Homemade Clif Bars – Chocolate
As I briefly mentioned in this post the other day, I love Clif bars. They taste great and provide a good amount of protein and fiber. They’re perfect for a busy schedule when you just need something to hold you over. While I have nothing against buying Clif bars, they’re not exactly cheap, especially when you […]
Meat Free Monday: Pan Seared Tofu
Through my attempts at Meat Free Mondays/vegetarian cooking, I’ve discovered a few things – things that I wasn’t sure about when I began: Vegetarian cooking can be just as satisfying and delicious as any other type. You really don’t need meat (or nuts or eggs – hello, allergies!) to get enough protein into your diet. […]
Quinoa Oat Energy Bites

Chicken Cordon Bleu
This was in a 5-ingredient magazine (by Taste of Home), but I decided to add a few more to make it more tasty. If you use low-fat cheese, this recipe is actually pretty healthy, and packed with protein. I served mine with peas, roasted sweet potato, and brown rice with Craisins. Yum! Chicken Cordon Bleu […]
Homemade Protein Bars
Monday evening, I had wanted to make some granola to sprinkle in my Greek yogurt in the mornings. I remembered this recipe that I had found, and decided to use it. However, it wasn’t until I was mixing up the batter that I realized I had made a protein bar recipe instead of granola. I […]
