    Awesome wish list for me to hand over to my husband, Nicky. Thanks for putting this together for all of us foodies. I can testify that the 100 Days book is excellent. I’ve tried lots of Lisa’s recipes and they are fantastic.

      Check out the Lemonade Cookbook. It is from a healthy eatery in Southern California. I went there when I went to a conference and fell in love. It’s how we like to eat but with flavor combinations we never thought to use.
