These burgers are spiced to perfection. To make them even spicier, you could melt jalapeno soy cheese on each patty and serve topped with salsa.

You must have a yogurt maker to use this particular recipe, but it is worth the investment...homemade tastes so much better than store bought!!!

Tasty side-dish good with most anything. It is full of protein and vegetables - what could be better?

I love okra fry bread, but my body didn't appreciate all the oil used to prepare it! So I came up with this healthier alternative... I like having these as a side with soup.

More than just plain cheese, this pizza will wake up your taste buds.

This is a delicious way to start the day. It's packed with good health, great nutrition and warms you to the core! I use a very clean whey protein, but you can use whatever works for you.

There are many variations on this recipe, but this is a tried and true favorite of mine. Combining the oat bran and oatmeal makes for a wonderful textured porridge. The egg whites make it very creamy, pump up the protein, and don't affect the flavor...just makes it creamy.

Cook's note: I use old-fashioned oats...the instant and packets have too much sugar. I am sure you could use whatever you like - this is a personal choice for me. Also, I make in the microwave, but you can certainly prepare this on the stove or a campfire if you choose.
