Double-baked sweet potatoes. Me likies. Here’s how:
Pierce the skin with a fork
Brush the skin with olive oil to keep it moist while baking
Bake at 375 for about 40 minutes
Cut in half, and scoop the contents of the sweet potato into a separate bowl
Mix with desired ingredients (e.g. shredded chicken, steamed broccoli, spinach, or other). This instance, I mixed the sweet potatoes with chopped red swiss chard, and chopped broccoli.
Okay, I have been delinquent, this I know. Time always seems to escape me. I put on my agenda 50 million things to do, and end up completing…one thing. One great thing I did today was make spaghetti and meatballs. Okay, it was squash and extra lean turkey. Same thing (oh yes, the mind games we play). When I set myself up with healthy foods around, I set myself up for success. This recipe is a total keeper for ...

Continue Reading →I decided to do a little experimentation, since I was in the kitchen. I mixed:
Dash cinnamon
4 tbsp all–natural crunchy almond butter
1/3 cup unprocessed bran
1 tbsp canned pumpkin
1 tsp light yacon syrup
½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond breeze (almond milk)
30 g chia seeds
4 scoops VPX graham cracker protein powder
1 scoop Nectar chocolate truffle protein powder
1 scoop All the Whey cake batter protein powder
It made this really sticky GOO.

(Ah, and there’s our doggy LUKE!! making his debut…)
This concoction is RIDICULOUSly good.
Just mix:
1/3 cup 1% fat cottage cheese (no salt added)
1 scoop VPX zero carb graham cracker protein powder (you can buy this here)
1 tbsp All Natural Barney Butter (crunchy) Almond Butter
And it totally tastes like graham cracker. That protein powder is not very good in shakes, but mixing it ...

Put steamed cauliflower in blender or food processor, and blend with:
1/3 cup FAGE 0% yogurt
1/3 cup egg whites
about 1 cup water.
I added dried chives, garlic powder, and black pepper.
It tastes like mashed potatoes! But it is nothing but cauliflower. Ah, I love the deception. The container below shows the finished product (I stored it in one big Tupperware, so I ...

I saw the chiropractor at work, and she says it may be bicep tendonitis…grr..(I know something has been wrong, but didn’t know what…)…so I may rest it some more 🙁 I hate rest! Anyway, I decided it was time to make some “anti-inflammatory” chicken. I seasoned the chicken breast with herbs that decrease inflammation, such as:
Cayenne
Tumeric
Ginger
Cumin
And threw the chicken breasts on the George Foreman grill (dang, I love that thing). ...

Mannnn does cooking take a lot of time!! Where has my morning gone? I steamed broccoli, brussel sprouts, grilled chicken, made protein treats, made faux mashed potatoes from cauliflower, etc…I wanted to share the fruits of some of my labor with you 😉 I am putting them in different posts (to follow) so they can ...
I had a great workout at the gym this morning. Perhaps it was a little artificially inspired by (cough cough) caffeine but it FELT GREAT! This marks the second week in my strength cycle, so I worked upper body, and (per my program) was able to increase my mileage to 35 minutes of jogging. Yeah! It feels great. My stamina has not returned to pre-injury stamina but I know that comes with time and persistence, so I am feeling so ...
