  1. My favorite of your blogs was your February Recipe: Golden Yam Bisque! Because it looks fairly easy to make & like something that would definitely be a hit in our household!

  2. This is my favorite article because, it offers the chance for a free meal, and that will always top my list, especially when it a chance to get some Caesar Salad and Joan’s Broccoli Madness, it doesn’t get much better.

  3. I forgot to tell u , I follow on twitter and facebook, I tweeted a link to this blog, and I will post daily your tweet. I am @lanieekat on twitter, thanks.

  5. I love the blog on sweet potato soup, as it’s my very favorite and I just had some down at Souplantation, Temecula, CA last week! Feel so very good after eating there. Feel healthy, instead of bogged down by heavy foods, like I usually feel after eating out in restaurants~
