Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Protein Cookies
With the popularity of protein bars and the new protein “cookie” on the rise, I figured I’d try my hand at baking my own protein cookies. These little cookies pack a powerful nutritional punch! One of the main ingredients, coconut flour, is gluten-free, and high in fiber and iron. I also included oats because they are also a great source of fiber and iron! Replace the eggs with your favorite egg-replacer and they can also be vegan. I added date paste to sweeten them without adding sugar. And of course, they wouldn’t be cookies without chocolate chips. Here I used Chatfield’s 70% cacao double dark semi-sweet chocolate chips (nut, dairy and…

Happy National Nutrition Month! This year’s theme for National Nutrition Month is Put Your Best Fork Forward! Making small, healthy changes really does add up! For example, today I was craving my favorite salted caramel chocolate chip cookies. I was walking through the bakery aisle at the grocery store where they are sold and I was tempted to buy them.

Whole Wheat Veggie Farfalle
March is National Nutrition Month! And before the month is completely over, I decided to get my butt in gear and post about it, since I am going into the nutrition field after all. 🙂 One of my goals is to increase my vegetable consumption since I know I could do much better in that department. So last night I made a large batch of this tasty, vegetable heavy pasta dish. Honestly, I just threw a bunch of things together and hoped it was going to work out.

Making My Own Veggie Burgers
A few weeks ago I went to a free cooking demo at the brand new Honest Weight Food Co-op in Albany. It is a gorgeous new store that just opened, with a big kitchen space for cooking classes! I saw they were holding a free veggie burger cooking class and jumped on the opportunity to check it out. We learned the basics of veggie burger making. Buying store bought veggie burgers are convenient, but a lot of the times they contain many many ingredients and are sometimes very processed. They can get expensive, too. Lately I have been making my own and they taste great and are a lot cheaper.…
