You all might remember my first, more traditional, WLS-friendly Lunchable. I’ve been having lots of fun creating different iterations of this idea. Today’s offering: tuna salad with halved cherry tomatoes, onions, TONS of garlic salt, salt, pepper and a little canola mayo. Alongside it are my “cuke-ers” (cucumber crackers) and I have a nectarine for a sweet finish! What would …

Just a quick one today for you, Foodies! I used to love me a Lunchable. But as I always say, I’m living better these days! So I started putting these together instead. Isn’t it cute? Best thing about it is you can make it up the way YOU want it. All you need is: A few thick-cut slices of your …
Read More »Nik’s Protein-y Zucchini Fritters
This started out with me trying to dispel a myth. You see, someone at work told me they’d eaten a zucchini fritter that tasted just like a crab cake. Being a lifelong Marylander (home of the crab cake) I thought surely this cannot be. So I took to the only place I thought might hold the answer: The Google. Through The …

Did you like yourself a Wendy’s Frosty pre-op? I did. It was a little different than a milkshake. Thicker, more ice. It could hold a spoon HOSTAGE! Yeah…the Frosty is nice.

It was wonderfully yummy: herby, savory, a touch spicy! But for whatever reason I just …

Yesterday I was going over some old online photo albums I have on the web. I came across this recipe I used to make ages ago. It’s totally not mine. I heard about it from my friend, Plump Kitty, who also inspired a few dessert recipes of mine as well. This one is interesting to me because it’s the one …

This recipe is one of many delicious dishes featured in Bariatric Foodie’s latest cookbook, Oodles of Zoodles: Your Jumpstart Guide to Zucchini Noodles. Check it out today! So…obviously this Noodleess Lasagna isn’t a completely new recipe. When this post was originally published (about…five-ish years ago)…trust me…it was vanguard!
