Let's start with the basics. I'm sure many of us wish we could still have some sort of bread, even if only as a vehicle for meat, eggs, or cheese on our sandwiches. Despite their apparent simplicity, this riff on Paleo Oopsie Rolls have a great flavor reminiscent of potato bread and is easily modifiable to suit most any palatte.

Welcome!


Hello BariBrothers, BariSisters, BariFamilies, and general lovers of healthy, good food. My name is Smye and I live on a small farm in the Pacific Northwest.
During both pre and post op appointments with my nutritionist*, I was horrified by the suggested things I could eat once I was back to 'regular foods.' The suggestions I was given were flavorless, full of preservatives & junk, and/or otherwise reminiscent of the american 'instafoods' that are, in my opinion, a huge part of the original problems. That said, I wanted to share some of the real, whole foods I've been enjoying lately without hurting my body or deviating from the dietary guidelines provided to me by my NUT. I'm down 175 lb since I started this journey on Jan 22, 2015, and loving every meal as much as, or more than, pre-op. I've learned a lot so far, and  surely I have a lot more I'll learn in the coming months and years, but I wasn't to share what I've learned so far with you.
