Protein-packed pancakes

A problem I had when I started eating supportively was I got bored very quickly with my 2 snacks per day.  Snacks containing protein were pretty cyclical.  Cottage cheese, chobani yogurt with some fruit, an apple and a string cheese, red pepper strips with hummus.  Those were pretty much my 4 staples.  I had no idea [...]

If you’re anything like me, you eat many of your 35 weekly meals at work (this is under the mindset of eating 5 times per day, 7 days per week).  Some days I get up early enough to feed myself breakfast before I go to work, but truth be told, those days are few and far between.  Realllllly few [...]

Like most people, I love Chinese food.  Also like most people, I have a really hard time going out (especially to the amazing, expansive buffets) and eating only supportively.  Given the fact that they drench, bread, pork fry, tempura, and duck sauce the heck out of everything, it’s really hard to go out and not cave to temptation.
I love, [...]

If I could eat one thing every day for the rest of my life, it would, hands-down, be hummus.  Hummus, in Arabic, means “chickpea,” and considering that’s the main ingredient, well, it makes sense.  Chickpeas are packed with protein and good fats, and they are just sooo darn good. 
One of the main reasons I love [...]

Yep, you read that right.  I had totally supportive Ice Cream Sundaes with my babies this past weekend.  Camron had a glowing parent-teacher conference, and, yeah I’m a parent and yep, I’m going to brag: he is reading at a level 17, VT Standard is 6.  Go Camron!
The Ice cream was actually 2 small containers of [...]

It’s official.  I’ve single-handedly given birth to the cutest kids on the face of the planet.

A friend and co-worker recently vacationed in Vegas.  She’s a Bootcamper like myself, and eats like me.  But, as we tend to do while on vacation, she enjoyed the sights, the sounds, the slots, and, well, the “culinary aspect” as well.  She e-mailed that she was feeling adventuresome with her grocery shopping, having purchased an avocado [...]

As I said in an earlier post, the day to roast foods is Sunday.  I have the day to myself, my babies are helping me cook, and it’s just a pleasant way to spend the afternoon.  This weekend, my “victim” was a pork roast that I had thawed. 
Let me start by saying, while this recipe [...]

What’s the first thing people say to you when they see you eating a salad?
“What are you, on a diet or something?!” 
Well, maybe, maybe not.  It happens to me a LOT.  I like salad because I happen to be a veg-a-holic, and my kids like salad because their mom likes salad.  And because we eat supportively (a protein [...]
