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? […]

Our Wild and Crazy St. Patrick’s Day
March 20th, 2012 
LeeAnn On St. Patrick’s Day, as a million people were making their way into Savannah for a gorgeous day of drinking and revelry, my husband and I … left town. Am I getting old or what??? I didn’t even give it a second thought. Instead, we drove to Charleston, to go to two of my favorite […]
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. It became my comfort food. Until about my fourth decade, I would eat Campbell’s Tomato Soup at least three or four times a […]
Spicy and Sweet
February 17th, 2012 LeeAnn This past week was cold, dreary and busy. In other words, it was the perfect time to make a big pot of soup to last throughout the week. I found this recipe for Crockpot Burrito Soup at Elly Says Opa and made a few adjustments. Here is the recipe as Elly has it: (serves 6) […]

A Day in the Life of a Vegetarian
January 31st, 2012 LeeAnn There are many healthy living bloggers who daily document what they eat. I love to surf those sites at night, looking for new ideas for dinner. 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 […]
Surviving December
December 6th, 2011 LeeAnn December is somewhat tortuous for me. The type of law I practice (commercial finance) is extremely busy around year-end. Everyone, for various reasons, wants to get the deal closed before January 1st. While the poor economy has significantly slowed down the volume of my work (which is not necessarily a bad thing), there is still a year-end push. […]
In Celebration of our Faithful Companions
November 24th, 2011 LeeAnn I am so thankful for my many blessings – including my husband (we are celebrating our twelfth anniversary this weekend), my parents, my family (including my husband’s amazing family) and my incredible friends. Despite this, I have really struggled with this Thanksgiving post as I have friends and acquaintances who are alone and having difficulties this […]
