Spaghetti squash is one of those veggies where there are as many ways to prepare it as people to prepare it. That is to say, my method isn’t the only method, just the one that works best for me. If you have another method, by all means share it with the Foodie Nation (in the comments section)! Wait…let’s back up …

 You know what’s been missing on this blog lately? FOOD! So what better way to jump back into playing with our food than with a spin on one of my fave breakfast foods. Corned beef hash. Oh how I miss it! And miss it I did until I had a light bulb moment (these are few and far between …

Is it wrong that I wanna bust out in the “cuppie cake song”?  You ever get wind of an idea that was so good you wish you had thought of it? But you can’t. You really can’t. It’s not honest or ethical — even if it would earn you a place of eternal glory. This is one of those …

Note to self: with kickass new blog design, sucky phone pics are no longer acceptable!!! Oh…what should come first? The cupcake or the icing? Decisions, decisions!!! For those that don’t know, I am a protein baking freak. Yes, I know of the Pillsbury Sugar-Free cake and brownie mixes and accompanying frostings. I appreciate the fact that Pillsbury is trying to …

So…strawberry protein. It’s sort of a conundrum to me. I’m not the biggest fan but then I wasn’t a strawberry milk person either. I like actual strawberries. Just not strawberry protein so much. So that is to say I always alter strawberry protein. Here are my one-ingredient fixes for strawberry protein to go along with the ones I’ve already offered …

In many circles, being called vanilla is an insult. But I think those people don’t know the true joy of vanilla. Even though I am a chocoholic all the way, I can appreciate a good vanilla for what it is. But with protein shakes, I guess my sensibilities just lean more toward chocolate, which is why there are so many …

So I recently published my “protein shake check-up” so you can make sure your protein shake is still on the right side of your plan. As I read through that, I began to think of all the wonderful ways we have of dressing up our shakes that add little or no calories to the equation. It’s interesting to me, how …

I posted about these the other day on Facebook and wanted to flesh out my review a little bit more. So picture it. Baltimore. 8:30 a.m. Nik is in a rush to get to work but needs a couple of things from the drug store. While there, Nik remembers that she packed no lunch today (boo!). So Nik goes to …

(This recipe is brought to you by Trader Joes. Yummy!) So the divas and I went to Trader Joe’s the other day. For us this is a trek but it’s well worth it. I always try to pick up at least one thing I’ve never tried before to broaden my horizons. So this time I got some Spicy Jalapeno Chicken …

 So you’ve found the PERFECT protein shake. You’ve tested, you’ve tweaked, you’ve tested, you’ve tweaked and now it is divine. And Nik has to come and mess it all up! It’s good, as we’re playing with our food, to every once in a while do a “check up” on our protein shakes (with all our recipes really) to make …
