I’m usually one to do fruits and dairy in the morning, complete with a big heaping scoop of whey protein powder. In other words, I tend to do smoothies, parfaits or soft serves. If not that, then pancakes, breakfast bakes or oatmeal. I’ll even do cake, sometimes… Bottom line is, I’m usually in the mood for a good [...]

However, not all protein powders are created equal and when you start analyzing them, you realize that a lot of them contain all sorts of “unwanted added [...]

Meet my new obsession. Lettuce wraps! Although I have yet to learn how to actually make them into a decent wrap. But hey, having no talent whatsoever to make cute little wraps doesn’t bother me at all. In fact, I don’t even mind that they look nothing even remotely close to a wrap. Just scooping [...]

Lent has officially begun. (OOF!) And what better way for me to kick off this year’s Lent Challenge than to present you with a recipe that has absolutely nothing in it that I could be eating today, or even this entire month, for that matter.

Follow me here? Special occasions… As in [...]

Now that we’ve prepped some beautiful chicken breasts and made a delicious Low Fat Chicken Stock, we might as well just keep going and put all of that to good use, shall we not? So how’s about we continue right where we left off and make a super nutritious, slow cooking, warm-you-from-the-inside-out, Chicken Pot-Au-Feu? I [...]
Low Fat Chicken Stock – Make Your Own at Home

There are some things in life that we tend to take for granted. Like making chicken stock, for example. To me, making stock has always been a very natural thing; a fantastic way to put chicken bones and vegetable scraps, or those slightly tired vegetables that had once seen better days, to good use. It wasn’t until recently [...]
