Sweet, moist lemon poppyseed muffins, made with Greek yogurt and topped with a tart lemon glaze. Enjoy for breakfast on the go, or a quick snack. I may have mentioned here before about how much I love the flavor of lemon. When it comes to desserts, it just may be my favorite flavor. Next to …

Packed with protein and chocolate peanut butter flavor, this skinny chocolate peanut butter protein shake will satisfy even the strongest chocolate cravings.  Since I stopped drinking sodas, and cut back on how much sugar I consume, I’ve had a really strong craving for chocolate.

I am the queen of thinking I have something in my pantry, when in reality I don’t.  Case in point…  Two weeks ago, I was making breaded chicken that was going to be served over fettuccine Alfredo.  I get everything almost cooked, go to my pantry for a jar of Alfredo sauce, only to realize …
