Stupid-Easy Pecan-Crusted Salmon.

I’m not a huge fan of cooked salmon.  Raw?  Yes.  Give it to me raw all day long, baby.  Cooked is a different story.
This has partially to do with my stint as a line worker in a fish-processing plant at the age of 17. That’s a story for another time, because this particular blog entry […]

Double Chocolate Pecan Shake (Yes, I swear it’s good for you.)

Sal has a hardcore sweet tooth.
Protein shakes have come a long way and, in general, they taste pretty good when made with dairy or soy milk - especially Jay Robb.  My sister especially loves BSN Chocolate Fudge flavor.
However, even chocolatey protein shakes are sometimes not enough to satisfy my sweets-craving boyfriend.  But I finally figured […]

This is Your Mouth on P90X: Island Pork Tenderloin Salad

 

Island Pork Tenderloin Salad from the P90X Cookbook.

If you like pork, this recipe is ridiculously good.  I made it for Sal on Saturday night and he spent the whole dinner moaning in delight.  There’s nothing better than making a Sicilian man moan over food. :)  The crunchiness of the cabbage and red peppers in the […]

Guilt Free Pancakes Just in Time for Saturday Morning

Who doesn’t love pancakes?
When I was a kid, I lived for pancake mornings.  On Saturdays I would shoot out of bed and rot my brain in front of cartoons for a few hours before my mom and dad got up.  Then dad would cook a big-assed batch of buttermilk pancakes while standing in his navy […]

Now is the Time for Squash: Eat Right with a Favorite Fall Recipe

Man.  When I was a kid I hated squash (further proof that kids are dumb ;).  Seriously, just the mention of it would send me into a fit of convulsions.
But I’m reformed.  I now recognize that squash is amazing and incredible!  Especially winter varieties which are much more flavorful than their summer brethren.
The coolest part […]

Wondertwin Powers Activate, Form Of: More Than 100 Ways to Eat Cottage Cheese

Sal just looked up from his desk (we work together) and said, “I wonder what would happen if you fried cottage cheese?”
This is quintessential Sal.  The Sicilian take on one of the healthiest protein sources out there: yes, but can you deep fry it??? 
I have no idea if you can fry cottage cheese or not […]

Like Pumpkin Pie? You’re Going to Love This Festive Jay Robb Protein Shake

I know what you’re thinking.
And, no, I don’t work for Jay Robb.  I don’t have a reseller’s agreement and I’m not even an affiliate.   I just happen to think they’ve got some really rockstar products.
Among them?
Yammit! Energy Nuggets
I happened to get my hands on some Yammits a while back and I have slowly been experimenting […]
