Ok, I just have to say…you guys are cooking up some yummy stuff! I am IMPRESSED with what I’ve received. There’s still room if YOU have a recipe to submit for the Foodie Nation. I always make good use of submissions but this week is devoted to what YOU are cooking! Email me at bariatricfoodie@yahoo.com for details on submitting a …

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 …

 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 should first say I don’t find much wrong with creamed chipped beef in the first place.Yes, it can be high in fat and a little bit carby but it’s certainly not the worst choice one can make and if you have it …

 Word to the wise, peeps. Take a look at what’s going on in the veggie bin of your fridge. Sometimes you bought something knowing you’d cook it and love it only to find it months later, rotten, watery and smelly. But look on the bright side. At least you helped your kid get a jump on their science project, …

 I’m sort of under the weather this week, so rather than try to sneeze my way through a bunch of longer recipes, I thought I’d give myself a break and catch up on the gazillion and two products I’ve been meaning to tell folks about. Next up…Fiber One English muffins! Now, up until now I’d done Thomases 100-cal English …

 I just want to clear up one thing first. I have no idea if there is really such a thing as Mexican Egg Casserole. That’s just the best name I could come up with for what this is. It is not a quiche. Not even a crustless one. Quiche implies a lightness this thing does not possess. No…this boy …
