Solid Foods Recipes

So ok, before we start one note of caution: when you’re cooking chew gum. Seriously. Cuz I made this one this evening so I could photograph it and I was just a’tastin’ the ingredients. Now it is done…and beautiful…and yummy (I had a small nibble) and I’M TOO DANG FULL TO HAVE A SLICE!!! Moving on… Nik’s Mexican Lasagna Ingredients: …

Thank you guys for voting! I never thought the response would be so high! No worries to all you cheesecake enthusiasts. I made that today too and took photographs so (God willing) it’ll be up tomorrow or Tuesday. So…cheeseburger soup. Let’s just start off with a quick history lesson to how we got to where we are today. Nikki was …

Raise your hand if you ever crave chocolate. Anybody? Anybody at all? (chirp…chirp…) KIDDING! Any chocolate lover occasionally gets a craving for something chocolatey and when you do, really, what do you reach for? A candy bar? A fudgesicle? Me…I’m not a cold treat kinda gal most of the time and I dump so if I even THINK about candy …

Ah…Lent…it brings out the vegetarian in me for sure! I notice, though, that lately I’ve not eaten a lot of meat on any day of the week. Dairy? Yes. Meat? Not so much. That could have something to do with the fact that I have an extremely high maintenance pouch. Meat has to be cooked just right or it gets …

So I had my blog post all written and then I realized something. It was tuna. And last week was tuna. I don’t want you all to think Meatless Fridays is ALL about tuna.

The account that follows is my attempt to fulfill an indulgence of my own. Please take note of a few things before we start on this …

So I wasn’t going to post this recipe. Because I thought it would be kinda cruddy to post a WLS friendly dessert two days after Thanksgiving. But here’s the deal. This got a command encore. So here’s how the whole thing went down. I bring my sugar-free, high-fiber dessert to Thanksgiving dinner. I advertised it as sugar-free which, theoretically, meant …

Ok…so not the best word association. But “orange” ya glad I didn’t do that knock-knock joke? (chirp…chirp…) Ok…moving on… If you don’t like vegetables, quite frankly, I think you might be crazy. Ok, that’s mean. But seriously. Veggies have so much to offer in the way of flavor. And flavor is the one thing we THINK we lose in the …

So I keep hearing about these things called “whoopie pies.” Now some purists might say that this is a food that cannot be WLS friendly. BUT I SAY NAY!!! So I decided to try.
