It really warms my heart when one of my Foodies plays with their food and sends me recipes and pics. I ask for it all the time! And sometimes my wishes come true! Today’s offering is via my good friend, Melissa. I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa when I came to Pittsburgh for the Bariatric Foodie Holiday Food …

Is it wrong that I wanna bust out in the “cuppie cake song”?  You ever get wind of an idea that was so good you wish you had thought of it? But you can’t. You really can’t. It’s not honest or ethical — even if it would earn you a place of eternal glory. This is one of those …

Note to self: with kickass new blog design, sucky phone pics are no longer acceptable!!! Oh…what should come first? The cupcake or the icing? Decisions, decisions!!! For those that don’t know, I am a protein baking freak. Yes, I know of the Pillsbury Sugar-Free cake and brownie mixes and accompanying frostings. I appreciate the fact that Pillsbury is trying to …

Boy, oh boy, a lot of my microwave made it into this picture, didn’t it? …Or two (maybe three) people who really, really, REALLY like cheesecake. While in Michigan, I happened upon a 4 inch springform pan. My plan was to make a cheesecake in my Magic Bullet to submit for the Kitchen Magician contest. By the way, THANK YOU …

First, a bit of business. Yesterday in the haze of excitement, I forgot to mention to you what I plan to do should I win the Magic Bullet Kitchen Magician contest. I think it’s important to know what you’re supporting (and I hope you DO support me on this!). I’ve been this close to finishing my protein shake recipe book …

 It’s summertime!!! Well, maybe not. But it’s hot. It’s hot where I am and, more than likely, hot where you are too (if my weatherman is honest at all). Raise your hand if you’ve already started buying sugar free popsicles in bulk from Costco for your deep freezer. Yeah, I thought so. Those things are a delicious and low-cal …

 Note to self: Never, ever, EVER do multiple dessert offerings during a week when the kids aren’t home. Moving along… Of all the offerings so far – the protein carrot cupcakes w/ protein cream cheese frosting, the Cadbury Cream Egg protein dessert…this one was the MOST fun to make. As I was making it, I thought about how much …

Before we get to the above, let’s talk about love, shall we? Love is…being at critical mass of dessert in your fridge (when you’re not a particularly big dessert person) and making yet another dessert because that dessert is needed. That is love my friends. I love you all. If you love me back, I know you’ll understand the fact …

STOP! You who loves carrot cake! I know you are excited and I know that bunny cupcake is just too cute for words but…I’m sorry. It’s not for you. Try though I did, I could not find sugar-free Peep bunnies, only chicks which were too large for this cupcake. So give that one to the kids. Or just take it …

 OMG. Have you ever had the forces of nature conspiring against you? No? Well don’t ever. It’s no fun. There are many, many reasons I haven’t posted since last Friday but none are thrilling enough to detail here so I’ll just say two things. I’m sorry! And…I missed you guys! Moving on… Have you guys checked out my homegirl …
