Cooking Blog/website list
I know I just responded to a post with this info, but thought I'd share for anyone out there looking for a little recipe inspiration. It is a list I created when DH & I were co-leading the support group in CA. Now we need to find one near our new home. Anyway, here it is, copied just like I would print it. Happy cooking.
Helpful Cooking Websites
This list is provided to give some helpful ideas for menu planning. Most of these cooking blogs are put together by people who have not had WLS, but follow eating plans that are very similar to ours. In most cases, the serving is going to be much larger than we can eat, but freezing leftovers for future meals is how we take care of that.
