“I can’t handle it all” Wow those are tough words to say or swallow. In this lifetime I’ve learned the hard way, (which is the overcommitting till I have a complete bedridden stress-induced sickness), that I am not able to handle as much as some people are.

So being gluten free has its challenges, but it is much better for you in the long run. One of the things I miss the most is PANCAKES!! A big fluffy pancake with lots of warm syrup. What I didn’t realize growing up was that they aren’t all that good for you. Hormone filled eggs, milk, and processed flour along… Read more →
