Pulling Off an Easy, Delicious, and Healthy (Enough) Thanksgiving Dinner for 6...for only $100!

I love Thanksgiving. Back when I was about 15 years old, I decided to go all out and make a big, gourmet Thanksgiving dinner. At the time, I didn't have any experience cooking. It was a blast and a learning experience at the same time, and afterward cooking became one of my main hobbies for many years to come.

But now I'm a mom and a new business owner, and while I enjoy making delicious, nutritious meals for my family, cooking is no longer a top priority or even the way I prefer to spend my time. Our family arrives on Thanksgiving Day, and I don't want to be stuck in the kitchen upon their arrival; I want to enjoy their company and relax! We also happen to be on a budget at the moment. Going all out just doesn't make sense this year. At the same time, I want to serve an amazing meal to my loved ones.

Homemade Protein Bars

Hi y'all! Starting off my blog the best way I know how: FOOD. After all, the way to someone's heart is usually through their stomach, amiright?

This recipe has been in development for years, and it has evolved as my personal nutritionally strategies have. This version is, without a doubt, my favorite. These protein bars are hearty, nutrient-dense, and are a great cure for a baked-good craving (trust me).
