Breakfast Food

Saturdays are cooking days in my house. That’s when most of the week’s blog posts (if I have any) get cooked. I also like to make a nice breakfast or brunch. Today I was in a bit of a bind though. The girls leave for Texas for the summer next week (they live with their dad during the summer) and …

It’s May! We made it! I’m reasonably sure that for most of us, there is no snow in the immediate forecast. I think that’s cause to celebrate. Tomorrow, as you know, is Cinco de Mayo. (Tell the truth: do you know what’s celebrated on this day? I’ll ‘fess up and say I was not terribly aware, so I looked it …

  You know what’s hard? Living in a house with non-ops who have no qualms about eating stuff that would kill me. Now granted, I love to bake so occasionally I’ll bake them a cake or make some biscuits for breakfast but it’s rare (a fact that is much complained about in my house…but when I say moderation, I mean …

This blog post title is something of a misnomer. I started wanting to remake a warm asparagus salad I had at Cheesecake Factory. Oh it was lovely! It was on their Skinnylicious Menu and had fresh asparagus, pine nuts, basil, Parmesan Cheese and a fried egg on top.  It was a bit heavy on the oil though so I knew …

Recap: In honor of the release of The Bariatric Foodie Breakfast Book we’re talking about breakfast this week! The next major section of the book is called “Smart Carbs.” Many folks are afraid of carbs, in general. With all the publicity about them, it’s no wonder. So before you get this book and freak out, I suggest you read my …

This is a close-up but this frittata fits on a SALAD sized plate! So in case you haven’t heard, my third book, The Bariatric Foodie Breakfast Book, was released today in hard copy on Amazon! (My e-book loving Foodies, hold tight! I just got what I hope is the final draft of the Kindle, Nook and iPad versions so I …

See the “HOW TO USE” section for details on what this is! Ok, so I’m really, really, really REALLY behind on stuff lately. For those who have followed this blog more than a year, this is a familiar song and dance. But I’m trying to get caught up because next week will be all about the release of The Bariatric …
