February 4, 2023 – Do you like protein bars?

I am looking for protein bar suggestions. Since breakfast is around 5:30 AM and lunch at work not happening until 1:00 PM or 1:30 PM, i sometimes get HANGRY at work. I need a pick me up snack between breakfast and lunch but I want it to be healthy. Cereal bars are too high in carbs.

Please list your favorite store bought bars as well as any recipes you love. You can put them in the comments or click on my contact info and send me a message.

Once I get a list I will start taste testing.

Thanks for reading.

January 17, 2023 – Successful food prep lunch

Yesterday’s food prep made me be able to easily pack this healthy lunch. Sautéed chicken breast (3 oz.), quinoa (1 cup), roasted cauliflower, broccoli, sweet potato and butternut squash (1 cup). I’ll be drizzling with 2 Tbsp of Bolthouse Farms Classic Ranch.

492 Calories, Fat 11.4 grams, Carbs 57.2 grams, Protein 38.5 grams

Roasted veggies, chicken breast and quinoa – It’s what’s for lunch.

Reheated in the microwave for two minutes. Delicious!

Do you have any good food prep recipes you would like to share? Please comment and share.

Thanks for reading!

To celebrate the end of 2022, Mike and I decided to have a treat day. First a healthy breakfast from First Watch and then a morning snack at Norman Love Chocolates.

Broasted chicken, cheesy mashed taters, sweet potatoes and creamed corn at Der Dutchman

Such a great day gallivanting around Sarasota. Home my 3 pm. Napped until the neighborhood sounded like armageddon (fireworks) and now going to relax, watch Ironman and get our healthy eating and exercise plan ready!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
