A few Fridays ago I got a call from the Dr. Oz Show, one thing led to another and this dream came true! I’m a firm believer in being clear and direct about your intentions. With purpose and passion behind them, your dreams do come true.

I was so overwhelmed by all your support and everyone who tuned in to watch my five seconds of fame. In case you blinked missed it, here it is again in short and long version.

So about that pancake recipe I’ve been promising you. Here it is in all it’s glory! After the protein pancakes and now these, I’m done and done with pancakes for awhile.
