  I had no idea when I developed this shake recipe that people loved Butterfinger so much. But you guys really, really do.

Let’s travel back…back in time…before surgery…to our former selves…yes it’s scary…but let’s go there for just a moment. Raise your hand if you ate at Applebee’s before surgery. (raises hand) Now keep your hand up if you happened to notice a drink …

~by Nikki Just when you thought we’d run out of decadent ways for you to get your protein, here we come again with a brand new shake! I have to admit this one took me by surprise. When I first thought it up, I figured I’d have to tweak it here and there to get it where I wanted it. …

~~posted by Jen It’s been a long week, you’re stressed out from work, the kids, and everything else in your life. Nothing would make you happier than a nice tall adult beverage, right? We can relate! It’s been a hectic few days putting the finishing touches on our Holiday Preview for tomorrow afternoon! But alcohol doesn’t really fit in our …

We’re on the countdown to our first ever Holiday Preview this coming Saturday, so Jen and I have been busy making our lists and checking them twice. Please …

~~posted by Jen The world of protein shakes can be a confusing and sometimes difficult one to make your way through alone. Nik and I both struggled with finding a protein that we liked early out.
