Nik, party it up, girl! We love you!! Left to Right: Nessa, Nik, and Andrea. The guy in front is some random wedding guest …

~~posted by Jen (This recipe is a FREE preview recipe from the Bariatric Foodie Holiday Survival Guide available for instant download from the “Shop BF!” page.) Lots of people serve whole kernel corn, or creamed corn, (um in some Southern families, BOTH) at holiday meals. It’s not unusual to have some left over and wonder what in the world you’re gonna do …

~~posted by Jen It’s still Leftovers Week, but we’re also fitting in some Reader Requests this week along with our delectable remixes on Thanksgiving leftovers. As y’all know, we try to respond to your requests for help on things within a reasonable amount of time, and some requests require a bit more experimenting than others. This one is pretty simple, …

~by Nikki  Ok, so by now you shouldn’t have too many “leftover” leftovers…as in, stuff you cooked on Thanksgiving. We hope you’ve checked out our recipes so far, made some or have just frozen your stash for late in the winter when you are too weary from shoveling snow to cook.

LOL This recipe actually is not mine originally, my late ex-mother-in-law Catherine made these every year at the holidays for Ken and Pop, and it’s a Stockinger family favorite.

For those who attended the Holiday Preview or who ordered …

~~posted by Jen Nik and I always like to say “ask us anything!” and we’ll figure out a way to make a food you love more WLS-friendly. This is no exception!

~by Nikki  Leftovers week continues, if you’ve missed our other offerings, you can find everything we’ve posted thus far here. For my family dinner, I was charged with the duty of bringing pies.

~~posted by Jen Veggie pieces hit the stock pot Leftovers week continues, so today I’m sharing an easy way to make stock. This is a terrific use for all those leftover vegetable stems and pieces, plus it utilizes the bones from your turkey, chicken, or beef.
