All opinions are mine alone. #PowerfulProtein #CollectiveBias After coming off vacation where we ate a lot, then coming home and having cookouts with the family and having a neighborhood cookout for the Fourth of July, we had to slow down. This week we’re going to eat light, that means no big meals nor take out, so we headed to Walmart to find some food that we can put together or throw in the microwave. The day after the 4th of July, Walmart was pretty packed and people were still buying fireworks, so we picked up some also.…

This past Saturday night we wanted…
