This post is a result of a request from my son and his friend. “Mom!, you need to add more Bulking Up recipes to your blog! Your recipes are great, but we need high protein and high calorie meals!” I guess the lemon bars sitting on the counter weren’t what they had in mind by high calorie.
LOL!
Feeding a teenage boy has been a challenge to say the least. Now that he has entered college and has certain goals he is determined to meet, the challenge is even more difficult.
Okay guys. I have added a new category and this round up of delicious recipes was put together with some help of some wonderful Food Bloggers. In this series we have protein, carbs, breakfast, dinner and even dessert. This first post is all about protein. Recipes for all your Bulking Up needs. Thank you all for your contributions!
