Pretzel Crusted Chicken Strips {with Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce}.
I’ve written before on the magnificent power of a chicken strip. For that matter a chicken finger, nugget, or any form of tender juicy crusted chicken bites. They are universally loved by carnivores, especially at gatherings that often involve televised sports aka Game Day! Continue reading »

Most days, whether at home or the office I’ll have an Egg White Omelet Bowl for breakfast. A bed of spinach (getting my calcium anywhere I can), a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh herbs and scallions, and an egg white omelet packed with herbs.

This Inside Out Fresh Herb Omelet was my Healthy Choice post-workout meal.
Four weeks ago today I arrived at the office with workout clothes in hand (after taking 4 months off). I was committed to getting back into an exercise routine and knew I would need the encouragement of teammates to keep me on track. So when the lunchtime walking crew lined up to head out, I followed right along. Well actually I lagged behind a good bit, but I did it. A 2.61 mile power walk in 40 minutes. Continue reading »
