Favorite Protein Powder Recipes?
Lets get some protein powder recipes going! I personally LOVE a scoop of protein powder (vanilla) in with some Great Value (walmart brand) banana cream pie lite yogurt. I mix it in then freeze it until halfway frozen (maybe 20 min?) it is DELICIOUS and awesome after a hard workout! Try it.. its SO good.

All these cheating threads...
Could anyone ever under any circumstances understand the concept behind cheating? Im talking on a spouse, gf/bf, not with food.

Ryans steak house/buffet
My kids wanted to go here today and so I obliged. I REALLY didn't wanna go only because I am not a huge fan of the food there plus there are limited options for someone on a diet.
