Sometime before I got this awful head cold that I have this very moment, the divas and I took some time to reflect on which Holiday Food Tasting would be better attended: Baltimore…or Pittsburgh.

A few months back me and a bunch of other WLS bloggers did a “day in post-op eating” blog-fest, all of us posting our eating schedules on the same day. I personally vowed to do that more often and…haven’t. Life gets busy and all that jazz. But I want to get back on the good foot. This is what I …

 I thought I’d give you guys a peek into the insanity er…joy of planning the 2011 Bariatric Foodie Holiday Food Tasting (click here if you are going “The what???”). Ultimately I decided NOT to sample out this recipe, so I am sharing it now! But this gives you an idea what yumminess awaits if you attend! It’s basically the …

Hello my wonderful Foodies! I just wanted to take a moment to talk a bit more about the 2011 Holiday Food Tasting. I’ve gotten some good questions about the event and want to answer them here. Why are you only doing this event in Baltimore and Pittsburgh? Do you want the long or the short version of that story? Basically …

No idea what I’m talking about? Understandable. Click here…then come back!!! So like I said above, the tickets to the Baltimore event are now on sale! Unfortunately, I am still working out the final price on the at home tasting kits but I’ll post information about that no later than next week. Just to re-cap, the Baltimore event will be: …
