One thing that's important to me is to use easy, quick recipes for healthy meals - stuff that can be eaten on the run or as a quick snack - but high protein, low-carbs, and good fats. This recipe fits with my current experiment with doing Paleo about 85% of the time in my diet.
I got this recipe from Bodybuilding.com and made them yesterday - turned out good, nicely spiced. But I will likely make some changes.
Since I am using a gas oven, I might need to cook them a little less (maybe 35 minutes instead of 40), and I also want to try using a whole egg or two (free range, omega-3 fortified) to make them a little more moist.
