I have one lil' girl who is 5 and another on the way (due in December). My hubby and I are pretty into fitness (weight lifting, rock climbing, etc). So as you will notice, I've got quite a few "protein" recipes. I love to bake. Cooking is okay but my real joy is baked goods (i.e., breads, pastas, cakes, cookies, etc). Not so conducive to the healthy lifestyle. But I like to say everything in moderation!!!
