So I've been trying my hand at baking bread lately and I've been working on this recipe. I've been using a framework of other recipes to create my own and it's been a lot more fun than I expected. I must admit that I'm not a baker and this recipe is not perfect. I urge you to tweak it and mold it to work for you. Please share what works for you and what doesn't! Tweet me if you have questions!

*Guest Post!!!*  Hey guys! I’m Alysia a healthy living blogger over at Slim Sanity . At my site, you’ll find healthy recipes and snack ideas, along with some of the workouts that I complete day to day. Thanks to Bijoy, I get to share a great new dinner recipe with you all today! The dinners I make ordinarily revolve around a protein dish, paired with some kind of vegetable. Unless I’m planning on a long run the next day, veggies are the only carbs I serve. Not to say that grain carbohydrates are bad. In fact, they show up in my breakfast and lunches quite frequently. This is just a diet that I typically follow, because it works for me! Today’s recipe is for turkey cutlets, along with a side of seasoned steamed broccoli. It’s by far the best turkey cutlet recipe I’ve ever tasted. Ingredients: 4 turkey cutlets, tenderized 2 tablespoons horseradish     2 tablespoons spicy brown mustard 1 tablespoon brown sugar 1 cup black beans   ½ teaspoon garlic s...
