~~posted by Jen Submitted by our pal Christine S, she made Nik’s pumpkin roll cake. ‘Tis the season! Lots of shopping, busy schedules, running hither and yon trying to get it all done. Sound familiar? Of course at some point in the next few weeks, you’re expected to have some guests over to your house for drinks and nibbles, or …

~by Nikki Not our drink…but doesn’t it scream “I’m SESSAY!” Ok, so I’ll admit it…I only ever had Irish Cream in ice cream as a pre-op. I used to work at a place called Lee’s Ice Cream at Baltimore’s Inner Harbor and they served Bailey’s Irish Cream flavored ice cream. NOMMITY NOM NOM! So that’s what I was trying to …

 We love, love, love when you play with your food! Our friend, Autumn, sent us this note about how she played around with our salted caramel  hot cocoa recipe: I wanted to share this with you. I figure it might be one you’d want to share on the blog. I have been using some of your recipes lately and …

~by Nikki (No men readers…not the “hot blonde.” Although, I did toy with calling it that.)  S’anyway peeps…a friend of mine gave me a sample size of two of the syrups I’ve been wanting to try..Torani sugar-free Brown Sugar Cinnamon and Davinci sugar-free Praline. She gave me three ounces of each and I really didn’t want to waste them. The …

~~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 …

~~posted by Nik Nutella is one of those things I have resolved I can never, ever eat. I read the label. Doing so made me dump. I already have a cold Nutella shake worked out, but with temperatures kissing the freezing mark here in Maryland, I don’t want no cold shake! So I decided to convert the cold shake to …

~~posted by Nik and Jen We get a lot of notes and e-mails that read like this: Dear Nik and Jen, I want to try some sugar-free syrups but don’t know which to buy! Besides the standard (chocolate, vanilla, caramel), what would you suggest? Have no fear, Bariatric Foodie is here! (yes, that was corny, thanks for noticing…) Whether you …

~~posted by Jen It’s still Leftovers Week, but we’re also fitting in some Reader Requests this week along with our delectable remixes on Thanksgiving leftovers. As y’all know, we try to respond to your requests for help on things within a reasonable amount of time, and some requests require a bit more experimenting than others. This one is pretty simple, …

~~posted by Jen So y’all know I’ve been on a smoothie kick lately with the Yoplait Frozen Smoothies, but those things get expensive after awhile! The cheapest I’ve found them is $2.79 and the bag only makes 2 smoothies. They ARE delicious and easy, and I’ll still keep a couple bags on hand for “shake emergencies” when I’m in a hurry, …

~~posted by Jen Our Poucher Pal Kris H.was chatting with me on Facebook the other night while enjoying Nik’s Thin Mint Hot Protein drink, and mentioned she’d love to have a “Samoa” version. I told her then that Nik is the Queen of Protein Drinks, as y’all know, and I’d be willing to bet she had one or could come …
