogul (and philanthropist, though she doesn’t really advertise this fact), you may not realize that she is also quite the real estate tycoon. In fact, with homes all over the country, from an equestrian estate in Montecito, CA to rural farm property in East Maui, HI and a gorgeous, yet over-the-top $14 million mansion in Telluride, CO, she has plenty of places to call home. However, it’s her large estate in Montecito, often referred to as the Promised Land, where she can most often be found. A Quick Look at Oprah’s Montecito Property Oprah originally purchased the 42-acre estate for...
The Best Homemade Salsa Recipe! This homemade restaurant-style Salsa is one of my most frequently made recipes! It’s perfect served with tortilla chips or as a topping over your favorite Mexican food, like tacos, burritos, taquitos and so forth. The best party food around and a must-have snack!

Red onion – yellow onion can be used here as well. Green...

Kootenai County has several decent taco trucks and Central/South American food restaurants, but it has been lacking in Tex Mex cuisine . . . until now. In the last half of 2022, Oh Baby, a Texas-style Mexican BBQ food truck, opened its window on the north side of the Silver Lake Mall in Coeur d’Alene.

Inspired and motivated by the movie Chef, Mark and Heather decided to bring their love of great food and passion for this fusion cuisine to their hometown through a food truck. And maybe make people...
Descended from a family of school owners, Christophe Xavier Clivaz founded Swiss Learning in 2006 after his family sold their business. His idea was to create a for-profit umbrella company that would promote and attract students from around the world to Swiss boarding schools. 95% of the students at the 14 schools and two hotel management colleges that he represents are foreigners. But India has been a tough sell. There are only about 50 Indians in these schools. Maybe Indians are reluctant to send their kids to boarding schools far away, or maybe they feel that studying in the UK or the US is a better option, or the cost, which could be upwards of $100,000 annually, is a limiting...
