Hi, my name is Kay Lewis, a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, where cooking is a part of who we are. Now at https://quickleankitchen.com, I will share a low-cal version of a few good meals with less prep and cook time, fewer calories.
Over the years, life blessed me with two wonderful sons. Today I’m the proud grandmother of six. In the Past, cooking has always been my way of keeping family close. I remember gathering around the table, laughing. Today, the modified meals are recipes that will not return to weigh you down. You won’t miss the calories; you will enjoy the satisfaction without the guilt.
I want to share, and enjoy all the comfort and richness of my own traditional dishes I grew up with — but in less time and with fewer calories. So, I started tweaking and reimagining my favorite home-style recipes into quicker, lighter versions that still deliver all the flavor, color, and comfort that make Southern cooking so special.
Now, meals made with love, heritage, and a whole lot of flavor — perfect for busy families who want to eat well without spending hours in the kitchen, or hundreds at the grocery store.
Welcome to my kitchen — where every recipe tells a story, and every bite feels like home, where the just aroma leaves that warm and fuzzy feeling inside, but without the calories.
I’m happy to share as many recipes as I can here at https://quickleankitchen.com
Now, I share meals made with love, heritage, and a whole lot of flavor — inspired by the soulful traditions of New Orleans and the lessons passed down through generations. Each dish is thoughtfully crafted for busy families who want to enjoy real, home-style cooking without spending hours in the kitchen or hundreds at the grocery store. My goal is to show that you don’t need fancy ingredients or long prep times to create something delicious — just a few simple staples, a touch of creativity, and plenty of heart.
