Cookie Dough Protein Balls

Super easy. Super good.


1 cup oats
1/2 c PB
1/3 c honey
1/2 c chocolate chips
1 scoop whey protein- I use vanilla
1 T vanilla

*** I usually triple the recipe.

  • Mix all ingredients and refrigerate a few hours.  If the dough seems dry or won't stick together when you roll it, I've added a dash of milk to the mix.
  • Roll into balls and put on pan. 
  • Freeze overnight and store in the freezer in a container or bag.

For Calorie Count
I add the total calories in the batch, and divide it by the number of balls, but they average about 70-100 calories per ball. Todays count is below:
1 1/2 Cup (24 tbsp) Peanut butter= 2400 calories
1 cup (16 tbsp) honey= 960 calories
3 cups oats = 900 calories
1 1/2 cup (24 tbsp) chocolate chips = 1920
3 scoops whey = 330 calories

 Total calories is 6510. Divided into 65 balls. Todays balls are 100 calories!

MN Wild Rice Burgers

After a recent trip to Duluth, where I had the BEST wild rice burger at Fitgers Brewhouse, I came home and decided to try my hand at it.    I googled and found this recipe that even MENTIONED Fitgers version, so I knew I had to start there!   I started off by cooking up a batch of wild rice.   I'd say it made about 3 cups cooked. While the wild rice was cooking, I sautéed up some minced garlic, diced celery and diced onions in a tablespoon of olive oil.  Until they were translucent.  As an after though I threw these in a food chopper because I knew chunks of these items in a burger would turn my kids off! Once that was done, I mixed my wild rice and sautéed veggie mix together.   Next I threw in 1/2 cup of breadcrumbs.  The recipe above called for Asiago cheese, I however could not find any and instead used shredded parmesan.   I seasoned the mix with sea salt, crushed black pepper, oregano, thyme, paprika and caye...

Taco Soup

 My blood, sweat and tears went into this one.  Its a toughy.  Okay; skip the sweat, the blood and tears just came from the butter knife I used to chop up the chicken.  WHO manages to slice open a finger with a BUTTER KNIFE?!  Oh, yeah, MOI! Other than that event; this may have been the easiest thing I've cooked in months.     The hardest part of this recipe was the fact that Fareway foods did not carry green enchilada sauce, and I had to decide what to do instead.   Here is the cast of characters: 1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed 1 (15 oz.) can pinto beans, drained and rinsed 1 (14.5 oz.) can petite diced tomatoes, drained 1 (15.25 oz.) can sweet corn, drained --Oh ha, you don't see this in my picture!??  Silly me; its certainly NOT because I hate corn.  Nope....must have just been missing.    1 (12.5 oz.) can white chicken breast, drained 1 (10.75 oz.) can cream of chicken soup 1 (10 oz.) c...
