Spectacular Healthy Pancakes with Chocolate Chips

Pancakes, they are, home-made, hot, delicious and so satisfying. We love pancakes in my house. We eat them at least once a week for dinner and then save them in the freezer to warm in the morning for breakfast too. So after much discussion on Twitter about my pancakes, I am going to share the secret recipe with you.

Belts are IN! Put your Belt on Ladies!!

I just read a great article about belts in the WSJ. Since I am a dedicated WSJ reader, I ALWAYS read the fashion section. All kinds of belts are in now. You can wear a corset belt, a loose hanging belt that lays at your hips, a traditional belt to hold your pants up (must for the low-waisted pants), and a metallic chain belt and so on. You can look like Michelle Obama with her high-waisted sweater belt look, or have a belt to squeeze in your tummy as a girdle. Belts have not been in style for way to long. The last time I remember belts being popular was when I was a teen. So, now it is time to bring out your belts. Add a belt to a dress, a sweater, a shirt, pants, well pretty much anything. I have found some wonderful belts at estate and garage sales. I picked up four real Coach Belts for $1 each at a recent rummage sale. I was so excited to see that they were real Coach Belts; I grabbed them and didn't try them on. When I got home, guess what? Three of them were too big! I can't even wear them without them falling down. Oh well, so much for my bargain. They are going to end up on eBay soon. I hope that I can sell them for more than a $1, and then I can recoup my investment! I might even consign them at the local consignments stores @Jane or @greenestreetconsignment. These are two of my favorite stores in Princeton. A must when you come to Princeton, NJ.

Starting the New Year with lots of Color

Wow, fabulous Sunrises and Sunsets in the last couple of days.  I start running in the dark and as the world slowly awakes from its slumber, the clouds and sun start to make beautiful color patterns.  Incredible what happens. 

 The sky is so pink, puffy and blue!  What a great way to wake up.

Have a great New Year.  Wake up early, run in the dark, and then watch the sun come up.  There is no better way to start the day.  Now Take Your Day On!!

New Year, Starting Over

Its that time of the year again.  To start fresh, turn over a new leaf, do all the things that you have been putting off.  What should I do first?  Big Question!! Lose 8 pounds #1, Put all my negatives on the computer #2, clean the house more #3, that is enough for now.  Oh, I almost forgot, take more pictures with my new camera.
