These ones pack a filling punch from oatmeal and whole wheat flour, yet are light, fluffy, and a bit sweet from the ‘nanas. Banana Oatmeal Pancakes 1/2 cup all-purpose flour…

Baked Quinoa and Chicken Parmesan
It’s been a little while since I’ve cooked something with quinoa, so I thought it was about time. Plus, since I’m trying to be healthy and all, it seemed to fit the bill. I’m pretty in love with Italian comfort food, but it’s definitely not in the get-skinny-for-the-Bahamas diet. This dish was an awesome lighter…
