Bariatric Foodie Play with your food

I’m delving into a different kind of protein shake. One for the “grown and sexy” set. Ladies who take martinis in the morning and their lovers in the afternoon and all that jazz… So why the pic of Eartha Kitt? Well…if she was a post-RNY patient she is EXACTLY the kind of person who would drink this sophisticated shake. (That …

So I wasn’t going to post this recipe. Because I thought it would be kinda cruddy to post a WLS friendly dessert two days after Thanksgiving. But here’s the deal. This got a command encore. So here’s how the whole thing went down. I bring my sugar-free, high-fiber dessert to Thanksgiving dinner. I advertised it as sugar-free which, theoretically, meant …

Ok…so not the best word association. But “orange” ya glad I didn’t do that knock-knock joke? (chirp…chirp…) Ok…moving on… If you don’t like vegetables, quite frankly, I think you might be crazy. Ok, that’s mean. But seriously. Veggies have so much to offer in the way of flavor. And flavor is the one thing we THINK we lose in the …

The analytics from this blog show an ASTOUNDING increase in hits after the whoopie pie video. And they also show that people come to this blog looking for sweets. Ok, so I’ll post more sweets – all you hadda do was ask! But now I need to know what you like. Anything you’ve wanted since surgery that you have had …

So I keep hearing about these things called “whoopie pies.” Now some purists might say that this is a food that cannot be WLS friendly. BUT I SAY NAY!!! So I decided to try. But more than that…I decided to take you guys along with me for the ride…whether you wanna go or not! Now I know what you want …

I know what you’re thinking. “Where the HELL has she been????” Well, in the span of the last month me and my little divas have all battled the flu monster–and won! Yay! So now that we are on the mend I am going to get back to the business of numminess! Look for a vid this weekend (I hope by …

Any way you slice it, this dish doesn’t photograph well. So what are you gonna do? EAT IT!!! What is it? Oh, yeah well there is that. This…my friends, is chicken pot pie a la Nik. It takes every bit as yummy (dare I say yummier?) than that Banquet stuff but it’s nutritionally beneficial. FOR THE CARB POLICE: there is …

Ok…so here’s the thing about carbs. You can’t avoid them. Why? Because your body uses every nutrient you take in for some purpose. In our former lives maybe we didn’t move so much so our body used it to store as fat for a “rainy day.” Nowadays, maybe we move a little more and our bodies use it for quick …

Y’all damn near broke my camera! Seriously! I tried three times to do the newbie video and my camera when apeshit. So I have to take a short hiatus from the cooking show. I plan to put up a short PSA-style vid this week but the longer ones…well they probably should be shorter anyway but even so anything longer than …

I love salads. Do you love salads? Or did you pre-op. Some of you can’t yet tolerate raw veggies and for that I am sorry…but there is hope! Salad is one of my favorite things to eat because it is one of the only things I eat that looks like “normal people food.” Sorta. I can eat a full salad …
