I love to make simple, healthy fast foods that fuel my body for a long time. I do get questions all the time about this. So, let’s talk about it.

Let’s say you are home and you know you have a big day tomorrow and your going to spend hours in business meetings and or on the road. Ok?  What, do you opt for fast food or a restaurant that has treated your food with unneeded sugars and fat ? Well, you may have opted for them before but not anymore. I will give you a recipe everyday for the next week that you can make once at home and then pack in your lunch for the next day. I’ll also give you a few recipes to make your own snack bars to keep you full and energized.

Let’s, talk about this photo below….Yes, the one with a bite out of it because my husband couldn’t wait.. LOL!
