Experiments in Charcuterie - Part 1

Anybody have any experience making their own prosciutto? Got any tips? I'll post the recipe when it's done. According to my calculations, about 20 minutes worth of work spread out over 2 weeks seems to be about what we'll need.

Experiments in Charcuterie Part 2 -

Duck's nearly done and the goat is up next! And holy cow (or duck, or goat) it turns out it's a piece of cake and is incredibly bariatric friendly!

It was interesting to read about the process of making prosciutto.

Finished duck prosciutto coming later tonight, day one of goat prosciutto (an entirely different process) coming tomorrow, and right now, a photo update - what does 135 pounds look like? That, my friends, will blow your ever-loving mind!

The prosciutto is a success! I think I'll do another - goat this time.

Also, in working on a mix for my chickens, I think I stumbled across a kale smoothie that actually tastes AMAZING! More soon.

This thread (or whatever it's called) is great!! I'm 5 1/2 weeks post op and am tired of canned chicken and eggbeaters. I've been skimming all the pages and agree with everything I'm reading. I know I've been eating WAY too much processed food but it can be daunting to make full meals when I can only eat 1/4 of it, and the dog and the boyfriend both turn their noses up at it! Now that I'm able to eat a little more and am working out regularly I'm ready to eat healthier foods. I am horribly computer illiterate so I'm afraid I won't be able to find you ever again!! Is there an actual internet blog yet? Like can I go directly to your blog without coming here first?

@@Michelle920, Congratulations on having your surgery and being 5/5 weeks post-op!

I hear you regarding S.O.'s and pets rejecting our food - cooking and eating together has always been a big part of my relationship with my partner and when she first saw the suggested meal plans my NUT offered, her first reaction was "I guess we'll be eating separately then." Ouch.

Yes, there is a blog you can go to without going here first:

www.barideliciousfood.blogspot.com will take you straight there and you can 'favorite' or 'bookmark' the blog. Do let me know what you think of the recipes you try, comment on any of the posts that intrigue you, and let me know if there's something you are wanting/missing that you just can't find a simple way to prepare bari-friendly and I'll see what I can do. The meatballs, spaghetti, catsup, waffles, and pastrami sandwich are all from reader requests. I've got a post coming up that's all about fat - whether it's a necessity or a villain post-op.

Take care! And keep us posted on your progress.

Hi all,

Apologies for the hiatus last week - I've just started a new job and the blog took the back seat for a week.

Coming tomorrow to make up for it though - Apricot smoked ribs - my favorite recipe yet - and somehow low fat and low carb... curious...

Bonus recipe to make up for last week's hiatus: Ziscuits

That's right, you can once again enjoy the salty savor of buttermilk biscuits, except this time you get to count them as a serving of veggies!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
