Transplanted from a small Indiana town, Lis'Anne now resides in sunny Florida with her husband, three sons, and a Chihuahua named Pinto Beanie. You can find Lis'Anne at www.lisanneharris.com or www.culinarycraftiness.com where she shares sometimes historical, sometimes healthy, always tasty recipes.
