Chocolate Banana Pancakes

Banana dark chocolate chip pancakes anyone? I mean seriously who doesn’t love pancakes. OK well, except the tire you get around the middle from eating wheat!

Time to Change Your Channel?

Don’t like what you see, then quit observing. Quit talking about it, thinking about it, asking others what they think about it, because you will never find a solution by focusing on the problem.  If you are unhappy with where you are in your life then stop the madness and change the channel you are watching in your mind.
