    I came home from the gym tired and hungry. Knowing that I needed some protein after a long run, I decided to throw some baked chicken breast, spinach, pickle slice, tomato slice, peperoncini rings, hummus, diced red onion, and green pepper ring into the blender. I used the same proportions that...

This morning I added the Silk cubes and about 4 ounces of liquid Silk vanilla soy milk into my Magic Bullet blender and pulse-blended until smooth. The result was a tasty frozen treat!

    Now that I have a blender..

    Forgive me if this is the incorrect section for this thread. Now that I have a blender I'm wondering what else I can do with it besides making fruit smoothies. It's a 7 speed, Hamilton Beach blender (Scovill?). I'm not sure I'll ever use all 7 settings, but I am sure I can do a lot more with...

    I'm already seeing results!

    Twenty years ago I weighed 275 pounds, today I weigh 137 pounds - that was an accomplishment in itself. On the second of this month I decided to begin weight training in order to bring some muscular definition to my now slim body and today, after only 15 days of working out alone, I am already...

    Creating variety: How do you spice up your oatmeal?

    I have been experimenting with oatmeal recently. I love oatmeal, it has been a breakfast item every morning in my home for the past decade. This morning I decided to try adding raisins and honey, which turned out to be a great idea. Yesterday I added apple chunks and cinnamon, which was also...
