Sisters, come on in and grab a cup of tea and lets talk about becoming more Healthy in 2011.
I plan to add something new and healthy every week to my menu. I pray I will be successful.
If you have not figured out, I love soup.
This week I conquered Spinach and Lentil Soup.
I am trying to lose weight this year. I have been encouraged by a few blog friends and I have gotten a few blog referrals to read and check out. I didn't know that there were so many blogs focused on shedding pounds. Here are a few to check out.
