I just won a prize in the Made In Oklahoma Recipe Contest!

I worried so much about cooking after the surgery. It was my hobby as well as a side income. Well, I sent in a recipe at the last minute (in May) and won in a "Best Use" Catagory. Which means it was a catagory for the precooked meat. I won a Microwave Oven. Last year I won a food processor, for a 2nd place win  in the Main Dishes catagory, with a Savory Cheesecake recipe.

The recipes require at least 2 Made in Oklahoma products. Anyway, I wanted to share with you that you can still cook things....You just can't eat much!  Since I am on the losing side of this, I am ok with that!! 

I'm still shocked, but I had to share with my friends!

Thanks and sure I can....I will put it on my Profile page in a bit. I will put the savory cheesecake recipe that I won with last year there too....I actually use this recipe to fill chicken enchilada's or for me, to eat plain.

How fun! That's awesome, Sherry. Have fun using your new microwave--if you don't give it away, that is, 'cause I know how you are. ;)
Blessings,

How funny that you said that because I was thinking about giving it to one of my daughters!! I will wait until I see it...I need an over the stove type, with an exhaust someday since I have a blank spot  over my stove,  but mine is fine for now....Who knows....maybe I can exchange it out for that.... You do know me and how odd that is on here! LOL

congratulations girl !!      Get all of those recipes together and need to get a WLS recipe book going ??      Idea ??? 
  • Pease check out Dr. Connie Stapleton's Website. A lot of good information on there for all WLS patients regardless of the surgery you chose.  Good luck to all and I'm here for you if you want to send me an email.  I'll answer it as soon as possible.

Thank you!
You know, we could do an OH Cookbook....I'm working on a family cookbook right now and it has been a blast! It's just hard to get family to send in the recipes!  I'm harassing them constantly. It will be a wonderful book when it's done, and one I think we all will treasure as well as help the younger cooks learn how to cook easy things the way Grandma did. It has alot of my mom's old recipes and recipes past down from generations. Now if I can just get it done!
