Using up some things in the fridge. One of the best approaches to eating healthy for me – having a variety of items to choose from.

Vanilla Banana Crepes with Cinnamon Apple Pieces
While on a business call, this recipe came up. Since I have some TLS Vanilla on hand, it was the perfect start to a well developed recipe. Most of the time someone comes up with a recipe and you have to go to the market to buy all the ingredients. Well for me, this wasn’t…
