Kate, way to go, and so glad the blog has been so helpful.
This is such a great list! I have company coming for the weekend, and the breakfast casseroles look great. Thanks again for all you have put into this website. I've lost about 25 pounds so far since March, and having resources like this has been a huge help. Thanks again!
