Also, with some type of sugar free whipped topping. Very easy to crush in one sitting lol

I've also thrown in a scoop or two of vanilla protein powder to bump up the macros. Still tasted great.

Yeah, I thought I'd hit the wall eating one but after 16 hours I'm usually friggin starving and the amount is surprisingly easy to eat. Plus, it might be one of the easiest things to make.

I like to make stir-fry's for healthy meals. Basically would just use chicken, white meat pork, or shrimp, then add in whatever vegetables I had around. Would change it up with some teriyaki, soy sauce, or just some evoo.

This is pretty much what I do. I get different proteins, different vegetables, and different sauces from time to time but it's essentially the same preparation.

Anyone cook with a cast iron skillet? If you don't, take my advice...get one. I've had one for a few years and it's one my favorite items in the kitchen. I use it regularly for making "indoor" steaks, also great for broiling chicken.

Last night was a first, I used it to pan sear a wild caught salmon filet. I can't find the exact recipe right now, but it was simple and VERY good. I'm not a huge fan of salmon, but this turned out awesome.

Is the cast iron skillet the one where you don't wash it?

You just don't use soap. Wash with hot water, scrub with a wire brush, coat with oil once dry.

I need to get one of those. I just use the regular skilleto to sear steaks this time of year and they are excellent.

Can't beat cast iron cookware. I don't usually wash mine unless I cook fish in them, everything else I just wipe it out real well. If I do wash it, I'll coat it with oil, salt, and pepper and stick it in the oven to re-season it.

I love my cast iron skillet. Also, easy "healthy" way to cook chicken, is to put them in a crock pot, throw a jar of salsa and a packet of low sodium taco mix and cook on low. By the end you can shred it up and there is little to know liquid. We usually make burrito bowlesque items with them but could be used for anything.

We use cast iron skillets for about everything. Plus stainless steel pots. My wife can tell you all about the evils of cooking in aluminum…(also drinking out of aluminum cans….)

Also-the cast iron needs to be "broke-in" a little to get your best steaks.

What's the secret to not smoking up my house when using cast iron? I assume it's the oil?

For steaks some say getting it super hot is the way to go. I made that mistake my first time and smoked out my tiny ass apartment. I just heat on medium for searing.


And lol @ "the evils of aluminum"

Our house came with two cast iron skillets, and I can vouch that they are amazing.

As for healthy recipes...I have none of those. #sorry

If you're using vegetable oil it has a low smoke point. Try using an oil with a higher smoke point.

I've eaten a whole one of these as a postworkout meal after a 16+ hour fast. I use cream cheese instead of cottage cheese. As you can see, a whole one is just over 700 calories plus....

Just put this in the oven. I can't believe this whole thing is just over 700 calories. I am def housing this one down after a workout. Also, is that much splenda really needed?
