Recipes of the Scale! – Banana Chips!

Thanks again to Maggie for sharing an amazing alternative to the traditional Banana Chips. As a kid, I grew up on ‘hippie’ food – don’t take offence please, it’s just the truth. My mom canned, grew, harvested and made everything from scratch. We visited the co-op two towns away weekly in order to get healthy … Read more

Let’s Be Honest – When Setbacks Occur

What I love about people, is that we are all different. No chance I am the same as you, you are the same as her and she is the same as him. It’s true. And being in customer service (of some sort) for the last 23 years, this is what I have come to learn. … Read more
