I am so happy! Besides the usual reasons, I am happy because I have FINALLY discovered a way that I can eat sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes and I have a turbulent post-op history. Indulge me a moment of recollection. For the first year following surgery, sweet potatoes made me violently ill — as did all foods that were orange …

That was quite a title! First an admission. I cannot lie to you guys. This was NOT supposed to be today’s post. But unfortunately I left my camera at a friend’s house and rather than give you a recipe with no pictures, I’d rather wait until tomorrow, when we can all revel in some good ol’ fashioned food porn! In …

I so love getting food questions! I beg you guys to send them to me…and every once in a while someone does! This is from Alicia N.: Recently at work we celebrated Cinco De Mayo. One of the items served was Texas Caviar or Poor mans Caviar. According to my co-worker who made it you are suppose to serve it …

 Cinqo de Mayo is almost here and I promised you some fun recipes. This is one. The other is a dessert (the divas finally finished off the last of the Easter treats…woot!) which I’ll share probably tomorrow (but it’s quick and easy enough that I reserve the right to post it on Thursday). Tonight’s offering can be a one …

Next Thursday is a special day in three very special ways. #1 – It is Cinqo de Mayo…let the margaritas pour! #2 – I’m going to bare all to the blogosphere along with some of your favorite WLS bloggers #3 – For way more personal reasons…it is my late grandfather’s, Manuel Fernandez, birthday. He did eight years ago of cancer …

The other day on the Pouch Party Facebook page, I asked you guys, my fellow “foodies” what foods you’d like to see get a make-over on the blog. From this a good discussion sprouted about barbecue sauce. Yes barbecue sauce…not exactly the meaning of life or world peace but still important in its own right. There were quite a few …

 Eating plans people! Get your mind outta the gutter! So a few weeks back you might remember I posted what I eat in a day. That post inspired a good number of comments and e-mails, many of the “OMG, I’m not the only one who eats!” variety. But it also got me to thinking. After weight loss surgery, we …

 I’m not typically big on flavored waters. There a few I like but most I taste have the same problem. They are just a drop or two away from being a really great beverage but something is off. Either they are bitter and not quite sweet enough or they are saccharine sweet. So I usually stick to flavoring my …

 Note to self: Never, ever, EVER do multiple dessert offerings during a week when the kids aren’t home. Moving along… Of all the offerings so far – the protein carrot cupcakes w/ protein cream cheese frosting, the Cadbury Cream Egg protein dessert…this one was the MOST fun to make. As I was making it, I thought about how much …

BUNNIES! In EGGS! OMG my head is gonna explode from the cuteness of it all!!!  In a way I think it’s good that the dark forces kept me from posting today’s Easter treat. I’ll get it photo’d and up for you tomorrow for sure (it’s actually a treat that’s fun to make with the kiddos on Easter and doesn’t …
