Before I start to tell you about the wonderful lusciousness you see above, I have two questions: Have you read our latest big announcement? If not, go read it…I’ll wait. Did you cook along with soup week? If you did, or are planning to, you have until Nov. 7 to e-mail your soup pics to be entered in the prize …

~by Nikki I totally stole this picture. Mine did not do this wonderful drink justice! First off, I give credit where credit is due. I would not have had ANY conception of this wonderful drink had it not been for my good friend Jupiter6 from OH. She is a stats goddess and anything I know about computing stats, making swaps, …

~~posted by Jen The Inspiration! Back in the days before my RNY Gastric Bypass on July 21, 2008, I adored dessert. Sometimes if we went out for dinner, I would have them wrap half of my dinner so I could order double dessert.

~by Nikki I have a secret. Come close so I can tell you. I sometimes eat sugar in tiny amounts! Eek! Not much of it though. Mostly because there is a specific chain of events that has to happen in order for me to not dump (or go into “carb coma”) as a result. I have to: Eat a full …

~~posted by Jen So everyone’s all aflutter about Starbucks having their new fall items back on the menu. Nik has already created an awesome knockoff version of their Chai Latte, so I thought a protein shake version of the Pumpkin Spice Latte might be in order! Especially since I scored some canned pumpkin for 89 cents a can at Aldi yesterday, …

  ~by Nikki True story: when I was young, my stepfather, a devout Baptist, used to give us each $2 to put in the collection plate at church.
