? for Joyce....

Joyce, how could I get in touch with Darcie Edelkraut?  I would like to purchase one of her cook books if possible...thank you for posting about her. Gena

You can find her at www.DrSimpson.com or e-mail her at [email protected] Another really really good cookbook that I recently bought was "From Monica's Kitchen to Your, "Make it a Lifestyle".  www.MGConsulting.com Monica used to be a chef.....then worked for O.H......now owns her own company and is an incredible inspiration!  I have about 2 dozen recipes marked with posty stickies in this cookbook that I'm all set to try in the next few days! First up:  Turkey pepperoni stuffed mushrooms!  Yummmeeeee! Next:  Halibut with Avocado Salsa!  .....Healthy can taste sooooo good!

I have both of these books.  I bought Darcie's book at the OH Conference in October.  I think this book is great for a new post-op.  Monica's book has some great recipes in it as well.  I have tried the Banana Bread already.  She has lots of recipes for smoothies that would be great for a new post-op too.  Like Joyce, I have a lot of them marked with a post it to try sometime.  I have several cookbooks for WLS patients, but I seem to always go back to Eggface's recipes. 

Eggface has some great ones...wish they were in book form. I have held off buying a weight loss book as I fiure the recipes must be very similar to hubby's cardiac diet. Would still like to get Darcie's  tho.  I am going to buy Giada Dilorintis ....know I butchered that name. Hubby adores anything Italian and she has good recipes. I will leave the pasta to him and eat the toppings/sauces  Gena

Gena,  been reading alot on here about using spagetti squash in place of pasta.  Sounds really good and seems pretty popular.  Im gonna try it just as soon as i can!  Dawn
