Bariatric Foodie Play with your food

So I had my blog post all written and then I realized something. It was tuna. And last week was tuna. I don’t want you all to think Meatless Fridays is ALL about tuna. It’s just my go-to for quickie meals and lunches. So while I am going to post my original recipe which is what I’m having for lunch, …

St. Paddy’s Day is still a ways away, but I am in the mood to be Irish for a minute. Indulge me. This protein shake reminds me of the Bailey’s Irish Creme ice cream I used to eat when I was a kid. Interestingly enough, I have only had real Irish coffee (made by Irish people no less) once in …

So I’m not doing the meat thing on Fridays. Which means I gotta get protein without meat (scary). This idea came from Whole Foods. I was there one day and bought some mediterranean tuna salad ($4 for 4 oz.) and thought “I could make this myself for way cheaper.” It utilizes a bunch of stuff you probably already have in …

Well it’s Lent kids. For all non-Christians or non-spiritual people, Lent is the Christian season leading up to Easter. One Lent tradition is to sacrifice something for the 40 days of Lent to make you more mindful of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross. Every year I lament on what to give up. I don’t necessarily do this because I am …

But my tongue…my tongue is telling me YESSSSSS!!!! (get your minds outta the gutta! Well…for all you R. Kelly fans, your mind is there with good reason but still…this is a family friendly blog…) So Valentine’s Day. Not a big fan. Love should be celebrated every day in all its forms–not just romantic. So I get a little salty on …

Well…not really. The below recipe is a cross between a “happy accident” and “necessity is the mother of all invention.” Here’s what had happened: I live in Baltimore and it was decided (by God, Mother Nature, or whomever you personally hail to) that Baltimore should get a gabillionty seven inches of snow over the course of a week. Before the …

Interesting name for a post about pancakes, innit? You all have seen my Carbquik pancake recipe right? Well…I am always looking to improve my recipes and techniques. To that effect, I was browsing stuff online and came across some Carbalose flour. I’d seen it before but wasn’t quite sure I wanted to try to use it. I mean Carbquik already …

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! Do you have your New Year’s plans set? Did you find some sugar-free sparkling cider? Going full out with some champagne? Well I know it’s last minute but I just mixed up a nice batch of  protein sugar-free egg nog and OF COURSE I had to share the love with you all! Sugar-free Egg Nog 3 cups …

I have been promising my shrimp egg foo young recipe for forever right? The main reason I haven’t posted it is because…well, to be frank, this blog is very real in my life. If I make it I gotta eat it and my pouch has not been feeling eggs so much lately. So I apologize for the hold-up. I also …
