Foodie Submission: Lois’s Banana Butterscotch Protein Blizzard

So last week I promised reader submissions! This one came in from Lois. We actually ended up having a really good and productive email conversation stemming from her emailed recipe and she has given me permission to share that conversation with you.

Mini-Caramel Cream Cakes

Ok, so I’m not into recipe plagiarism so in the interest of FULL disclosure I’ll say this is a total Hungry Girl knock-off. Not that there was anything wrong with HG’s version but…it wasn’t exactly WLS-friendly. I mean…who could eat that whole thing??? Well maybe some can. But for a good many of us it is a stretch. Plus adapting …

Curried Chickpeas

 So my daughter comes to me one day and says, “Mom, I want to be a vegetarian.” At 10 years old it has always been a challenge getting the child to eat meat.

Nik’s Zesty Skillet Mushroom Chicken

Better pic forthcoming…I promise! I made it yesterday for tonights dinner which…hasn’t happened yet.  I’ve found, in my experience, that people either love mushrooms or they hate them. Every once in a while I’ll run into the rare person who says, “Enhhh, I can take them or leave them,” but again…that’s pretty rare. Me? Definitely on Team Mushroom! I …
