Bariatric Foodie Play with your food

I have a low-carb pancake recipe on the blog already but I actually switched to using this recipe. Why? Well low-carb is good. But high protein is better!!! This recipe is from “The Bariatric Foodie Breakfast Book” available in hardcopy and Kindle on Amazon. To make these pancakes first I have to tell you how to make low-carb baking mix. You can buy …

 So…while you guys are working hard on your Bariatric Foodie Pledge goals for week one, I thought I’d post this little tutorial since one of my recipes this week requires protein pudding. Many bariatric companies sell protein pudding mixes, which always makes me shake my head. It’s so easy (and way cheaper) to make it yourself! Let’s go over …

Every now and again I will get a blog post comment or a question on Facebook or Obesity Help about the nutritional stats of my recipes. And I always give the same answer: in general, I do not give nutritional stats for my recipes. (click that link to find out the many reasons why). BUT it always leaves me feeling …

 My New Year’s Resolution (if you can call it that) is cleaning up the blog a bit. There are posts where I promise to post a picture later that I never did or an additional recipe that I never did. If you see any of these posts please, please, PLEASE hit me up. I need to fix it! So …

Oh Foodies…how I can’t wait to move and have a more spacious kitchen so that extension cord is no longer in my food shots!!!  So…it’s almost two weeks into the new year. Let’s talk sensible sweets, shall we? I don’t know about you but there comes a time, especially after holidays filled with rich food and lots of treats, …

Four years ago today… It was not a Sunday. In fact, I think it was a Tuesday. At any rate, it was a day when I awakened, much like I did this morning, wondering what the events of the day would mean to me and how they’d affect my life. Except these days, I don’t have quite the same worries. …

 It really warms my heart when one of my Foodies plays with their food and sends me recipes and pics. I ask for it all the time! And sometimes my wishes come true!
