Bariatric Foodie Play with your food

This product review was sponsored by BariatricPal. All opinions are my own.  Aw yeah! BariatricPal has thrown its hat into the ring with its very own soft calcium chew! I’m so excited. Mostly because every other BariatricPal brand product I have tried so far has been legit. Still, I don’t want to put the cart before the horse, Foodies. We …

This product review was sponsored by NutriNoodle. All opinions are my own. So this Nutri-Noodle review starts out, as so many of my posts do, with a caveat. This is a review in progress!

Plus, cauliflower seems to be having a heydey in the world of low-carb eating. With the rise of the ketogenic (keto) diet and its emphasis on fat and protein over carbohydrates, the cauliflower fits into the perfect …

Fun fact about me. I think a LOT. Especially when it comes to the journey to better health. I think about what made me get obesity in the first place, what events in my life formed my attitudes around food and eating, what I think about my body, why sometimes it’s very easy to control what I eat while at …

It’s about time for me to admit it. I like food with unique names. Shakshuka. Like…when you say that to someone not in the know, their first reaction is, “Whaaaaaa?” And I LOVE THAT! Also, I love trying foods from different cultures. I always learn something about food and myself by doing so. That, Foodies, is a big part of the …

First, a bit of terminology clarification. For me, “weeknight” in a recipe title has a really specific meaning. Because I’m not the kind of person who actually likes to cook on weeknights. However, I’m not always that person who likes to prep food on the weekends either. So weeknight meals are actually a thing in my household. To me a perfect weeknight …

And I imagine that somehow, some way, they have gotten you to this page because you need to hear what I’m about to say. First and foremost, I want to …
