Protein Balls Delicious-ness

I have been making these for a while now and I LOVE them!! They are perfect for before a work-out, after a workout or a sweet treat. They are easy to make and only require 7 ingredients.

In a bowl combine dry ingredients first

1 C Oats
4 TBS Flax Seed meal (just buy flax seeds and blend them in your mixer)
3 Scoops Protein Powder, (I prefer vanilla, but have also used chocolate and cinnamon)

Then Add:
1 1/4- 1 1/2 C Natural Peanut Butter
1/4 C Honey
1/4 C Coconut Oil, melted

Mix well, then add in
Dark Chocolate Chips, or PB chips if you prefer

These will be sticky. Roll them into bite size balls. I prefer to stick them on a plate so they don't mush together, and stick in the fridge. Once they're formed stick them in an air tight container and store up to 3 weeks in the fridge. This recipe makes a big batch, but mine have never lasted that long.

Easy Delish Fish

Easy, Delicious, and under 200 calories!!! What's not to love?

Here's what you need:

Tilapia fillets- I buy Kroger frozen tilapia fillets from Smiths
Tomato
Feta- I buy Athenos tomato basil chunk feta, Smith's or Walmart
Salt, Pepper, Basil

Preheat oven to 375.
Place a sheet of aluminum foil in the bottom of a baking dish and coat with non-stick cooking spray.
Place frozen tilapia in baking dish, season with salt and pepper.
Top each fillet with a slice of tomato then crumble feta liberally over the top.
Sprinkle with a little basil if you like (I do).
Bake 14 minutes or until fish flakes easily.

Tip: Jim doesn't like tomato but this recipe is so versatile that even the novice chef can easily adapt it to please the most stubborn of picky eaters!!!

Love the Name!

Amy, I love the name!! It made me laugh!

So here's the recipe for the Cafe Rio pork, that I've kinda made up through trial and error! I just had heard that they use Coke, so I started from there. Feel free to add what you want, but this is what I do:
Put the boneless pork in the crock pot the night before, and just cook it on low all night. (you could also do this in the morning) Don't add anything at this point.
When it's cooked all the way through, I drain all of the juices and cut off all of the fat. (sometimes there are big chunks)
Then I add about a cup of Coke or a cup and 1/2, a small can of green chilies, a cup or so of Brown sugar, some salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Just add what you want until you like the taste.
The meat should easily shred at this point. Mix everything in and let simmer. You can eat it right away, or let it simmer on low for a few hours.

Good luck!

Its here

Hopefully you're as excited as I am, sorry it took me forever, Christmas & sickness got in the way.
Feel free to add a background and splashes of glitter where you see fit.
Happy recipe-ing!!!
