Don’t over analyze anything. It will destroy you. You have to just take life as it comes and as hard or easy as that may be, just let it happen.
If you think positive, I can assure you positive things will come. Manifesting what you want is not bs. The key is you truly have to put your heart and soul into what you want. There is no pretending either. You have to give it your all.
Don’t stop. It is possible.
Okay, so now that I entered my 50’s, I realized that your body definitely changes over time. This means that you have to put in extra effort to take care of yourself. I was always able to eat whatever I wanted but as of late, I noticed certain foods are affecting me differently so I have been doing trial by error and the elimination process. I find that gluten free foods are definitely beneficial to my diet. Oh how I love banana bread!!
Every little bit helps!
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
You can use either a 9 inch loaf pan or 4 small individual loaf pans (I like the individual ones so I can freeze them and take them out when I need one or give to a friend).
Whisk together the dry ingredients of 2 cups gluten free flour blend, 2 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, 1 tsp baking soda, and ½ tsp salt. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, mix 3 eggs, ¾ cup milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ½ cup vegetable oil, 1 tbsp of maple syrup, and ¼ cup sugar.
Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients then add the 3 mashed bananas to the batter. Stir until well mixed.
Bake at 350 degrees F for 45-55 minutes or until the top of the bread is lightly golden.
Check the bread after 40 minutes. Take either a tooth pick or butter knife and pierce to see if any batter sticks to either. I usually watch to see if the top of the loaves turn golden brown and base my cooking time on that.
Awesome when served with butter!!!
This is my third time making these but it finally came out exactly how I anticipated it would!

The first day of the new year we decided to do some snowmobiling with some friends. Weather was perfect. It was actually my first maiden voyage. I hope there is many more to come. 
My thing is, I like to take bits and pieces of recipes and give them my own touch. I’ll call this one Gia’s Meatballs. They came out so moist and had such a great flavor to them. Ok listen, here is the deal, I always give or take some of these ingredients. To me cooking is not an exact science and sometimes I don’t always have all of these ingredients in my cupboard. So you can play around with it until you master it yourself.
1 lb ground beef (80% lean meat)
1 chopped green bell pepper
1 chopped Vidalia onion
2 tbsp of minced garlic
1 tsp salt
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 tsp each of onion and garlic powder
1 1/2 tbsp basil
1 tbsp parsley
1 tbsp oregano
1 cup of bread crumbs
2 eggs
I usually put some of the meatballs right into my sauce for flavor and then I pan fry the rest but this time I baked them in the oven and they happen to come out a lot juicier and they weren’t fried in grease.
