This recipe is ubiquitous. (And, yes, I did use the word ubiquitous because I’ve been dying to use the word ubiquitous, thank you for noticing!) Even though that’s not quite the right word. Versatile? Mmmm…not really. Ok, so let me just say what it is I’m trying to say. There are very few people who don’t like this recipe! New …

~~posted by Jen Obligatory Disclaimer:  Let me start by clearing up a common misconception about Mahi Mahi, it is NOT Dolphin. It is a fish nicknamed a “dolphin fish”, here’s a link with more specific info about what type of fish it is. Sauteed Mahi Mahi Burger with Greek Yogurt & Salsa “Remoulade” Trader Joe’s is one of my favorite stores, they have …

~~posted by Jen Yes, I eat nachos as a WLS post-op. They were a pre-op favorite and not something I wanted to give up in my post-op lifestyle. So, I had to find a way to make them work in my plan. I don’t eat them every day, but I do have them probably once a week. The first step …

~~posted by Jen Back in my younger days, we used to go to the VFW on Saturday nights. Laugh all you want, but I grew up in a very small, very rural town in Southwest Georgia.

~~posted by Jen Let me start off by saying: No, we’re not giving up on making great “people food” for y’all. Most all of our friends on FaceBook and OH have pets, and you’ve all probably heard tales of my boy Zeus, not to mention Nik’s poodle Precious. Who could forget the puppy napping incident?  Well it occurred to me …

Well…first a few of our friends stepped in to help me when I couldn’t take pictures of my banana bon-bons. And lately, we’ve been hearing from you guys. A lot. AND WE LOVE IT!!! So last week, Jen …

~by Nikki Ok, so the weather has dipped into the 70’s…the 60’s even for a few days. Which, technically, is a sign of climate change which probably means we’re all doomed.
