Try this delectable recipe tonight, or surprise the mother in your world for breakfast!
What's better for dinner than...breakfast? Years ago, I used to make a baked pancake with apples. At the time my children were small and I was just finding my way around the kitchen. I never would have dreamed of altering the ingredients in any way, until now. After a few moments of digging through my trusty Betty Crocker Tin, I located the relic. Feeling adventurous, I decided against using the apples the recipe called for, opting instead to use what I had on hand: Bosch pears and fresh blueberries. The combination was so delicious, I had to share this out for Mothers Day; it's a great go-to dish, suitable for breakfast, brunch or dinner, and so easy you wont even notice spending those few minutes in the kitchen. The best thing about …

New business owner, entrepreneur Lauren Poussard, said opening her photography studio was serendipity.
Lauren Poussard faced a conundrum in her youth, when presented with the question "what do I want to be when I grow up?" A whiz with numbers, she was naturally drawn toward a successful career in finance. Conversely, she displayed an undeniable knack for photography from her early years. Poussard said she had a difficult time choosing between the abilities that came with ease, versus the talent that nurtured her creativity. What to do when you possess equal strength in both the left and right hemispheres of the brain? For Poussard, the answer was: "Do it all!" She laughed as she explained how her choices would have been easier if she had less skills. "I have no fear,” she said. “I would much rather do good things than any old thing." Love …
