So as your public servant, I offer you the following super-yummy dessert ideas for Thanksgiving. (Click the title of the dish to get the recipe) …

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 – …

 Raise your hand if you have a kid that just can’t get into breakfast. You beg, you plead, you guilt trip and still nothing. They are perfectly content to go through the whole morning without eating. Thanks to our “revised” gastrointestinal systems we know that the body can go long periods of time without food, but for kids especially …

Ok…so I could say that I am a bit late with this review, but that would be the understatement of the CENTURY. So let’s not wait any longer then. Backstory: A few months back I got an email from the good folks over at Kay’s Naturals – makers of nummy, nummy, CRUNCHY protein snacks – announcing their brand-spanking new protein puffs! I …

 Oatmeal! One of my favorite foods. Not the easiest to reconcile in a low carb diet, no matter how hearth healthy it is. For some reason, for a time the balance of our existences hangs in that damn pie chart on our online food journals staying predominantly protein. Because all carbs. Are. EVIL!!! Right? Wrong. And you all know …

That being out of our way, I did modify this recipe just a wee bit to make it fit into six ramekins. A traditional pumpkin pie recipe would fill probaby about 8 -10. …

(Yesterday on Bariatric Foodie….) You made a spaghetti squash. Possibly your first. Congrats! Now let’s translate it into a yummy meal.
