This is another new favourite but a little spicier than my sausage and been casserole as it comes from a different place flavour wise. It’s also TRULY a one pot wonder as it has everything in it. Since surgery I’ve found it hard to get my protein in and looked at this as a way…
My first ever Quiche
I’ve never made a quiche before. I’m not sure why. Growing up My mum made amazing quiches, often with whatever leftovers she had to hand and these were always delicious. We also both love quiche, and buy these regularly and always enjoy them but I’ve never got round to making my own. One of the…
Lockdown sucks
Short but very honest post here…. I’m coming up to 22 months since I had bariatric surgery and I’ve just got on the scales after being in lockdown (due to previous medical conditions I’m not sposed to go out) I know I’ve been making bad choices due to stress and anxiety (and not just a…
Smokey Sausage and Bean Casserole
So this is an old favourite but came about as I had lots of leftovers to use up and with the way the world is at the moment we cant afford any waste. Basically this is a one pot (and a pan) wonder and is perfect served with a loaf of fresh baked crusty bread….
Aunty Delia’s nutty brownies
For a while now I’ve been looking for a 3rd recipe to add to flapjacks and cherry scones to make up my new weekend baking routine. I wanted something chocolatey but easy to make and I know I could have made my chocolate fudge cake but I wanted something that was already portioned. So, thanks…
Bulletproof Flapjack recipe
I’ve never been very good at making flapjacks. I think it’s my desire to cram so much in, and my aim to get a crispy flapjack finish that ends up leaving me with something that is either too sloppy or two chewy. Lots of research later and I think (after 5 times of making these…
Cherry scones
Hubby absolutely loves cherry scones and I used to buy these from the shops every time we go out. After a google search though I realised these are actually quick and easy to make and with only 2 tbs added sugar (let’s ignore the glace cherries 😉 ) isn’t that bad for us. So here…
Managing Christmas after bariatric surgery
Full disclosure… I am 18 months post op and at the maintaining stage of my bariatric journey and this Christmas is the first time I’ve felt in control IN MY LIFE!! Last Christmas, 6 months post op was a non-event as I had no interest in food and hated everything about the time of year…
Slow cooker beef curry
My hubby loves old school beef curry. In fact if we ever opt for Chinese he always, infuriatingly to me, orders the curry off the menu. His mum used to make him something similar in a slow cooker so I thought I’d try and recreate this (minus the sultanas she added) I make this first…
Smoked salmon & scramble egg on sourdough
I’ve found that the trick to eating well post bariatric surgery lies in cheating your eyes that you are eating what everyone else is. The truth is often that you are eating much less and I have friends that, even though they don’t experience hunger, do feel left out when everyone is eating much more…
