4.14 61 Published Jan 02, 2022, Updated Sep 12, 2023 It can be a challenge to find protein-packed snacks that I actually want to eat! Greek yogurt bowls with fruit and granola have been my go-to for a while, but recently I was inspired to use protein powder, hemp seeds and coconut butter to make a low-sugar coconut protein ball for snacking. Ingredients Needed vegan vanilla protein powder – any vanilla protein powder works, I just recommend vegan protein powder to keep these energy balls vegan!...

But. I made a discovery tonight. Go to your Facebook page and look over at the left-hand side, right underneath your profile picture. Why, yes I do have 76 unread Facebook messages. Sent me a Facebook message and wondered why I never wrote you back? There’s your answer. You’ll see a link that says “Pages Feed.” And voila! There are all the pages you’ve liked, subscribed to, wondered if they fell off the face of the planet....

I honestly don’t know how I’ve been sharing recipes for years and yet I don’t have a recipe for BBQ tofu on my website! When I went vegan over 10 years ago, there was a BBQ tofu recipe from one of my very first vegan cookbooks (Veganomicon by the amazing Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero) that I made all the time. I think it was the first way I enjoyed eating tofu....

Earl grey eclairs or profiteroles are an easy and elegant pastry to make at home! While I know a thing or two about tea, I wasn’t always a fan of earl grey tea. But I’ve come to appreciate the flowery, fruity flavor of this wonderful tea. These earl grey eclairs, which can also be made into profiteroles, are a delectable dessert. The flavors are incredibly, almost sneakily, well balanced. There are 3 components to make these earl grey eclairs or profiteroles,...

Salmon is a favorite around here. It’s rich, flavorful and oh so nutritious. They say you should eat fish twice a week. Salmon is definitely one of those nights in our house. I also love that it’s so fast and easy to prepare. Whatever flavor you want to give it, you can usually whip up a salmon entree in 20 minutes, no problem. Yes, please! (Also check out this 2-ingredient easy Italian baked fish for another easy seafood dinner....

This recipe first appeared as a guest post on Cook.Craft.Love. This easy marinated shrimp appetizer is an old family favorite that I simply adore. I made this for my first ever dinner party, back when I lived with some girls in Washington, D.C. I had invited a small group of friends over to my house for New Years Eve and I had heavy appetizers planned for everyone. Including this marinated shrimp....

0 2 Published Oct 29, 2024 The thing I love most about this recipe is that there’s no need to boil or drain the potatoes. Just pop everything in your slow cooker, let it work its magic and a few hours later you’ll have perfectly soft potatoes ready to be mashed into creamy, smooth mashed potatoes! Using a slow cooker not only saves stovetop space, but it also keeps these potatoes warm until you’re ready to serve, which is such a game-changer especially when making a bunch of different recipes for the holidays....

If there’s one thing I appreciate in life, it’s good chocolate. I’m talking about quality, melt-in-your-mouth, close-your-eyes-while-you-eat-it chocolate. That’s the kind that goes on the secret-secret shelf in my pantry. It’s not the one I grab on my way out the door to football practice because I didn’t eat lunch and a chocolate bar seems like the most acceptable replacement. It’s the one that I wait to pull out until after my kids are all asleep because I earned it simply by making it through the day and I want to enjoy every last second of my decadent reward....

Ingredient Notes Greens – I use a mixture of romaine and spinach or spring greens, but any favorite leafy greens will do. I would avoid iceberg lettuce in this one. Chicken – I marinate 2-3 chicken breasts in Italian dressing and grill them up fresh (or a day ahead) for this salad. Really any leftover chicken will do! Rotisserie chicken is another great option. Simply leave out the chicken for a meatless option....

4.32 11 Published Dec 12, 2018, Updated Dec 03, 2021 I have a few all-time favorite holiday desserts and Christmas crack is right up there at the top of the list. I always loved having this as a kid, but then when I got old enough to help make it and realized what ingredients went into it, I was honestly shocked. I mean it did taste like there were loads of butter and sugar, but for some reason, I didn’t believe there could actually be that much!...

4.08 90 Published Jan 10, 2020, Updated Aug 13, 2024 How to Make the Perfect Baked Chicken Nuggets I have a secret tip for you. Are you ready? Marinate the chicken breasts in pickle juice. Sounds so weird, right? But many believe that’s exactly what Chick-Fil-A does to really flavor their chicken and it makes sense! So to make these nuggets, you’ll start by marinating them in pickle juice for 8-12 hours, or overnight....

4.65 196 Published Sep 16, 2019, Updated Sep 02, 2022 Obviously we love the final result, but I also have to mention how tasty the baked eggplant is on it’s own! It’s almond flour parmesan coating makes it crispy and so tasty. It would honestly be an awesome appetizer on it’s own, served with a side of tomato sauce for dipping. Ingredients in Healthy Eggplant Parmesan Before making eggplant parmesan myself at home I thought it was much harder and required more ingredients than it actually does....

This easy, healthy strawberry smoothie is made with just 5 ingredients, and it’ll keep you full and energetic all the way through to lunch! Coffee and I have a love-hate relationship.

A high protein quinoa and kidney bean salad is a great way to add more protein to your diet. Quinoa is a complete protein, meaning it contains all essential amino acids, and kidney beans are also a good source of protein. I also like to add protein-rich ingredients such as tofu, some nuts like almonds or cashews for extra crunch and protein. Ingredients For Quinoa Salad Quinoa: Cooked quinoa (Here’s How to Cook Quinoa Perfectly) Kidney Beans: Also known as rajma....

I come to today’s ideas for high protein snacks in a bit of a round-about way. See, I’ve long been a big fan of carbs and well-rounded meals. I’ve never done a low-carb diet or followed a keto or other lifestyle plan. Nothing wrong with any of it, just hasn’t been part of my experience. But just over a year ago, my daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. It was a bit of a shock - it does not run in the family - and we quickly had to learn all about counting carbs and dosing with insulin to keep her healthy and safe....
