Topic: looking for slow cooker recipe books
Hi, I am looking for a book that has recipes for slow cookers.  I can't seem to find one for weight loss surgery people.  I found some but they have so much calories and fat.  Does anyone know of any cookbooks out there for slow cookers?

thanks
Barb

Topic: Restaurant Card!
Easter Popping Basket
Someone mentioned that they needed a restaurant card, stating that they had gastric surgery. Below is the website. Hope this is what your looking for. Hugs, grandma64

Topic: RE: Teddi?s Hummus Recipe
I like to take hummus with me to the gym.  My sister usually makes it. I need to get a food processor now. Thanks for sharing.

Topic: RE: High-Protein Vegan Recipes, Anyone?
  This is a FANTASTIC web site for  vegan recipes.. Check it out and do some searching; it's kinda like going to a thrift store. I'm sure you'll find some great ideas.

Topic: RE: Chia seed pudding~ two ways
 Wow, my notification settings are wacked. ha ha   Anyways....chia seeds soak up a HUGE amount of liquid, so 6 TBL of soaked would turn into over  a cup or so with liquid included. I don't have any portion sizes other then what is good for each person depending on their stage :)  

They have allot of benefits including helping you stay full longer, hydration, omega acids, helping to balance blood sugar, anti~ oxidents   blah blah...  

You can really just play around with them, add protein powder to the pudding recipe, grind them, add a TBS to a shake. You can even bake with them, but I never have tried that yet.  Here is a chai spiced tapioca style pudding I made before WLS.  Those are goji berries, walnuts and yes, banana slices with cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom

It looks kinda like slop ! but it's so good..

Adding a scoop of vanilla protein powder would make it high protein~ along with the milk used, and of course the serving size would be much smaller then the pic.  That Basil tea looks refreshing .
