This cookie is a part of the Bariatric Foodie 2019 No-Flour, Low-Sugar Cookie Collection. Click here to get back to the full collection! First let’s address the elephant in the room. Yes. I know I suck at cookie decorating. I’m aware of it, ok? You want the cookies to taste good or look good in a picture?!? Sorry. I get …

This has been a looooooong time coming. I already have several Cauliflower “mac ‘n cheese” recipes here on the blog, and they all have one thing in common. The pictures SUCK! Since I demonstrated how to make this dish in a recent Bariatric Foodie cooking class, I used that opportunity to rectify the situation. Because you guys just do not …

Oh la, la… Well first…and I know I sound like a broken record here. But these are cookies. In my world, cookies are always going to be a heavily moderated treat. That’s why I am ok with not trying to add protein powder to them. Your mileage may vary. Play with your food! And, of course, use your own best …

PB&J protein shake. Yeah! Forgive my exuberance but if you’ve followed Bariatric Foodie for any length of time you’ll know that I love all things peanut butter. I love the texture. I love the taste. I even love why it was invented (by George Washington Carver who was looking for a nutrient and calorie dense food so that people could get …

So if you read my product review for BiPro Strawberry the one, resounding message was that I’m not that fond of strawberry protein shakes. I must say…this might be the exception. And no I’m not just saying that because I love me some BiPro (although I do). I did actually, genuinely enjoy this shake! It was so easy too! You guys! …

So when I say “Pots de Creme” you may be thinking one of three things: “Nik, you’ve gone bougie!” “What the hell is a ‘Pots de Creme?'” “I am a chef/cook/French/food snob and I do not believe that this can be achieved.” Let’s talk this out. So #1 – yeah, I’ll admit, it’s sort of a bougie thing to say you …

You see meatballs…I see a “Violet Beauregard” moment. (Thank you Lisa on Facebook for correcting my blatant error – I originally attributed this moment to Veruca Salt. Not sure how I got the name mixed up…) If you ever saw Willy Wonka you know Violet as a little girl who won a tour of the famed factory, only to meet her demise …

Spoiler Alert: Nutella is never going to be health food. This is not health food. It will always be a treat. I felt like I should lead with that because there are always new folks coming to this blog and I want you to know that we do, in fact, know the difference between a healthy food and indulgences. We talk about that …

  You know what’s hard? Living in a house with non-ops who have no qualms about eating stuff that would kill me. Now granted, I love to bake so occasionally I’ll bake them a cake or make some biscuits for breakfast but it’s rare (a fact that is much complained about in my house…but when I say moderation, I mean …

Now for those of you who are new, I’d like to let you in on an important piece of information (that you probably already know): when I put the name of food is “quotations,” it means it’s not really that food. So “rice” is not rice and, in this case, those “grits” are not grits. We all on the same …
