Desserts

~by Nikki I asked. You voted! And I am going to pass off my sugar free coconut macaroons to my non-op family and friends! But I think you guys let me off a bit easy. Because I didn’t really have to write up a post since we already have these cookies on the blog. So…to assuage my deep sense of …

  It’s that time again, kids! Time to be merry and cheery and all that wonderful jazz!   I must admit I LOVE Christmas. My family has more traditions than you can shake a stick at but we mostly just love being together.   Part of my holidays of yesteryear was a cup of rich, delicious eggnog. But nowadays, unless …

My little army of ice cream toppers…stuff easily found in most post-op pantries! I know it’s winter and our bodies are cold so, theoretically, we should be celebrating hot desserts but something about ice cream transcends seasons to me. Besides…protein ice cream is a way to get your required protein in and carve out a little indulgence for yourself. Have you …

~~posted by Jen It’s been a VERY cold week here in New Jersey, last night it was uh 19 degrees. Not exactly the time for an icy beverage! That’s why for this week’s mocktail I made over a winter-time favorite. Every year during the holidays, I always make a big pot of mulled cider and let it simmer on the …

 Leftovers Week!!! Woo-HOO! What…you’re not excited? I understand. Normally, leftovers don’t excite me either, but wait until you see everything Jen and I have in store. So far, Jen has shared her delicious “Gobble it Down” Thanksgiving pizza. Have you tried it yet? If not, give it a whirl! My first offering from leftover week comes with a shout-out. …

Happy Thanksgiving!! I know if you’re anything like me this is probably a quick check in before the frenzy starts. If you’re heading to a relative or friend’s house for the big feast and still need a dish to bring, this one is a winner. It’s super easy, delicious, and always a crowd pleaser. In case you missed my post …

~by Nikki A few days ago, my gorgeous friend Denise (waitinggame on OH) sent me this recipe for her Protein Caramel Macchiato. Here’s the funny thing…she thinks that I invented it! Bless her heart… I WISH I could take credit for this but I cannot. It was actually Jen’s creation (which I did not know until just recently when Jen pointed …

(Warning: this is a long post. Go get a cup of coffee or tea and come back…I’ll wait…) Cheesecake. It is a wonderful thing and I don’t think anybody…not one single person…should be deprived of it. But cheesecake is kind of hard to work into our daily plans, isn’t it? It’s richness makes it filling but, in and of itself, …

  I had no idea when I developed this shake recipe that people loved Butterfinger so much. But you guys really, really do. Whenever I ask what shake folks like best from theBariatric Foodie Guide to Perfect Protein Shakes, folks always say, “The Butterfinger!” My guess is that candy is something we miss post-op. I don’t know about you but …

~~posted by Jen Butterscotch always reminds me of my Granny Sarah, they were her favorite. Dessert week continues! Yesterday Nik shared her scrumptious “Apple Brown Nikki”, the perfect WLS-friendly answer to apple pie or cobbler. Did you try the hot apple pie protein drink? No? Well make sure you do, it is NOMINOUS! Whilst sipping my Clicktastic Salted Caramel Cocoa, …
