Meatless Fridays: Thai Tuna Sliders

 I can’t tell you how many post-ops have looked me straight in the eye and told me it was impossible for them to have a good lunch at work. Now for some of you this is true. But many I spoke to worked in offices with all the necessary components to have a good lunch with just a little …

(Programming Note: If you like this, or any other BF recipe, an easy way to let me know – so I can keep more recipes like it coming – is by clicking one of the “reaction” boxes at the end of the post!) You ever clean out your refrigerator and find small blocks of random cheese (that’s still good) that …

Mexican Egg Casserole

 I just want to clear up one thing first. I have no idea if there is really such a thing as Mexican Egg Casserole. That’s just the best name I could come up with for what this is. It is not a quiche. Not even a crustless one. Quiche implies a lightness this thing does not possess. No…this boy …

Nik’s Salty Caramel Dessert

This is a true story of how one little sugar-free caramel pudding cup became a very big deal in my life. I’ll try to be brief. Basically, I was in Wal-Mart and I saw some sugar-free caramel pudding cups. Having never seen them before, I was excited. Brought them home, tasted then and…ennnhhh. They were o.k. But they needed some …

BF Top 5: Nik’s Favorite Protein Powders

I honestly cannot believe I’ve never done this Top 5 before. I went searching for it, for another post and…nothing. Nada. Zip. People ask me all the time what protein powders I use and like.

Fast Food Swap: Nik’s Fruity “Maple” Oatmeal

 Oh McDonald’s. Your food is so appealing to the eye…but yet so scary when you find out the facts about it! Have you ever read Fast Food Nation? If you absolutely love McDonald’s…don’t read that book. It will freak you out and you’ll never want to eat there again. (Now I’ve gone and made you curious, haven’t I?) At …

Triple Chocolate Protein Shake

So this protein shake was born a few years ago, around St. Patrick’s Day. And you might find this hard to believe…but I…am not Irish. Still I’m inspired by St. Patrick’s Day. National/Cultural pride is a great thing and it should be celebrated. Although, today’s shake isn’t really about that. It’s triple chocolate. And much as I am proud of my …

Chicken Tikka Masaala

Sometimes Nik likes to play with her food too! When I do, I most often do exotic dishes. I have a wanderer’s taste buds and I love food from nearly anywhere that makes food. This recipe comes from Food Network’s own Aarti Sequiera (who, by the way, started out as a food blogger). Since her recipe is so simple, I’m going to …
