I was recently given the opportunity to try OnCali's CBD gummies and sublingual oil. Now, admittedly, the gummies I received are not sugar free and thus not the best choice for a bariatric patient.

I’m in a New York (Cheesecake) State of Mind….

Having lived in New York for my entire life, I've always known that there are a few certain inexorable things that come with being a New Yorker: a snarky attitude, a large roster of four letter words, a love of REAL apples and cheesecake. Real, honest to goodness cheesecake. The dense, creamy decadence that all … Continue reading I’m in a New York (Cheesecake) State of Mind….

However, I had a request to come up with a good low carb recipe for one this year, so … Continue reading Pe-can you give me a slice of your time?
