About Me

What does it take to lose 150 pounds? Well, I'll tell you in a minute. First, let me say that every day is a new opportunity for this foodie! Experimenting with creating the delicious dish in my own kitchen is one of my great enjoyments. After visiting a new restaurant or the kitchen of a chef/friend, locally or on travels far and near, I'm always in a hurry to get back to my own kitchen and create, inspired by my recent discoveries. I've shared these discoveries with you on my Daily*Dishin blog for some time. Now, I'm bringing my fellow food lovers an all new experience with Delicious Lean. Since April of 2012 my husband and I have lost (collectively) 150 pounds! Yes, it's shocking to me to write that number. By eating "lean and green" and changing our habits to small, more frequent meals we've changed our health and looks dramatically. Since my cooking style has never made room for plain baked chicken, it's been my challenge to create flavorful and delicious dishes while keeping down the calories, carbs, and fat. It IS possible and you'll find something new every week at my Delicious Lean blogsite. And I'm continuing to blog about the classic southern fare I grew up eating along with new favorites at Daily*Dishin - I've just learned to enjoy in smaller portions and only for the occasional indulgence!   Alright, I have finally worked up the nerve to post these Before-and-After pics, even though I hate this horrible "before" picture. I will keep posting updates as I continue to lose so come back later!

**The program we've followed in our quest to better health is called Take Shape for Life, a program designed to change your habits for life not just a temporary "diet." We're both coaching others now and would be glad to help or answer your questions about how it all works.**
