It’s So Fluffy, I’m Gonna Die!

Want to make your head explode? I have come up with a recipe for cheesecake that is both dense AND fluffy at once. /Pause for gasp/ That's right, folks!... Okay, but in all seriousness, I think I figured it out! One of the main characteristics of a traditional New York style cheesecake is that it … Continue reading It’s So Fluffy, I’m Gonna Die!

Let’s Buck(eye) The Norm!

Buckeyes. I'm not sure if they're a North Eastern United States thing, if they're made elsewhere but under a different name, or if everyone knows what they are. I'll assume that SOMEONE out there doesn't know what exactly I'm talking about, so I'll explain. Buckeyes or Buckeye Balls are a truffle like version of a … Continue reading Let’s Buck(eye) The Norm!

Pe-can you give me a slice of your time?

Low Carb Pecan Pie. The (in my opinion) ULTIMATE Christmas recipe to be tackled! I LOVE pecan pie, but I haven't had it in years due to the fact that it's sugar, sugar and more sugar. 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?

Low Carb PB Cup, I eat you up. Let’s have a Party!

While making various baked goods the other day I was thinking of ways to incorporate some of my new favorite bariatric products into recipes. One of my favorite products that was new in 2019 is ZenEvo Protein Cups. I already included their Cookies and Cream cups in the White Hot Chocolate recipe I recently posted, … Continue reading Low Carb PB Cup, I eat you up. Let’s have a Party!

Party (Mix) on, Wayne!

For many of us, this time of year not only includes a lot of sweets and baked goods, but an old familiar friend of a snack: Chex Party Mix™. If you're on a low carb diet of any kind, this snack is, unfortunately, anything but a friend. While you may think that making something consisting … Continue reading Party (Mix) on, Wayne!

Talk to the hand, ’cause it’s full of granola!

You read right, granola on a blog dedicated to bariatric friendly life! This granola is special though; it's entirely grain-free and low carb! One of the biggest things I've found lacking in my diet since I first had bariatric surgery is texture. Everything is so mushy! If I want that crispy crunch, it's either really … Continue reading Talk to the hand, ’cause it’s full of granola!

Use your Egg-Noggin with this one…

While I intended the Triamisu brownies to be the last recipe post before Christmas, I had a request for my Low Carb Eggnog recipe. Who am I to deny such a simple request?Traditionally, eggnog is extremely sugary and thick, so obviously very outside of the boundaries of what we should have as low carbers/bariatric patients. … Continue reading Use your Egg-Noggin with this one…

I Tiramis-You…

Okay guys, I'm super excited about this recipe. This is a bit of a departure from the rest of the Holiday Survival dessert recipes. Instead of cookies or candies, tonight I have Tiramisu Brownies for you! This recipe combines a low carb, fudgey brownie recipe with a ricotta custard topping. I will admit that the … Continue reading I Tiramis-You…

Dat Cookie, Dough….

Get it?... Cookie though? Cookie dough?.... Note to self: puns aren't funny if you have to explain them. Now where's the window so I can throw this rule out of it and continue in my ways?Moving on... Peanut butter cookies. These babies right here are why I feel so bad for people with peanut allergies (and … Continue reading Dat Cookie, Dough….

Let’s Get The Meatball Rolling…

This post is a little off course for most people when it comes to Christmas foods, but at the same time I know a lot of people have a tradition of eating Italian food at their Christmas celebrations. Whether you have Italian heritage or it's just a tradition started somewhere down the line in the … Continue reading Let’s Get The Meatball Rolling…
