Bariatric Foodie Play with your food

Here’s another idea to throw onto the heap. I love cooking with ramekins. It’s so fun! You can make a perfect portion (by purchasing the ramekin size that suits you), it’s easy to ditch starches (like pie crust in this instance) and they are just darn cute, don’t you agree? I love Shepherd’s Pie. And I even love it without …

These are my “most frequently used” flavors. There are more in my kitchen though! There are three questions I get asked pretty often about sugar-free syrups: What do you use them for? What’s the difference between Torani, Davinci, and other syrups? If I’m gonna try Torani syrups, what flavor should I try first? Call me ambitious…but I’m going to try …

BiPro USA is one of this week’s Bariatric Foodie Pledge sponsors. So this week I wanted to highlight a few ways I use their whey.

This review was written by Shannon Anderson, Bariatric Foodie’s indefatigueable social media manager. Except she wasn’t the social media manager back then. Nope! She was a Foodie who kindly reviewed this dish set from a then “brand-new-to-us” company called Livliga! From here on out, I’ll let Shannon speak. Hello Everyone, Shannon here! Last fall, Nikki asked me if I would …

Sheila and her husband, and Livliga co-owner, Walter, at the Obesity Action Coalition “Your Weight Matters” Convention. This review was written in 2015. Please keep that in mind when clicking links! I met the folks at Livliga at the Obesity Action Coalition’s “Your Weight Matters” Convention in Orlando last year and fell in love with their portion control dishes. I’ve …

Celebrate Vitamins is a sponsor of the 2019 Bariatric Foodie Pledge! In celebration of the Pledge, they are offering a special discount! Take 15% off your purchase with code Pledge19 through March 2! See if you can identify with this sentiment. You’re newly post-op and you have a LOT of requirements. You have to get so many calories and so much water …

Photo Courtesy of ObesityHelp.com So this week is shaping up to be a “newbie sponsor” week for the Bariatric Foodie Pledge. Yesterday I introduced you to one of our sponsors, BariMelts (the vitamins that melt in your mouth, not in your pouch/sleeve/…whatever). Today we’ll learn about our other sponsor this week, Squeaky Cheeks. I met Rock Toone, owner of Squeaky …

  (UPDATE: This post was written in 2014. Sadly (for us), Hunky Tim got a promotion and doesn’t work directly with Bariatric Foodie anymore. But we can remember his tenure and smile. Moving on…) This is Tim. Tim the Barimelts guy.  And he wants you to know something. No matter how many times I inappropriately harass him make reference to …

CLICK-cocoa, anyone? This week’s Bariatric Foodie Pledge participants are working hard on their goals for the chance to win a special prize pack, courtesy of CLICK Espresso Protein. So I thought this week was a good week to reflect on my  relationship with CLICK. It’s not complicated: I LOVE the stuff! Here’s why. In the Beginning… Cinnamon- Caramel CLICK Frapp! …
