Breakfast Food

~by Nikki So my kitchen this week has become “Holiday Preview Command Central.” If you are coming and haven’t gotten your tickets yet, here is a good reason to get them TODAY. Unbeknownst to Jen, I left the $25 pricing up on the PayPal button. Now that I’ve outed myself I have to fix it, but am willing to take …

~by Nikki We’ve been talking about breakfast a lot lately, haven’t we? I guess we go through cycles, just like any other food blog. Rest assured we have plenty of stuff for the other four meals of the day coming up (and Jen has already led the charge with a great snack recipe and me just yesterday with my “magical food”!). …

~~posted by Jen Who hasn’t drooled over those IHOP commercials for stuffed French Toast? And if you say you haven’t, then you’re probably lying! Those commercials are too much for me, so I had to make up a protein version we could enjoy post-WLS. It’s way easier than you might think, and looks really pretty on a plate. A very …

Here at Bariatric Foodie, we’re trying to find a good balance between recipes geared toward newer post-ops and ones for us “veterans.” This one, I would say…is more for the vets (but newbies…this is the kind of stuff you have to look forward to!). This is also good for people trying to wean their family off of fast food breakfasts! …

~~posted by Jen Remember I told y’all I made a scrumptious breakfast concoction the other morning? Well I finally got it typed up for your enjoyment! The more ways I try this P-28 Protein Bread, the better I like it. After I posted my review of it the other day, I was inspired to make some French Toast. OK, let’s …

~by Nikki Currently there seems to be a shortage of canned pumpkin due to the summer heat and its affects on the pumpkin crops. We’ve heard from fellow Pouchers that when they do find canned pumpkin, it is more expensive this year than in the past (if you’ve found a good deal, please post in the comments so others can …

~~posted by Jen I spent today with my boys Zeus and Mickey and with my ex father-in-law for his 81st birthday. We had a nice visit and I got home much later than I had originally planned. That made me REALLY glad I had some of this awesome Spinach and Bacon pie in the fridge to heat up for a …

~~posted by Jen Lots of times I steam fresh or frozen veggies for a side dish, and inevitably when I clean out the fridge, there is always a sad little container of leftover vegetables.  Today was my weekly fridge cleaning day, and I found just such a container of mixed vegetables (peas, corn, carrots, & green beans), maybe a cup …

Raise your hand if you ever crave chocolate. Anybody? Anybody at all? (chirp…chirp…) KIDDING! Any chocolate lover occasionally gets a craving for something chocolatey and when you do, really, what do you reach for? A candy bar? A fudgesicle? Me…I’m not a cold treat kinda gal most of the time and I dump so if I even THINK about candy …

Ah…Lent…it brings out the vegetarian in me for sure! I notice, though, that lately I’ve not eaten a lot of meat on any day of the week. Dairy? Yes. Meat? Not so much.
