I want dessert.... but i still want to look good -my hubby

What do you do when you have a sweet tooth, but are loving the progress on your body???? Make a protein packed apple-strawberry crisp! :) I made this for my husband tonight and he loved it!!! Plus its pretty dang easy and fast to make!

Here is what you need....

*Preheat oven to 350

FILLING
-3 peeled, cored and thinly sliced apples

-1/2 scoop lite vanilla protein

-1 tsp cinnamon

-1/2 Tbs splenda brown sugar

-1 cup sliced strawberries

-packet of truvia

TOPPING
-2 packs of kashi go lean honey & cinnamon oatmeal

-1/2 scoop of vanilla protein

-1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

-6 tsp of I CAN'T BELIEVE ITS NOT BUTTER

Here is what you do....
In a medium non-stick skillet on medium-low heat put in all the filling ingredients. Sweat out the apples and strawberries until they are tender. Put filling in to a (aaahhh I forgot size) glass baking dish.
In a small mixing bowl combine packets of oatmeal, vanilla protein powder, pumpkin spice. Pour over filling and then put 6 tsp of (faux) butter on the topping....
Bake for 10 minutes and enjoy!

Protein, dessert and deliciousness!

My body is my engine.... this is my fuel 2-11-2010

I went to a nutrition Seminar at Crossfit Marysville w/Todd Widman and he basically said if your body is an engine.... then think of it as the best engine in the entire world..... now lets think of our food as our fuel.... what kind of fuel are you putting into your engine.... high quality fuel that will help it perform better or crappy fuel that makes you slow, doesn't last as long and leaves behind mushy, sticky sludge???

Me? today my fuel is....
Breakfast: 1 cup of oatmeal, 1 TBS of organic peanut butter, 1 scoop lowfat and sugar free choco protein powder (notes: taste like a no-bake cookie... it is sooooo delicious!!!!)

Lunch: 5oz chicken breast grilled w/a lil taco seasoning, topped w/fresh salsa and 1 TBS avacado and put on 2 pieces of butter lettuce w/side of 1 cup steamed asparagus and a kiwi (notes: This was filling and tasted soooo good... I started eating it slow so it would last longer lol)

Snack: 2 hardboiled eggs w/egg yolks mixed w/avacado and 1 cup of steamed brocolli

Dinner: will be baked salmon topped w/pesto and tons of cups of steamed asparagus mmmmmmmm I can't wait!!!!
