I have a slight obsession with dates. What some say that they are too sweet for them, but for me they make for a perfect ingredient that transforms anything into tasting more like dessert without added sugar! Roomie requested more homemade granola bars this week so I decided to try combining my favorite recipe with [...]

I love the NFL playoffs, especially when my team is in it! YouTube is going to be running an “ad blitz” and asked for party recipes among other videos, so I decided to throw my hat into the race for a chance to have my videos featured. I first made my Salsa Chicken 2 ingredient [...]

I love eating peanut butter with celery as part of my diet plan for meal #4. Rarely am I satisfied though with 2 tbsp of peanut butter which comes out to 200 calories. I eat as much celery as I want but still it’s not the same without peanut butter. I recently came up with [...]

Since my diet plan calls for eating small meals 5 times a day, I really look forward to eat meal and making it delicious. Grocery shopping is something I love to do, and perusing the isles is time well spent. I put a lot of time and effort into some of my favorite mini meals. [...]

This morning I had a mini protein pancake before the gym. Typically, I wait to have it after but I knew I wanted to work hard so breaky was necessary. At the gym, I tried out this workout from Women’s Health Magazine I got in my inbox yesterday. It was titled, “The Fastest Way to [...]

There are many other food combinations that we rarely deviate from but when we do, that’s when you have a flavor explosion. Eating a clean diet plan can get boring if you are afraid to experiment.

I admit I’ve bought soy protein because it was cheap. I use protein powder daily for my breakfast pancake. I choose whey protein (isolate if you can afford it) sweetened with stevia. I know it was the best way to go but now there is science that proves it is better than soy protein when [...]

Having a little fat at each meal is good thing, a very good thing! In college, after I lost my “Freshmen 15” I feared fat. I steered clear from nuts and cheese. I was a low-fat junkie. I was always hungry, in a bad mood and would often restrict myself so much during the day [...]
