(Unless of course you don’t like summer in which case…sorry…I love it so forgive my obnoxiousness over the next few months.) Raise your hand if the highlight of your summer day as a kid …

First let me explain exactly what a test kitchen recipe is (in my head). That means it’s a recipe I’m working on that hasn’t quite “made it” to where I want it to be. I say this again and again but I am not the Bariatric Foodie, I am a Bariatric Foodie, so I realize there are some bakers out …

Indulge me a short manifesto. Every year (late-August, to be exact) the same thing happens.

Back when I was a lil’ baby post-op, there weren’t that many options for coffee flavored protein drinks. Thankfully I was born into a few, but nothing like the explosion we’re seeing now. Today, post-ops have: Click Big Train’s Fit Frappe Chike Protein Iced Coffee Nectar Cappuccino ProJoe And probably 17 others I haven’t mentioned but that you all swear …

Now that we’re all settled with week two of the Bariatric Foodie Pledge, I thought we might talk about some…oh I dunno…food? Protein baked oatmeal! I like it. You guys seem to like it. But I LOVE it when a Foodie sends me their recipe! Here’s what India sent me. And bonus points for shouting out BF in her pictures! …
