Omigosh. Guys. No, seriously. GUYS. Do you know how long I’ve been looking for a fast and easy way to make protein hot tea? (No, you probably don’t. Because you have lives.) Nearly nine years, folks. That’s nearly a decade of longing and hoping and wishing that making something as simple as a cup of tea infused with protein wasn’t so…involved. …

We’re now in what I like to call “the thick of summer.” The first day of summer has passed. The 4th of July has passed. Now it’s time to settle into summer until Labor Day gets here. I actually like the thick of summer. Holidays sometimes stress me out. You either have to host something or contribute a dish to …

This post is sponsored by Premier Protein. It is my theory that the 4th of July is a blueberry’s favorite holiday. Why? Because on that day the red/white/blue color combo is just everything — and, really, what other food can you use to play that up? I personally love blueberries, not only for their antioxidant qualities, but because they are a …

They call this weekend the “unofficial” start of summer. Damn that. I’m calling it. It’s summer! I mean after the winter we had? We deserve it. (Unless of course you don’t like summer in which case…sorry…I love it so forgive my obnoxiousness over the next few months.) Raise your hand if the highlight of your summer day as a kid …

Lemonade. It’s about more than Beyonce, folks. So I know we live in this super high-tech world where everything is designed to be faster, easier, more convenient. But every once in a while I like something that takes time, requires a little skill, and is a bit more involved. Good, homemade handmade lemonade is one of those things. When I …

(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 …

CLICK Espresso Protein is the sponsor of week one of the 2016 Bariatric Foodie Pledge. Have you signed up yet? In the meantime, I thought I’d tell you guys my favorite way to use Click. Come aboard my train of thought! Starbucks. Frappucinos. I used to love ‘em. Now? Not so much. Yes, you can ask for them to be …

According to my children, pumpkin time is over. This, of course, led to a discussion of the popular Christmas songs that actually include pumpkin references. (By the way, I could actually only think of two: “Hear Those Sleigh Bells Ringing” and “No Place Like Home for the Holidays” but if you can think of others, help me build my case!!!) …

#PWYF = Play With Your Food and is also how I’m going to start to denote the awesome recipes YOU send me! This one is from Dana. He’s been reading BF for a LONG time and I value his perspective on post-op life. After letting me know he’s ok (he lives in the Boston area, ya see) he sent along …

So you may have heard of this holiday…St. Patrick’s Day? I keep hearing about a guy who drove snakes out of Ireland but I’m pretty sure the holiday is about wearing green, drinking ale and being promiscuous (if the Baltimore bar scene can be trusted to tell the tale). You guys have been thinking about St. Paddy’s Day for a …
