Dinner

Ok, so let’s talk about condolence food. You know what I’m talking about. Someone passes away and family, friends, people you hardly even know start bringing you food. Yummy food. Comforting food. Carby food. For my part, I have sort of been picking at the condolence food, much to the chagrin of La Petite Diva who has appointed herself my …

You all might remember that this year I vowed that my Meatless Fridays this year would NOT be another litany of the “Three T’s”: Tuna, Tilapia and TVP. I’ve been branching out! Like most of my food, this dish has a funny story to it. Last Friday I pick the divas up from aftercare. As per usual, they were hungry. …

You ever had an aversion to trying something but you can’t really verbalize why?  That’s how I feel about cauliflower crust pizza. I have not tried it because…I don’t want to try it. I don’t have any better reason. Don’t get me wrong. Search the term on Pinterest and you’ll see wonderfully yummy pictures of it and I am sure …

 So my daughter comes to me one day and says, “Mom, I want to be a vegetarian.” At 10 years old it has always been a challenge getting the child to eat meat. As it stood, she only ate meat that, by appearance, made no reference to its animal roots. So…chicken nuggets, yes. Chicken legs, no. And beef was …

Better pic forthcoming…I promise! I made it yesterday for tonights dinner which…hasn’t happened yet.  I’ve found, in my experience, that people either love mushrooms or they hate them. Every once in a while I’ll run into the rare person who says, “Enhhh, I can take them or leave them,” but again…that’s pretty rare. Me? Definitely on Team Mushroom! I …

 Yesterday I posted the above picture on the Bariatric Foodie Facebook wall, calling for folks to guess what was in it. This will be my lunch throughout this short work week, so I thought it’d be fun to give folks a peek into some of the stuff I like to make that hasn’t yet made it to the blog. …

 My New Year’s Resolution (if you can call it that) is cleaning up the blog a bit. There are posts where I promise to post a picture later that I never did or an additional recipe that I never did. If you see any of these posts please, please, PLEASE hit me up. I need to fix it! So …

For all my U.S. readers, Turkey Day come-eth!!! This day can be a bit nerve-wracking. After all, it’s a whole day dedicated to eating! And as much as they tell us the holiday is about thankfulness, for many of us it just doesn’t play out that way. Because let’s be real: in many families it’s about the two f’s – …

 This soup is good. No…this soup is DAMN good. OMG. I have to get myself together just to give you the recipe. So…potato soup. Oddly enough, I wasn’t a big fan pre-op. I loved a nice, loaded baked potato but soup didn’t really do much for me. But I love this soup. I was inspired to make it by …

(Yesterday on Bariatric Foodie….) You made a spaghetti squash. Possibly your first. Congrats! Now let’s translate it into a yummy meal. I love spaghetti squash because it makes a great family type meal. The divas know (intellectually) that it is not pasta, but seriously? Anything covered in sauce is going to be good. The trick is to make it a …
