Can you tell I am on a 'zest' kick? It is amazing to me how a little bit of lemon zest can go a long way! I admit that I am also on a cranberry kick. A special friend (thank you Cindy ;) ) got me hooked on her cranberry casserole last winter and lets just say I have a freezer full of cranberries :D As promised, I decided to make a blog post of a recipe that did not include protein powder. It does not mean you cannot use protein powder in the following recipe, instead you would just sub out the cottage cheese and replace it with protein powder. Ingredients 4 egg whites ¼ c (62g) cottage cheese... read more 1 comments

Ahhh my favorite part of the day. Hopefully I have just finished a butt-kicking workout and I am ready to eat. This is my opportunity to get really creative considering I can choose my carb choice including 'yummy junk' (in Anca's words). While only needing to keep it low-fat, my list of food ideas can get rather long. :lol: With all of the "100 Calorie" cookies, crackers, candy bars, etc. out there you can get really creative and make it the best treat ever!! Hopefully by now you have already watched the video of my "Wannabe Oreo Blizzard". IF you haven't...what are you waiting for?? This recipe is a follow-up to that one, but it's dedicated to all the peanut butter... read more 10 comments
