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 …

Nik’s “Egg-chilada”
It’s no secret. I love eggs. I love them scrambled, hard boiled, fried, in a scramble, in an omelet. I like to make pretty egg flowers and egg casseroles and I like to make them angelic. I love eggs. So much that there’s a whole section of them in The Bariatric Foodie Breakfast Book! But it’s been a long time …

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 …

Ok, so I’m not into recipe plagiarism so in the interest of FULL disclosure I’ll say this is a total Hungry Girl knock-off. Not that there was anything wrong with HG’s version but…it wasn’t exactly WLS-friendly. I mean…who could eat that whole thing??? Well maybe some can. But for a good many of us it is a stretch. Plus adapting …

I have a low-carb pancake recipe on the blog already but I actually switched to using this recipe. Why? Well low-carb is good. But high protein is better!!! This recipe is from “The Bariatric Foodie Breakfast Book” available in hardcopy and Kindle on Amazon. To make these pancakes first I have to tell you how to make low-carb baking mix. You can buy …

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 …
