Soft Foods Recipes

Ok, so I realize since I’ve been stepping my photography game up lately that this picture COULD have been better. But it was taken at work. Cut me some slack!!!  You ever go to make something you REALLY want, reasonably sure you have all the ingredients, then you go to finish it and you find that you really don’t? …

PWYF??? Play with your food! Learn that acronym…then we can speak in secret languages and giggle as others look confused! Moving on…seriously. This acronym is going to become increasingly important on Bariatric Foodie in the coming months…so I want you to know what I mean while I describe a “PWYF Moment.” An e-mail I got from a reader, Melissa, perfectly …

~by Nikki The pies go marching one by one…hurrah…hurrah…  Raise your hand if you, like me, used to love it when your mom was too busy to cook dinner and handed you off one of those little pot pies that you cook in the oven?

 It’s Super Bowl Sunday…and I know you…all of you. You’ve gone and made your family and friends wonderfully yummy treats to eat during the big game but…have you made anything that is yummy that YOU can feel good about eating?

That stuff definitely helped me get real food in when I was early out. My ex-husband Ken LOVES LOVES LOVES buffalo wings. I am not kidding. So I created this dish for him …

~posted by Jen Ready to devour! I’m still battling this cold/flu/bronchitis crap that won’t go away, but I also have a family to feed. Today I made it easy on myself by popping dinner in the Crock Pot while I was making my morning Clickety Split Vanilla Toffee Salted Cocoa. It will be done tonight when the boys are hungry, and …

~by Nikki  Someone please tell me why it is that I can perfectly assemble a 4 oz. parfait but the damn Mocha Forrest Trifle eluded me??? That’s quite a name, innit?
