I just made THE BEST GLUTEN FREE PANCAKES EVER.

Shit you not. I am not going to make this long and drawn out. Below are the ingredients and instructions. Have at it and let me know how you like them!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup of Bob’s Red Mill 1 for 1 Gluten Free Flour

2 tablespoons of sugar

1/2 table spoon of baking powder

1 teaspoon of salt

2 tablespoons of unsalted melted butter

1 1/2 cups of any kind of milk(I used almond milk)that’s all I had(get it to a nice consistency. – pourable)

2 teaspoons of vanilla extract

1 egg

INSTRUCTIONS 

  • In a large mixing bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in your mixing bowl.
  • In a large measuring cup, melt the 2 tablespoons of butter in the microwave.
  • Next, add vanilla extract to the milk and butter.
  • Whisk your egg well and add. to the previous mixture
  • Add the liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter will be slightly lumpy which is good. If the batter feels too thick to you, add a splash of milk and mix again.
  • Use a non stick frying pan or griddle, heated up and add butter or cooking spray.
  • Serve pancakes fresh with your favorite fruit and some warm maple syrup.
  • Store leftover batter in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. To make fresh pancakes, simply warm your frying pan and scoop batter directly from the refrigerator.

Not Sitting Right

If something isn’t sitting right with your soul, change it. It could be anything from your shoes, hairstyle, flower arrangement, residence, partner, friends, anything. Change it. Why feel off or carry that feeling of being uncomfortable?

Take time and think about what is irking you. There is always a way out. Some changes might take longer than others as well as the effort you put into it, but it can be done.

Do you feel that little off kilter ping inside your gut? Is it throwing your whole vibe/mood off? Develop a plan or just eliminate what it is that is annoying you, or making you mad/sad.

Get rid of that stressed out feeling.

How? First question, what is it exactly that is making you feel blah. Why is it making you feel that way? Is it something that can be easily or hard to remove out of your life?

By all means, not everything is easy just to make it go “poof” disappear. You might be dealing with a sick or dying loved one. In that case, do what you can to make that person or yourself feel better. If you are under stress because of it, there is no way you can make that person feel better or realize that your loved one is in a better place. Life is supposed to be celebrated. It isn’t healthy to hold on to something that was inevitable.

Holding on to the past is a definite way to induce those blah feelings. What’s in the past is in the past. Leave it there. Live in the here and now. Past relationships should be looked as a lesson in life and nothing else. Thinking in your mind, what could have, should have is not leaving any room for what can be.

Don’t let another second go by without realizing that it’s not okay to be not okay.

~ Keep it simple and sweet ~

Guest Blog for today my sister and author, Janina Grey

 April 24, 2022

Hello everyone! I would like to introduce my amazing sister and author, Janina Grey. She is a woman who has persevered throughout her entire life to reach her goal of becoming an author. Janina has met many obstacles that could have ultimately ruined her chances of becoming published and prevented her from accomplishing this long life goal that she pursued and never gave up on.

I encourage you to read her books because I can assure you in many ways you will be able to relate to her characters who make you feel that love is possible no matter what the circumstances are that could prevent it from happening.

I love you Bean and I am so proud of the woman and human being that you are. You are truly my inspiration and helped convince me that giving up was never an option.

**********

Thank you, Jeana, for inviting me to Guest Blog at your beautiful site. Simple Sweet Living feels like a warm hug, a pat on the back, or an encouraging talk every time I visit. Your words are down to earth and real, and it’s an honor to be a part of the Simple Sweet Living experience.

Traditionally, my guest blog experience is dedicated to completely promoting my books. But, in light of where I am posting, I’d like to refocus a bit.

Strong Women. We are the ones who have been dealt rough times over and over again, get knocked down, but pick ourselves up and say it will be better tomorrow.

Amazing Women. These strong women are amazing in that they refuse to let anything or anyone get them down. They are focused on goals. Protective of loved ones. Honest and hardworking. Positive and uplifting. Giving and nurturing. They will do anything for you if they count you as their friend or a loved one.

Resilient Women. Will only take so much crap. Then they re-assess their life, who they surround themselves with, and whether or not these people are real or fake, holding them down or lifting them up, and then they do what they have to do to make sure they are in the best possible place they can be – with or without the false people in their life.

Jeana is my role model. My inspiration. My mentor. Both for my own personal life, but also for the characters I create in my romance novels.

In my soon-to-be-released romance novel published by Soul Mate Publishing and set to release on Amazon.com on April 27, LIFE IS FOR LIVING, Jayde MacMillan is a KICK ASS SINGLE MOM, who is as ferocious as a Mama Bear, driven and motivated to provide for her two twin toddlers, and not afraid to go it on her own.

She is a lot like Jeana. And Me. And So Many Other Moms (Single or Not) I’ve had the pleasure to meet and get to know.


We are a hardy breed. And we deserve to be recognized, loved, looked up to, and honored.

So here is to all the Moms out there who put their dreams aside to become a mom. Here is to all the Moms who started out with a Dad in their kids’ lives but realized they had to make a tough choice and go it alone for the sake and sanity of themselves and their kids. Here is to all the FEARLESS WOMEN who pick themselves up DAY after DAY and keep moving forward because that is what we do.

You all are amazing, strong, resilient, inspirational women and deserve to be recognized and honored.

In LIFE IS FOR LIVING, Jayde will do what she has to do to keep her kids safe. In LOVE IN THE FOREST, Brooke Meadows will not be wooed or glamoured in exchange for her independence and wellbeing. In TEN BUCKS AND A WISH, Deanna Drake will not put up with any BS from any man, and will not be coerced into compromising her life dreams.

They all are in some way reflective of my path, my sister’s path, and the path of so many women in real life.

There is a phrase I’ve used in my life through my day job: Strong Alone, Fearless Together. That’s us. That’s the moms and single moms and the resilient women who refuse to be kept down. Who believe in goodness and kindness and who will settle for nothing less.

Thank you, Jeana for being an inspiration to me and for my characters.

You are an AMAZING WOMAN.

The House is a Mess

Posted by

Forget everyone else. What does everything mean to you? The big and the little. The fact that you love binging on Sex and the City and spending two days doing absolutely nothing, means that you can and who cares. The house is a mess, garbages are full, work needs to get done but eh it will eventually.

When it’s time to get your ass in gear you will. Don’t beat yourself up. When? When? When?

Take a deep breath. Look around. What needs to be done? Make a mental note of it. Wake up, sit up, and kick that road block down(when you’re ready).

Do a mass dump. Lol. Dump the garbages and dump the laundry in one basket. Get in the shower to get you motivated and while you’re in there, spray it down with some cleaner(not bleach) and scrub away.

Scrub away and wash whatever is keeping you in bed down the drain.

You’re entitled to a couple of non motivated days but eventually you gotta get going.

Whatever situation you’re in at the moment it’ll pass. Do something little to get your mind off of it. Get a roll of paper towels, spray down the toilet, sink, tub and scrub your little heart out.

It takes just one thought or action to get out of your slump. One step. That’s it. When you’re ready though. Don’t push. You’ll know.
