Recipe Thursday Today’s recipe is more of a technique than an actual recipe. As usual, there’s a story leading up to this technique. It all started one day about 6 months ago when I was eating beef with string beans from my favorite Chinese restaurant and a lightbulb went off above my head. Why could I easily digest beef from a Chinese restaurant and have issues elsewhere? The beef is so tender and moist and did I fail to mention DELICIOUS [ + ]

  • Mondays, Murphy's Law

OK. I made the commitment so here we go. I have decided to dedicate a different topic to the different days of the week. I am calling this Monday Mania because I never quite seem to have control over Mondays. Am I alone out there? Thank goodness I am organized. Sunday night, I lay out all of my clothing for Monday. This may sound simple enough, but consider this: I have gym clients, pool clients, dance clients and tennis clients. Some day [ + ]

Protein Pudding, Protein Pancakes, Protein Anything (Well, Almost)!   I have become increasingly annoyed with the whole "high protein" pre-packaged food industry. I'm just not sure who I am annoyed with: The companies who manufacture them, or the people who are buying them. Let me be more specific. Recently, I saw high protein pudding mix and high protein pancake mixes. The costs were, in my opinion, outrageous. For instance: One comp [ + ]

  • matzoh lasagna, Passover

Matzoh Lasagna One of my favorite holiday recipes that people always request the recipe for. You can make this all dairy, or a combination of meat and dairy if you prefer. A 9X9 cake baking pan is preferred to accommodate the expanding matzoh, but you can use an 8X8 if that's all you have. Happy Passover! INGREDIENTS: 4 full boards of matzoh Cheese Filling: 16oz. part skim ricotta cheese 2 eggs 1/2c. Parmesan cheese 1/2 ts [ + ]

Peanut Butter Banana Protein Spread To be honest with you, I eat this straight out of the container. It's become my go-to breakfast. It also works as a bread spread, or a pancake/waffle topping. Be creative. It's really delicious, though admittedly it looks rather yucky. You can also alter the ingredients to add more protein powder or less peanut butter, but remember to also adjust the nutritional information. INGREDIENTS: 1 medium banana [ + ]

Granite Ware Chicken and Pork This old kitchen tool is one of my favorites, so I thought I would share it with you. I am not going to publish a specific recipe, because this tool is so versatile, you will find a million uses for it. I will, though, give you the basic concept: Buy a granite ware pot with lid. I bought my newest one at Walmart, and it was very reasonably priced. They make some with racks which is also useful, or you can get o [ + ]

Simple and Orange Recently, I wanted to try something new to drink. I am careful of sugar intake, but the taste of a fresh orange was somehow in my brain.  I put the mixture in a large container and take it to go. If I am playing endurance sports, I add a pinch of salt to the mix. Here's what I did: INGREDIENTS: 1 Fresh naval orange, peeled, quartered, and frozen 2. Handful of ice 3. 6oz. Water 4. Truvia, or another sweetener to taste [ + ]
