I've decided to make my own homemade protein powder after I tried many different protein powders, and kept running into the same issues: most are full of synthetic sweeteners, preservatives, and other artificial additives. Even after diluting them with water, they were still too sweet for me. Ultimately, I knew I wanted a protein powder with clean ingredients. At roughly $1.12 per serving, it's priced similarly to many mid-range protein powders on the market—but with far better ingredients and no unnecessary additions.

Spicy Green Tomato Salsa
This refreshing green tomato salsa with cilantro and lime juice gets some heat from spicy peppers. It tastes great served over cream cheese with tortilla chips for a game-time snack. It's a great way to save those green tomatoes when there is an early frost. I created this recipe with the assistance of my daughter-in-law Carolyn and her niece Felicia. Thanks to both of you!
Dog Food Dip
This "dog food" dip recipe was given to me by a co-worker some 15 or more years ago. She made it for potlucks at work, and it was always gone from the nurse's station before the rest of the food was put out! It's a simple mixture of beef, cheese, and jalapeños but it should always be made a day in advance to allow the flavors to blend. Serve with your favorite corn chips.
Cranberry Sauce with Bourbon
This is my mother's recipe for cranberry sauce with bourbon. Each year, she would make it for an auction. Her sauce usually sold for $12.00 per 8-ounce jar! Tangy cranberries sweetened with sugar are baked in the oven with bourbon to kick things up a notch. Tastes best when it has had time to sit, for example, 2 weeks. The longer it sits, the stronger the flavors. A delicious addition to your holiday plate!
