So ok…this video is a bit choppy. We tried some new methods of shooting stuff to make it more condensed. So put all that aside. Let me show you something…THIS is what you get at the end of the experience… So what’s a few bad edits in exchange for THIS??? This blog is in real time people…and in real time …

I do too! So I tinkered around in the kitchen and came up with these babies. Mind you they are still on the moderation list. They are not protein forward. They are not even particularly low calorie (although if you look below at the comps to McD’s it is a significant reduction in calories). My suggestion? Make them. Freeze them. …

Whaddya know! A two-fer! People often ask me how much I can eat. Mostly because I always say I have the “Wonder Pouch.” Not really though. I just know what healthy things I can eat a lot of and I tend to gravitate toward those foods. Because I like to eat. A lot. So anyway, this was my lunch today. …

So there’s a story behind this recipe (of course). I was on the treadmill reading Food Network Magazine (as I was wont to do in my earlier days) and I saw this egg dish that looked very pretty: it was eggs in a cup made of phyllo dough. Loved the concept. Did not want the phyllo dough. So I decided …

So I have been trying for the better part of the day to get this damn video up on the blog. Is it there??? Is it really there??? Ok, so the Carbquik pancake…folks have been having trouble with the recipe. And that bothers me. For several reasons: firstly because as a person who dreams up recipes you never want your …

So most of you already know this, but for those that don’t…funnel cake is basically a glorified pancake. Sorry to ruin any romantic conceptions you had about this summertime carnival treat, but that’s basically what it is. The good news? This works to our advantage in creating a WLS friendly version. 3 fundamental problems with traditional funnel cake that make …

Ok, so shoot me, I don’t have a picture to show you. This is mainly because my digital camera is sitting in my electronics basket…uncharged….where it has been for the last month. One day I will get around to doing the incredibly simple task of plugging in the battery charger but today it was just too much, OK???? As a …

I don’t know why I originally named this post what I did. I do have champagne wishes though in that I wish I had the amount of money a good champagne cost. Cuz a sista is BROKE! Which means we use what we have in our fridge. Tonight the fridge gods were good to me and gave me the ingredients …

I used to love this stuff. Creamy, super sweet, cold…what’s not to love? I’d drink it alongside a mountainous plate of Pad Thai…I should look up how many calories all that would be. Yikes. Maybe not. Anyway…even this specialty drink is not off limits for us! It is, however, off-limits for drinking at the same time as you eat…even if …

Cinqo de Mayo is now my absolute favorite fake holiday. I have it on good authority from a few Mexican friends that Mexicans generally don’t celebrate the holiday and that it’s basically just a (damn good) excuse to drink.
