Blackberry Barbecue Sauce

Although I prefer this with 1/4 c of honey rather than the stevia when using on the grill, this certainly gets the job done as a dipping sauce. Turns out  we use a LOT less when we brush it on before grilling, and eat a lot more of the stuff when dipping. Thus, I give you, the dipping "go wild" version of this tasty barbecue sauce.

Tofu Madras Curry

For those of you who don't like tofu, think it flavorless or without any real worth - you've never had good tofu! This recipe is more work than most I'll be posting, but is perfect for the vegan in your home and still absolutely delightful. The final step may sound vile, but trust me, this is the best use of unflavored protein powder I've ever found - who knew there was a way to sub protein powder for coconut milk flawlessly? Although this recipe takes a little longer, it's well worth every moment! I'll also post a 'shortcut' version in a little later this afternoon for those of you who aren't keen on spending this much time in the kitchen.

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.
