(Insert snicker…go ahead…your inner 12 year-old is DYING to do it!) Yes, yes, on with it then… The name is good for SEO the best name I could come up with to describe these things. As always, there’s a story behind them. So…I wanted to make peanut butter balls. Because I’ve seen them a few times. Paula Deen and whatnot. …

Hey Foodies!  This month instead of doing the Foodie Fitness Corner, I’m handling the recipe of the month.  Long story short: I recently had surgery on my leg and I’m limited in activity. So rather than bore you all with my attempts at exercising within my doctor’s limits, I thought I’d put on my chef hat and bad Julia Child’s …

It’s no secret. I love eggs. I love them scrambled, hard boiled, fried, in a scramble, in an omelet. I like to make pretty egg flowers and egg casseroles and I like to make them angelic. I love eggs. So much that there’s a whole section of them in The Bariatric Foodie Breakfast Book! But it’s been a long time …

I have a low-carb pancake recipe on the blog already but I actually switched to using this recipe. Why? Well low-carb is good. But high protein is better!!! This recipe is from “The Bariatric Foodie Breakfast Book” available in hardcopy and Kindle on Amazon. To make these pancakes first I have to tell you how to make low-carb baking mix. You can buy …

 Anyone who knows me and the divas in real life should know we are unapologetic food snobs. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that boxed pancake mix is forbidden in my house. One might think this means I spend a lot of time making pancakes. Not so! My 12 year old has gotten so adept at mixing up …

 Oatmeal! One of my favorite foods. Not the easiest to reconcile in a low carb diet, no matter how hearth healthy it is. For some reason, for a time the balance of our existences hangs in that damn pie chart on our online food journals staying predominantly protein. Because all carbs. Are. EVIL!!! Right? Wrong. And you all know …

 You know what’s been missing on this blog lately? FOOD! So what better way to jump back into playing with our food than with a spin on one of my fave breakfast foods. Corned beef hash. Oh how I miss it! And miss it I did until I had a light bulb moment (these are few and far between …

 Cheese-steak…not cake. I get that a lot when I write that word! Anyhoo…I love eggs! From my head down to my legs. 🙂 Ok, ok…that was cheesy. If you can eat eggs, consider yourself blessed because many cannot post op. I personally don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t. I CRAVE the things. But for me an egg …

I’ve been meaning to do a review on this for a looong time. It seems almost too good to be true. A cereal that is higher in protein than in net carbs??? How could this be? It has to be nasty, right? I decided to find out for myself. My grocery store carries several different varieties of this cereal, of which I …
