Wow I've been busy!

So I'm getting ready to temporarily move to L.A. so I've been busy and not posting. However, I do have recipes. To make up for my laziness here are two!

First a friend of mine wanted my turkey burger recipe so here it is:
(disclaimer it's based off a recipe from The Biggest Loser Family Cookbook)


1 lb ground turkey
pam olive oil spray
1/4 cup Old Fashion Oats
1/4 Skim milk (I like the HEB Mootopia that has 12g protein)
1 green pepper chopped
1/2 a large onion chopped
1/2 cup frozen corn, reheated
1 large egg

In a small bowl, mix oatmeal and milk make sure all the oatmeal is moist. Let sit for at least 2 minutes. Mix in rest of ingredients. Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to portion out burgers. Spray pan with pam and cook until turkey is white through out. Enjoy as you would a normal burger.



My new FAVORITE no guilt treat is a protein smoothie!

1 cup frozen fruit (I like the mixed berry bag at Costco but any will do)
1/2 can of pineapple in lite syrup with all of the "juice"
1 cup FAGE 0% plain yogurt
2 scoops of chocolate whey protein (I like either the Apex Double Chocolate or the EAS Advantage Edge powder)

Basically it's a smoothie so you are going to need a blender. In the blender first pulse the frozen fruit. Then add the ingredients one by one down the list blending before adding the next one.

For an extra kick, try adding a couple bananas before you add the protein powder or try a fruit flavored protein powder. It makes a rather thick smoothies, to thin it add skim milk!

I'm sorry folks no pictures today because I didn't actually make either of them today, but I'll add them as soon as I have them along with the nutrition information.

My new year's resolution (along with being financially solvent, haha) is not be a better poster!

Return of the Queen

Well I'm back in Texas and the New Year's parties are over. I haven't been cooking with the trip and the parties. But alas I have a slew of leftovers in the fridge and plan on sharing my creations with you all.

One thing I've been making for lunch lately is what I call my chocolate pudding. I take a serving of Fage 0% plain yogurt with two scoops of my favorite protein powder which right now is Apex double chocolate powder.

Enjoy the new year everyone. I'll be back with a new recipe tonight or tomorrow.
