Topic: Cream Cheese Chocolate banana Pancakes!

Made this today, my 11 year old went nuts over them! They were REALLY good! 

Keep in mind this recipe is for one serving...but there is no way you could eat all that it makes! Makes 5-6 decent size pancakes. 

2 large eggs

2oz Cream cheese

1 tsp splenda

1/2 tsp Vanilla extract

2 scoops of your favorite protein (I used Chocolate Intramedic 30 grams protein) 

1/2 ripe banana (Over ripe works best) 

Wizz it all up in your ninja or blender 

pour in pan, wait 1 minute flip

Top with fresh fruit, yogurt or SF Syrup...ENJOY! They are GREAT!

Topic: RE: Types of condiments and sauces

Thanks for all the great suggestions. And keep them coming!! One problem I have is for some odd reason I am much more sensitive to "hot" "spicy" type foods now since surgery, even at time bbq sauce if it is more than a sweet type. But I like the idea's and will try them in case one or more agree with me :)

I have this one and it works great. Be careful of the blades when washing (true for all spirilizers)!!

Topic: Simple pork brine

On Saturday I will smoke 2 pork butts and 1/2 of a loin. I did a simple brine of about 3/4 of a gallon of apple juice, and handful of kosher salt, and bulb of vampire repellent smashed with my meat tenderizer and 2 smashed habaneros. I used a dedicated cooler just for brining purposes. On Saturday I will dry the meat and use my "mystery mix" rub. The mystery is because it is the leftovers of previous rubs that I've made that I store in a container until it is full. Once full I use it on some pork because it goes so well with many different spices.

Topic: Spicy Curried Lentils - So Good!

Of all the new recipes I have made over the last year, this is by far one of the very best.  The flavor is out of this world.  I substitute cauliflower rice for the basmati rice.

Topic: RE: Types of condiments and sauces

I'm one who typically does need something to dip drier meats (like chicken breast) in - that little bit of moisture greatly helps!

As Dub mentioned, plain greek yogurt (i use nonfat) is a great base for a dipping sauce. You can add whatever spices/herbs/other sauces you want to it. I've added plain hot sauce at times and at times mix in a little mustard (actually that is my go to chicken salad base - greek yogurt and mustard). But my current faves are a little greek seasoning or curry powder or some Penzey's Fox Point seasoning (gives a flavor reminiscent of ranch dressing). If you've never heard of Penzeys - check them out online, lots of great quality, reasonably priced spice blends. Mixing a little pesto in with the yogurt is another good option. as you can see - I play with yogurt a lot

Topic: RE: Lazy Chili

As the recent post describes, I've soaked my beans in many ways! I prefer the canned beans for easy prep and because of the texture.
