Protein Bar Recipe
FoodSo I have been looking around for a Protein bar recipe to make from home because store bought can be expensive, and have tons of ingredients that make it really expensive.
Here is the recipe.
Conrad's Almost Pretty Good Protein Bars
8 TBS Natural Peanut Butter, slightly melted
3 Egg Whites
1 Whole Egg
2 Scoops Protein (I use a low sugar Vanilla flavor)
2 TBS Ground Flax Seed
1/2 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
2/3 Cup Low Fat Soy Milk (I use Vanilla flavor again)
1/4 tsp Baking Soda
2 Cups Rolled Oats
1 Cup Whole Almonds
2/3 Cup Dried Cranberries
Mix all ingredients and squish into a 13x9 baking dish. Bake at 350 for 20 - 25 minutes. Allow to cool and cut into 8 bars.
Makes 8 bars.
Each bar will have about 350 calories, 20 grams of protein, and costs about 50 cents each, depending on specific ingredients used.
This creates a slightly breadlike bar, but the oats do not make it overly chewy. While the cranberries add sugar, the taste they add is hard to beat.
Let me know if you have any suggestions on how to further improve this.

The Best Queso Recipe
FoodI was looking for a recipe for queso but was totally unimpressed with the usual Velveta/chili combo so I looked at quite a few recipes and found one that is absolutly excellent.
1/2 pound ground beef
1T flour
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp Mexican oregano
salt
pepper
Mix together, hands work the best for this, then heat over medium heat to brown. The flour should allow the meat to break up well. Mix in with:
1 block cream cheese
2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack cheese
1 can enchilada sauce
Melt in microwave stopping every minute to mix. Be careful of becoming addicted to this.
Any mild melting cheese will work but Monterrey Jack is the easiest to find. Cheddar does not work well because it will not melt right. This should be smooth and delicious.
