    Optimum Nutrition makes good protein powder and they have the best flavors IMO.

    ^Agreed. Particularly double rich chocolate or the mocha cappuccino

    As far as the pasta goes, I usually get Dreamfield's. It has a high fiber content so the net carbs are a little less than regular. You can find some of the types (spaghetti, rotini, etc) at Walmart. I'm also a big fan of spaghetti squash =)

    I make my own pasta (when I am not being a lazy working woman LOL) and I have found using half wholemeal flour and half white flour, eggs, and a drizzle of olive oil works best. It seems to give a good texture that holds up well.

    Extreme Milk chocolate is great!

    I use Optimum Nutrition also. One reason being is Consumer Reports did a story on protein powders and their safety. They found that ON protein powders were the safest; few heavy metals, bad stuff, etc. Just Google "optimum nutrition consumer reports" They are the only ones around here too that are available just about everywhere.
