Awesome Food!

I visited here as a mid week treat, to be honest I have been trying to get in here for years but I’m more or a spur of the moment person not a plan in advance person. This is definitely a book in advance place! The food was authentic, tasty, every dish was full of

What’s cooking?

Healthy food is attainable daily Whether you want a quick 5 minute meal or can spare 30 minutes or longer, with a little organisation it’s possible to make healthy meals everyday with minimal effort. Two of my most favourites are Cola Chicken And Beef Stifado Both can be made in 30 minutes, use basic ingredients

Breakfast pizza….

I love my Airfryer. It’s a kitchen tool that takes away so much effort! I have a double basket one so I can cook different items, different temperatures and times but the smart little gadget will make sure they are ready at the same time! It doesn’t take much to impress me obviously. I decided

What as a RNY patient can I eat.

I hope this gives you reassurance you can still eat after gastric bypass surgery. I home cook and use recipe books for inspiration. This is just some of what I make, I live in the UK so my diet may not be the same, I try to eat high protein, low carb. I avoid rice

Bariatric side effect

Love Yourself

This journey is still a struggle. From knowing I’ll never be able to eat a full size meal to surgery problems and hair loss, there are pitfalls I wish I’d known prior to going through with it. The worst is actually the body dysmorphia. I still buy clothes too big and feel big myself and

5am

I made a mistake. I ordered a pizza yesterday, it was amazing. I now have migraine, the pain isn’t too bad but I’m having auditory hallucinations, luckily not also visual and luckily again only music. This time to torment me it’s Fleetwood Mac, Go Your Own Way. I still have to take pain killers to

Bariatric Surgery and meals

Wow nearly 4 months have passed and what a learning curve this has been so far. My new stomach no separates foods into oils so cheeses, crisps, fried foods is a definite no. Or a use sparingly. What is also a big no is the white meats from chicken and pork. Chicken legs and wings

And what is this creation?…

Loving cooking at the moment, it makes me feel good. I love people enjoying what I make, seeing them happy from nice filling food. Well this is a pizza chicken. Not chicken pizza, pizza chicken. Chicken breasts halved and baked then covered with tomato purée, onion, peppers, seasoning and cheese; re baked till the cheese
