Let’s Share The Love…

With the Holidays upon us, I'm in the spirit of sharing and caring. Now, granted, I tend to be like this all year round, but any excuse to do some more, right? You might have noticed from some of my other posts that I'm big on sharing recognition for the other health type bloggers out … Continue reading Let’s Share The Love…

There Are No Puns For Pumpkin Pie Dip…

Photo courtesy of Hungry Girl...Or maybe there are. My brain has kind of given up for now. As of two days ago, the MONTH OLD graphics card in my MONTH OLD, built by me desktop literally spontaneously combusted. I was using the computer and it randomly turned off. When that happens, it's usually a thermal … Continue reading There Are No Puns For Pumpkin Pie Dip…

That Old Reliable…

We all know it, some of us love it. It's an iconic taste of the holidays in the United States (and perhaps elsewhere?).

‘Cause I’m a Brussler, Baby!

A new post already? What's going on?! Is the world imploding?Naw, I just want to get as many of these posted as possible before Thanksgiving comes around. Here I was thinking I had another couple of weeks. I was rudely awoken from my dreams of nicely spaced out posts when I was getting coffee today. … Continue reading ‘Cause I’m a Brussler, Baby!

What Can You Bring To The Table This Holiday Season?

And I mean it literally! In my most recent previous post, I spoke about get togethers where you're asked to bring a dish to pass. Now, it happens every once in awhile throughout the year, but during the holiday season, it seems like it's happening every other week! So what are you to do when … Continue reading What Can You Bring To The Table This Holiday Season?

Eating Oot and Aboot after WLS…

Before we start, I want to let you all know that this post is link heavy. There are a lot of hyperlinks to external sources of information. Think of it this way; when you do a research paper, you have to have footnotes and a page of works cited. Instead of making you scroll all … Continue reading Eating Oot and Aboot after WLS…

The Post in Which We talk about Culture…

Or more accurately, cultures. You know, the kind that turn plain old milk into yummy things like yogurt and cheese and stuff! After weight loss surgery, dairy can be a great source of protein. Unfortunately, there are a large number of people who end up with some semblance of lactose intolerance post-op as well. In … Continue reading The Post in Which We talk about Culture…

Low Carb Pumpkin Cheesecake, Three ways!

I. Love. Autumn. I really do. I love everything about the season. Okay, I don't like how the weather here in Central New York likes to bounce back and forth between cold and rainy, and hot and muggy in the same week.... multiple times. But other than that, I love it all. I love the … Continue reading Low Carb Pumpkin Cheesecake, Three ways!

Cheesy Bacon Brussle Sprout Casserole

 Brussel Sprouts are something that I'm just coming to appreciate in my adult life. Growing up, it was one of the few veggies that we never had in my house. My mom "hated" them and thus never made them. I say "hated" because, by her own admission, she only had them once and they were … Continue reading Cheesy Bacon Brussle Sprout Casserole
