~by Nikki Not that we eat bread or anything. Nooooo…I don’t eat bread! Do you eat bread? (well maybe just a little…) In all honesty, I do occasionally eat bread. But the main reason I don’t most of the time is because it’s bulky, it takes up too much room and it makes my stomach hurt! On the way to …

~by Nikki From my lovely friend Dee. Remember I told you she had a bit of trouble due to my…erm…technical difficulties? Well her bon-bons still turned out pretty decent. She does, however, have some advice to future bon-bon chefs. She said you might think about cutting them smaller so as not to be so hard on the teeth when eaten. …

~~by Nikki Ok, so here’s the deal. Life has been sort of crazy lately. And I’ve been promising these bon-bon’s FOREVER. You’ve lost faith in the fact that I’ll ever post them. I understand. If I were you, I would have too. So first off let me apologize for that! The hold up is that I don’t have a pic. …

~ by Nikki I will admit…I was skeptical about this stuff. But when my friend Nessa’s hubby, Brian, picked up a jar of the stuff at Trader Joe’s, I gladly joined (read: forced myself upon) him in giving it a try. The stats on it are pretty good. Lookit: Yes, yes…I know…PB2 has lower stats. BUT…PB2 isn’t peanut butter, no …

~~posted by Jen OK, we know it’s not even Labor Day yet, but Summer is winding down and we’ve been thinking about Fall.  Of course, we had to poll our friends and see what Fall recipes you are most looking forward to!  Debby B, one of our FaceBook fans, responded to the Poucher Poll today and asked about Pumpkin in …

~by Nikki So, as many of you know, because I have a HUGE mouth, I have been going through some things lately. The only thing that amazes me more than how much “stuff” life can throw at you is how generous people can be in response. Folks learned I needed protein powder and I got boxes and boxes of the …

~by Nikki Life moves pretty fast. And these days you have to keep up with it if you want to be successful. So now we’ve all become kings and queens of multi-tasking! Why just the other day I chewed gum while doing the dishes (chirp…chirp…). And just as we’ve taught our brains to be able to serve many functions on …

~~posted by Jen Everyone knows how much I love my Click Frapp, but sometimes I need something a bit different.  So tonight I needed a late night protein boost, so I tried something new and it really came out great!  I made an amazing Blueberry Protein Smoothie that I think y’all will just love.  Best of all it packs ALOT …

~~posted by Jen Admittedly, most of us have addictive personalities to some extent. Anyone who has been through weight loss surgery has heard all about transfer addictions and things to avoid in order to decrease your chances of developing other issues. Nik loves to exercise and probably spends 1/3 of her time at the Y working it out. Me, not …

~~posted by Jen I have a deep and abiding love for dips of any kind. I’m not quite sure where that comes from, but it has certainly served me well during my WLS journey, especially early out. The best thing about dips and spreads is you can totally make them up as you go along and they rarely come out …
