It’s been all about oatmeal around here, hasn’t it? We’ve had high-protein baked oatmeal, scrambled oatmeal…well this morning I just wanted a plain bowl of oatmeal. But for me it has to have protein. Why? Because in my old bariatric age (just turned 5 years post-op), I seem to be developing blood sugar control problems (I refuse to call it hypoglycemia …

You can, of course, sub in any veggies you like or find you …

It’s no secret. I love eggs. I love them scrambled, hard boiled, fried, in a scramble, in an omelet. I like to make pretty egg flowers and egg casseroles and I like to make them angelic. I love eggs.
