A Review

Hello everyone,

I apologize for my lengthy absence (I seem to do that a lot here), but don't worry, more recipes have been developed and will be coming soon.

But first, a review. And, full disclosure: Allrecipes sent me this product to try and review. I just received my AllRecipes Two-Tone Stainless Steel 8" frying pan and holy cow this thing is fantastic!

Looks gentle - and it is.

So far I've made goat steak, bibimbop, tomago, larb gai, and, pictured below, my low-carb flatbread pizza (recipe forthcoming). Usually this recipe is a pain in the butt to clean up in the pan and burns easily, but it just slid right out of the pan without issue (or nonstick spray) and it was cooked perfectly evenly.

I also should mention that this thing has some heft - great for double duty as self-defense in the event of a home invasion! #ad #ARCookware #AllrecipesAllstars

Selling the Farm

What was that saying my middle school teachers always used? The only constant in life is change?

If that's the case, then why does change hurt so badly? Why is it something so incredibly frightening? And how on earth is it possible to be at once in a place of such horror and hope?

Suffice it to say, a change has come and we're selling the farm! More changes are afoot soon, one of the biggest (emotionally) will be coming tomorrow, so stay tuned.

For those in the PNW interested in a hobby farm not an hour from Seattle, check out our listing here. 1770 sq ft on one acre with a large greenhouse, workshop, goat barn, and chicken house.



We're having an open house on Sunday from 1-4 if you're interested.

Not to worry though, I'll keep on making BariDelicious foods and posting them here in partnership with AllRecipes.

BACON!

So it's not exactly 'low fat.' But who the hell said bariatric eating had to be low-fat?

Bacon from scratch? Don't mind if I do.  #MyAllrecipes #AllrecipesAllstars

Pizza Pinwheels

Prep Time: 20 minutes          Cook Time: 30 minutes

The humble pinwheel - paragons of artifice and cloggers of arteries everywhere. These party-platter inhabitors from childhood really have no place in a post-surgery world.

Or so we thought...

Parents of small children and those who long for the comfort of nostalgia rejoice, for the pinwheel has returned! These are also excellent with a barbeque chicken filling or turkey Cesar.

In Absentia

To those sending concerned emails and messages over facebook: Don't worry, I'm still well and cooking up new bari-friendly recipes (I'll post one of my most-oft-requested recipes later tonight).

I can't say a whole lot just yet about my long absence... For the time being, just know that a big announcement is coming regarding BariDelicious Food and it's one I think you'll find just as delightful as I do!

Alright, fine. I can't tell you everything, but here's a hint: Soon you'll have access to ALL the recipes...

Gingerbread House

Prep Time: 5 minutes     Bake Time: 15 minutes    Assembly Time: Up to you    Add to MyFitnessPal

Ah Yuletide. That time of year when we come together over the Festivus Pole, Menorah, Christmas Tree, Yule Log, Kinara or other holiday tradition to celebrate with loved ones. And what tradition better exemplifies the winter holiday seasons of our childhood than a gingerbread house? Too bad we're WLS patients and not supposed to indulge any longer...



A bari-friendly gingerbread house? Heck yes!

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Prep Time: 15 minutes                          Cook Time: 5-6 minutes                           Add to MyFitnessPal

Hi all, the cookbook is coming along nicely, I'm hoping to have the Kickstarter up and running by the end of January. Unfortunately all that work on the cookbook has meant significant delays on the blog. Fortunately, today I have something grand for you, something several of you have asked for. Chocolate chip cookies.

 

YUM! SO GOOD!
