It's All In How You Cook It

Saw Dust??? Can you believe my husband had the nerve to tell me my banana cookie was as dry as saw dust? :lol: I don't take it personal since I know I tend to like my things more on the dry side. What can I say? It gets me in the habit of drinking more water. :p This cookie is basically the same recipe as my other oatmeal cookies, but cooked in a different container. I wanted to show you how you can make it a different texture all by the size of your container and your settings on your microwave. Don't feel bad if it takes you a few times to gauge how long you... read more 3 comments

Breakfast On-The-Go

Being a military wife, I have become a 'single mom' for half of our marriage. You are probably wondering what that has to do with breakfast on-the-go right? Well, if you are anything like me, kids come first which leaves me last. I find that if I am not prepared and manage my time, cooking things like my eggs and oatmeal in addition to having time to eat them becomes nearly impossible. Or at least it seems that way. :mad: Portability I seem to be on the go a lot when Kevin leaves for deployment. And of course it starts first thing in the morning when I take the kids to school. Have you ever tried eating your eggs or oatmeal while... read more 1 comments

Another Post-Workout Favorite

How did I ever forget about my ever beloved Wasa Light Crackers? :lol: I was shopping the 'carb' section last week (I'm doing re-feeds currently) and there they were! I use to love these things post-workout (PWO)!! One reason being that I can have 2 of them and its only 9 carbs! HAHA! So I dropped them in my cart along with my Turtle Chex Bars, Polaners sugar-free strawberry spread, 100 calorie Nutter Butter Crisps, and headed for the register. Can you tell PWO is one of my favorite meals of the day? :D I'm always trying to find more ways to have more volume in my meals. So for this PWO I had 2 Wasa crackers with PB2 (powdered peanut... read more 4 comments

Low-Carb Pizza

This has gotten the seal of approval from my husband!! That should tell you a lot, considering he is very picky. :lol: This is a spin-off to my 'carb-less pancake'. I figured since my Buy Bulk Whey protein powder is unflavored, why not make a pizza crust by adding some italian spices. This turned out great!! The crust is a little chewy, but I prefer that over a quiche-like texture. If you prefer less chewy, I would suggest cooking it on lower heat for less time and also adding an egg white and less protein powder. Don't forget to check out www.buybulkwhey.com for this great protein powder! For Crust: 2 egg whites 20 grams Buy Bulk Whey Protein (or unflavored protein powder) Spices... read more 7 comments
