According to my children, pumpkin time is over. This, of course, led to a discussion of the popular Christmas songs that actually include pumpkin references. (By the way, I could actually only think of two: “Hear Those Sleigh Bells Ringing” and “No Place Like Home for the Holidays” but if you can think of  others, help me build my case!!!) …

(Side note: How’s THAT title for search engine optimization? Hi, pervs!) It’s been a few years since I introduced the Foodie Nation to the Triple X Method of Making Protein Shakes, which results in triple-thick protein shakes. Since then I’ve heard a lot of feedback from you guys. For some of you the method works great. For some, not so …

#PWYF = Play With Your Food and is also how I’m going to start to denote the awesome recipes YOU send me! This one is from Dana. He’s been reading BF for a LONG time and I value his perspective on post-op life. After letting me know he’s ok (he lives in the Boston area, ya see) he sent along …

So now that three of you are all hooked up to get a canister of Click decaf let’s get to my opinion of the stuff, shall we? You all voted and the results were clear: you all wanted me to review to use my sample to make a Click Frapp! If you don’t know what a Click Frapp is, start here. …

 Raise your hand if you have a kid that just can’t get into breakfast. You beg, you plead, you guilt trip and still nothing. They are perfectly content to go through the whole morning without eating.

Favorite Junk Food Swap Drink: Nik’s “Samoan” Hot Chocolate I’m in the midst of Girl Scout cookie season over here (both my girls are scouts). This drink keeps …

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 …

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 …

 It’s been a while since I posted a protein shake recipe. There is a good reason for that. It’s been a while since I’ve actually had a protein shake. Don’t get me wrong, I still love my shakes. But as I get further out, I’m capable of getting all my protein from solid food and these days I’ve been …

 …and then there was one. Now you’d think I’d learned my lesson last week about non-scientific product reviews. After all, I have now come out of my pocket and bought yet ANOTHER protein powder (I am now at critical mass, by the way) so I can figure out where the brownie batter phenomenon comes from after using the Everlast HypePlex Chocolate.
