Sandra Lee has a passion for simple solutions that create dramatic results in all areas of home life. She is editor-in-chief of Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade magazine, the host of two highly rated television shows (the multi-Emmy-nominated Semi-Homemade Cooking and Sandra’s Money Saving Meals), as well as a New York Times bestselling author of twenty books. An internationally-acclaimed home and food expert, Sandra Lee has revolutionized the way people think about traditional, time-consuming, “from-scratch” methods. With her trademark 70/30 Semi-Homemade philosophy, which combines 70% ready-made products with 30% fresh touches, Sandra Lee creates delicious meals and aspirational home environments that are affordable and attainable.

Sandra’s philosophy was born out of necessity and the challenges she faced throughout her childhood. The oldest of five children, Sandra Lee was responsible for caring for her four younger siblings and managing the household. Forced to live on welfare and food stamps, Sandra quickly learned how to turn budget-friendly foods into delicious and special meals for her family while stretching every dollar and every minute.

Why She Cares About Virtual School

Sandra Lee recognizes the flexibility that virtual school allows kids so they can take breaks to eat lunch, snacks and even help cook something healthy and exciting for lunch every day.  Sandra Lee is the National Ambassador of Share Our Strength’s Operation Frontline® program, in partnership with The ConAgra Foods Foundation. The platform is dedicated to raise awareness of the more than 12 million children in America who are at risk of hunger and don't have enough food to live active, healthful lives, and to aggressively pursue sustainable solutions in the fight against child hunger. The Foundation is committed to building a community of people who are passionate about ensuring that all kids have access to the food and facts they need to eat nutritiously, live balanced lifestyles, and succeed in school and life.
