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

I guess you could say we went out with a CRASH! :lol: We celebrated coming into 2009 by destroying the gingerbread house. [gallery columns="2"] The recipe I used, is one I would highly recommend. You can make it soft enough for cookies, or hard enough to build a 5-story castle ;) Loreta's Favorite Gingerbread Dough 5 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp salt 2 tsp ginger 2 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp nutmeg 1 tsp cloves 1 cup shortening (I used butter flavor crisco sticks-1) 1 cup sugar 1 1/4 cups molasses 2 eggs beaten In a large saucepan, melt shortening over low heat.

When shortening is half... read more 0 comments

With it being the Holiday Season, most people are busy baking, shopping and wrapping presents. This year, we were running behind schedule all due to the Gingerbread House. I will try to keep this post from being too long, but I first need to give you a little 'backgroud' on how this all came about. It all started about 6 years ago when my son was in pre-school. For every holiday a parent signed up to make/buy the centerpiece for the table where the children would celebrate. I picked Christmas of course. So for a centerpiece, you would think that it would be no big deal right? Wrong. These mothers would... read more 3 comments

It's already that time of year! Time to bake, bake, and bake some more. With all of that baking, there might be the temptation to do some sampling. Most of you would probably agree that a sample of the sweets would probably be not all the bad to do in terms of still seeing progress in your weight loss goals right? The problem usually isn't having one sample, its having a lick here, a bite there, etc. Those little 'samples' add up and before you know it, those pants are feeling snug. Trust me, I have been there. Every year our family makes a gingerbread house. Now I'm not talking a little store-bought kit....this is more like a mansion that... read more 0 comments
