Turkey burgers please!!!

For lunch today, I was craving something light...like a shrimp, salad with quinoa or some thing along those lines as long as quinoa was on the menu, but hubby declared that shrimp quinoa salad wasn't a manly, fulfilling meal so I then i thought of quinoa turkey burgers! And I must add that it was brilliant..and easy! The quinoa I purchased is from trader joe's, frozen isle with sweet potato and zucchini already mixed in! Just pop the quinoa in the microwave for 6 in a half minutes and scoop onto your turkey burger!...Filling and delicious!...since turkey can taste a little plain be sure to add onions, mixed garlic, a teeny bit of worchestire sauce and seasonings such as mrs. dash fiesta lime, pepper and garlic. Enjoy!!!

Protein pancakes

I don't know about you, but I absolutely love food. I would say food definitely brings my family together. My husband hasn't been much of a fan of my "health food" since I changed my eating habits, but if you throw in the word protein and pancake in one sentence he's so down. So browsing through Trader Joe's the other day, I picked up some ("no preservatives") pancake/all purpose baking mix (picture below) and whipped up some yummy pancakes! The box has the directions on how to make the pancakes but I added two egg whites as opposed to an egg and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon you can even add some unsweetened organic apple sauce! And of course a scoop of your vanilla protein powder. Enjoy! P.s I drizzled mine with honey
