After so many recipes using protein powder you would think that by now I would have run out of ideas, but that is never the case in my kitchen. I am always whipping up something new, some fun way to add more protein into my diet that isn’t your typical shake or smoothie. Playing around with protein and protein infused foods has made my diet so much tastier. One big suggestion I have is to make sure that your cabinets are stocked with only natural, organic and good for your baking ingredient ...

If there is one flavor that I love but can never find enough baking ingredients with it that are healthy, it’s Red Velvet. I was very excited to get my hands on the brand new flavor of protein peanut spread from Buff Bake in Red Velvet. Once I tried this I knew I had to come up with a fun recipe (or a few) to add this to. I can’t remember the last time I had an actual donut, it has to be a few years – so it was a great opportunity to try to make a h ...

One of the best meats you can consume is grass fed organic ground beef – so this recipe includes this as well as lots of healthy ingredients and no bread crumbs!

I am so excited that football season is back! There is nothing I like more than Sundays with a kitchen humming, making lots of fun appetizers, dips and snacks while watching the games. Fall is also my favorite season of the year, so I am in my glory as we approach the cooler weather and weekends indoors. One of my favorite and staple snack items when we host for games is guacamole – as I am sure every one does as well. I like to make a tray of healthy “scooping” options like cel ...

I have become a big fan of using natural protein powders that are free of artificial sweeteners and other fillers, and I have to say that the NutriWhey by Nutriforce Sports makes a natural protein powder in flavors that I think most would enjoy. I like the NutriWhey Belgian Chocolate protein powder, it actually has tiny chunks of chocolate bits in it which is tasty at the bottom of your protein shake. I use this with some organic skim milk or unsweetened almond milk< ...

A tasty recipe for muffins made with protein powder, peanut butter and some other good for you ingredients. Swap your morning muffin for one of these. Most of the muffins you find in the convenience store are probably one of the worst things you can grab on the go. Most are over 400 calories and loaded with processed ingredients. They will give you a spike in insulin and leave you tired and crabby soon after. They also have no real protein content, which is where this recipe comes in handy.

Did you ever just look into your fridge and find a bunch of “stuff” and decide to just put it all together and see what comes out? Are you sometimes surprised with how amazing the dish turns out to taste? That is what happened the other day when I looked into my refrigerator and saw a package of Trader Joe’s Sun Dried Tomato Chicken Sausage and thought “what can I do with this?” I had never bought their chicken sausage before, but after looking at the macros I realiz ...
