Eggs are like little pills of protein- a staple of those looking to lose weight or build muscle (or both!) The problem is, eventually you can get sick of them. Real sick. So I do my best to try and doll them up any way I can. Deviled eggs are a comfort food for me, [...]

Breakfast can be tricky when you’re trying to watch your carbs, or cooking for someone who needs to be gluten free. I tried two recipes, both were successful (one more tasty than the other) and both are good for different needs. The first recipe is great for someone who is seriously watching their carbohydrate intake, [...]

I was having a hard time with the idea of choking down another combination of protein, peanut butter and bananas. You can only dress those up so many ways. This combination was light and tasty, and a welcome change of pace. Peaches and Cream Protein Shake 1 Scoop vanilla protein powder (I enthusiastically recommend Jay [...]

That’s weird, because I have no problem putting away a half pint of Ben & Jerry’s if left to my own devices. Fiber, people! Fiber, and lean, low fat protein. Healthy carbs. [...]

So, I feel credible in giving that first statement. We’ve been consistent gardeners for several years now, from small containers to raised beds. Typically I plant [...]

Well, we know how my last pinterest attempt went (read: Pinterest Fail) This one went a lot better! It was a Sunday, and I wanted a little indulgent yet easy brunch. I popped some canned cinnamon rolls on the waffle press and voila! It was fantastic. I had some leftover glaze from some Pizza Hut [...]
