If there is one thing that I don’t have much of these days, it is time. The key for me is that I have to keep my routines in place and be extremely organized. So what in the world was I thinking when I signed up to do the Clean Program on top of everything else? […]

Sloppy Joes and Skinny Bitches
March 6th, 2012 
LeeAnn When I was growing up, we would usually have some type of sandwich for Sunday night dinner. I love continuing that tradition; I guess because it reminds me of my childhood, it makes me happy. Often, we would have sloppy joes, which I have probably not had in 25 years. Given that it has been […]
Delicious Tomato-Basil Soup
February 24th, 2012 LeeAnn I love soup (you probably know that). Tomato soup is my all-time favorite. When my brother and I were sick when we were kids, my mom would make us Campbell’s Tomato Soup.

I could never blog consistently about my own daily diet as the amount of repetition is extremely high. However, I often get questions, being a vegetarian, about what and how much […]

January 16th, 2012 LeeAnn Living in Savannah, I get asked about Paula Deen when I travel. I am not a fan of her food, but I have to respect her business acumen. She has done extremely well for herself and her family, and has also attracted people to Savannah. My husband loves banana bread. When we were last in […]
Blue Cheese Potato Soup
November 22nd, 2011 LeeAnn This is the third soup that I have tried from the 50 Simple Soups for the Slow Cooker cookbook by Lynn Alley. This one is my new favorite. This soup was creamy, rich and delicious. It tasted like it was full of fat and calories – but it was not. The recipe serves 4 to […]
