This is a bar recipe a friend of mine gave me. The original recipe was for a protein bar, but I didn't have any protein powder at the time, so I left it out. If you want to make it a protein bar simply add 2 cups of protein powder and add an extra 1/2 cup of honey. This bar makes a great snack for before or after a workout!

It's very easy to add in other yummy ingredients...some things I've tried are: sunflower seeds, dried cranberries, ground flax, raisins, sesame seeds, dark chocolate chips, wheat germ, nonfat powdered milk & unsweetened dried coconut. The possibilities are endless! This is such a great alternative to those pricey protein bars you can buy from the store & this way you know exactly what's in them! Just play with the recipe and have fun!

This is a spin-off of the Chili's Southwestern Egg rolls. Instead of deep-frying the filling, you put it in a tortilla and make a quesadilla.

This recipe makes 12 servings and keeps in the refrigerator up to 5 days. It's quite versatile--add shredded chicken and serve tortillas on the side to make it a main-dish salad. Or serve it as a dip with baked tortilla chips, a side for burgers or grilled chicken, or a salad on a bed of lettuce.

Watch out for the jalapeño pepper!

Creamy pudding makes fantastic frozen treats.

Removing the chicken fat and skin and adding no salt to the tasty sauce makes this chicken favorite heart-healthy.

Good as a light lunch or add beef to make a hearty stew.

A perfect and spicy way to use up leftover chicken breasts.

I borrowed this recipe from RecipeZaar (#184155). It is suppose to taste like Ruby Tuesday's Chicken Chili. I am making it for the Superbowl so we will see!

Spicy black means, great for nachos, burritos, or just on rice!

This is my take on Racheal Ray's Spanikopita Burgers. I usually double the recipe so I have extras for lunch the next day. I love these things.

Quinoa is similar to brown rice, with a higher protein content. This is a delicious side dish or light meal.

This is a great "healthier" version of lasagna you can do in the crockpot!

The recipe from clean eating called out generic vegetable broth. I used the one in this recipe. The difference makes this even better!
I also did not add any additional salt/pepper. The CE recipe called for 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice. I did not add to mine.

This tortilla soup tastes better than anything you can get at a restaurant. And it's healthy too! Don't let the long list of ingredients fool you. All you do is dump everything into the slow cooker and walk away.
