Tech Tip Tuesday: How AI Helped Me Meal Prep Like a Pro (And Still Sell Beach Houses!)
By Beth Terminella, Realtor – Crystal Beach, TX

In the hustle and bustle of real estate, especially here on the Bolivar Peninsula, meal prep isn’t always at the top of my priority list. Between showings, community events, and helping clients find their dream beach home, it’s easy to fall into the “grab something quick” trap.

But this week? Something changed.

Thanks to a little nudge from my daughter (who’s much more tech-savvy than I like to admit), I gave AI a try to help plan out my meals—and it honestly blew me away. Not only did it help me eat better and stay energized, it actually saved me time and money.

So I’m sharing my AI-generated grocery list and healthy recipes, all based on sale items from The Big Store in Crystal Beach, in case you want to give it a try too!
