I love Fall! Warm sweaters, beautiful foliage, cool winds and…hot protein drinks!!! Looking for some new ideas? Here are my Top 5 favorite hot protein drinks from right here on Bariatric Foodie! Favorite Junk Food Swap Drink: Nik’s “Samoan” Hot Chocolate I’m in the midst of Girl Scout cookie season over here (both my girls are scouts). This drink keeps …

First, let’s straighten one thing out. There really is no difference between pumpkin custard and pumpkin pie filling. Pumpkin pie = pumpkin custard in a pie crust. That being out of our way, I did modify this recipe just a wee bit to make it fit into six ramekins. A traditional pumpkin pie recipe would fill probaby about 8 -10. …

(Yesterday on Bariatric Foodie….) You made a spaghetti squash. Possibly your first. Congrats! Now let’s translate it into a yummy meal. I love spaghetti squash because it makes a great family type meal. The divas know (intellectually) that it is not pasta, but seriously? Anything covered in sauce is going to be good. The trick is to make it a …

Spaghetti squash is one of those veggies where there are as many ways to prepare it as people to prepare it. That is to say, my method isn’t the only method, just the one that works best for me. If you have another method, by all means share it with the Foodie Nation (in the comments section)! Wait…let’s back up …

 You know what’s been missing on this blog lately? FOOD! So what better way to jump back into playing with our food than with a spin on one of my fave breakfast foods. Corned beef hash. Oh how I miss it! And miss it I did until I had a light bulb moment (these are few and far between …

Is it wrong that I wanna bust out in the “cuppie cake song”?  You ever get wind of an idea that was so good you wish you had thought of it? But you can’t. You really can’t. It’s not honest or ethical — even if it would earn you a place of eternal glory. This is one of those …

Note to self: with kickass new blog design, sucky phone pics are no longer acceptable!!! Oh…what should come first? The cupcake or the icing? Decisions, decisions!!! For those that don’t know, I am a protein baking freak. Yes, I know of the Pillsbury Sugar-Free cake and brownie mixes and accompanying frostings. I appreciate the fact that Pillsbury is trying to …

So…strawberry protein. It’s sort of a conundrum to me. I’m not the biggest fan but then I wasn’t a strawberry milk person either. I like actual strawberries. Just not strawberry protein so much. So that is to say I always alter strawberry protein. Here are my one-ingredient fixes for strawberry protein to go along with the ones I’ve already offered …

I posted about these the other day on Facebook and wanted to flesh out my review a little bit more. So picture it. Baltimore. 8:30 a.m. Nik is in a rush to get to work but needs a couple of things from the drug store. While there, Nik remembers that she packed no lunch today (boo!). So Nik goes to …

(This recipe is brought to you by Trader Joes. Yummy!) So the divas and I went to Trader Joe’s the other day. For us this is a trek but it’s well worth it. I always try to pick up at least one thing I’ve never tried before to broaden my horizons. So this time I got some Spicy Jalapeno Chicken …
