I have always loved making stovetop popcorn but I must admit it wasn’t until recently that I started experimenting with flavours other than butter and salt. Better late than never!

I ran for the bus every single day that I worked in a corporate office. I’d shuffle down the block in my heels, my hot coffee sloshing onto the pavement, and my mouth full of a grab-and-go breakfast (like these Strawberry Oatmeal Bars), silently praying that the bus was behind schedule. This was my Monday through Friday for four straight years. You would think that after one year of stressed-out suit sprinting that I would have learned to leave the house earlier, let alone after four years, but it never happened....

In fact, I served it to our neighbors and casually didn’t mention that this recipe uses thinly sliced zucchini squash in place of the lasagna pasta noodles. No one knew.

Muffins make a delicious breakfast treat, but they don’t do you much good if they have no substance, and you’ll end up hungry again just a couple of hours after eating them. High protein muffins, though, are the solution to that problem.
