Continuing my eternal love for eggs, I have two offerings this week. The above photo was the first I made, for breakfast on Saturday. It was so delicious that I felt COMPELLED to share it with my Facebook Foodies right then and there! So…you know how sometimes you end up with a really random amount of leftover taco meat? Like …

(Check last month’s article: A Whole New You: Setting & Keeping Your Goals in 2013 The Ever Evolving Love for Exercise by Hillery Kelly Let’s be real: many weight loss surgery patients aren’t hard wired to love exercise. Maybe you once loved it. Maybe you want to love it. Or maybe, like me, you had to learn to love it. From what I’ve …

The Sunshine Vitamin by Kelly Morris Another reason to love sunny days: free vitamins (sort of). Vitamin D is sometimes referred to as the “sunshine vitamin” because our body can make vitamin D in response to sunlight. Most people, whether they’ve had weight loss surgery or not, don’t get enough vitamin D just from exposure to sunlight, though, and according to the …

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! …

Play with your food. #PWYF This has been my mission since day one of this blog. To play with MY food. To encourage you to play with YOUR food. To build up a Foodie Nation of post-ops who are unafraid to embrace their love of food and translate their old favorites into new hits! I think this philosophy might be …

First, things first. Have you checked the Bariatric Foodie Pledge week one pledge list to make sure you are on it (if you did, in fact, pledge)? If not, go do it! I’ll wait. Ok! I wanted to let you guys know about a brand-spanking new resource: The Bariatric Foodie Back-on-Track Toolkit. “Great! …But what is it, Nik?” I hear …

I seem to be the Queen of the overhead shot these days! If there is a list out there of these food commemoration days, can someone please point me to it??? Thankfully, if you use the handy search box to your right, you search any ingredient, dish, keyword your heart desires and if it’s on BF, the search box will …

It even happens to me, dear Foodies. I wake up late, get out the door late, get the kids to school and…”Oh crap! I forgot to pack lunch!” Thankfully there’s a supermarket between the diva’s school and my job (I only work about 3/4 mile from their school!) so I headed there to see what they could offer me. And …

Cheez-Its. They are my kryptonite. Can anyone relate? Baked cheese is not my invention but I appreciate it, as I do snacks like “Just the Cheese.” But…I’m a single mom with two kids, a dog and a cat to feed all on one meager salary so…sometimes a Foodie’s gotta do what a Foodie’s gotta do. So here’s how I get …

Do you have a default food? It seems to me that most weight loss surgery post-ops do. A default food is that food you’re almost always in the mood to eat, if all else fails. I have several. One of my default foods is eggs. But eggs aren’t the most portable food in the world, especially for our rearranged digestive …
