I have been a bit MIA lately on the blog, at least with a personal presence it seems. Maybe that's because I am doing a lot of scheduled posts. I am working hard on one of my goals and focusing my time on that. I am hoping soon it will pay off!! I can't really say much else right now, but will be able to soon enough and am hoping to deliver good news....
Tonight I whipped up a great Protein salad!
I LOVE kidney beans and don't eat them often enough. I threw together a steak salad and topped it with about a half a cup of these beautiful red beans!
They had a Vegetarian Diet (OR food ) Pyramid on the back of the can, which I thought was GREAT!! I love how activity is the basis of the pyramid! I am not Vegetarian, but eat that way sometimes and have dabbled with it...
Have you gone veggie?
My salad!
Spinach
Cheese
Avacado
Grilled steak
Rosemary balsamic
Kidney beans
and
Roasted yams!
Protein is SO good for us! It serves so many purposes!
- it carries oxygen
- helps fight disease
- heals connective tissue
- allows muscle contraction &
- plays a big part in recovery!
Learnin' tastes so good!
You should aim for 10-35% of your daily calories in protein and more if you are training or working out a lot! It is essential to our overall health.

YUMMY! Love kidney beans! I like garbanzo beans and black beans on my salads too.
BTW, I got the spice rack yesterday!! LOVE,LOVE,LOVE it!! Thank you so much for hosting such a wonderful giveaway!
Hi Mary,
Wow, that salad looks awesome:) I am going to have to make something like that someday soon! It has so many of the things that I like in it!! Yummy!!
Ooo yum! Looks great. I may give it a try over the long weekend, just substitute tuna or salmon for the steak.
Yup, went veggie for a little while and even raw vegan for a few months. Ultimately I believe in moderation so these days most of my food is plant based but I'm open to the occasional hamburger, etc. :-)
Thanks so much for the salad idea! YUM! Are you studying nutrition by chance (the picture of the book makes me ask). I'm hoping to get into a dietetic program soon so I can't wait to learn all about this fun stuff! :)
The salad sounds so yummy!
I am sorry, I haven't been able to keep up well with the Legs Do It Challenge. Now that I started swim team again, I am trying to figure out when to get my other runs/bikes in! Hopefully next week will be better!
oh that does look tasty! I am trying to get back on my very healthy eating plan this week, so thanks!!
