BF Family Style: Nik’s Chicken Bacon Ranch Wrap
We’ve begun to post kid-friendly recipes, but not very many things geared toward the whole family. My family is my kids and I, but I realize some of you have hungry spouses who want to eat well too. My kids and I used to be McDonald’s fanatics before surgery (I stopped being one when I read “Fast Food Nation,” the divas …

Is it perverse to lick your screen? Oh…it is? MY BAD! Tostadas are one of those go-to recipes for me when I need a quick meal. They are notoriously easy to make and you can make them out of nearly anything. This tostada is a fall back favorite. I am a big turkey fan (if you can’t already tell) so …

Basically, it’s a …
Read More »Protein Banana “Rum” Cake (with peanut butter frosting!)
This recipe was born of a craving for cake. And not just something cake-flavored. I wanted a cake. But as we all know, cake usually ends in calamity (whether that be dumping, a blood sugar drop or just intense guilt). So I had to rethink cake. I know there is sugar-free cake mix .

My friend Pam. You’ve heard me mention her a few times, right? Well, she sent me a box for Christmas, bless her heart.

~~by Jen So we’re expecting another big snowstorm in NJ starting tonight. I work for a utility company in my “day job,” so I am considered an “essential” employee. That means I get to go to work, snow or no snow. We’re told to always bring a change of clothes and extra food when big snow storms are predicted, that …
