baby, it's cold outside! Just taking a shovelling break - 1 hour shovelling, then a coffee break, then back outside. And the snow keeps coming down ... and across (as the wind is blowing).

I went to the OH event near my town and after Eggface and Melting Momma's presentation on bariatric cooking, I went out and:

1) Replaced my Magic Bullet

2) Bought a new blender

3) Bought an ice cream maker (for Protein ice cream)

Then Mini-Mac talked me into making chocolate pumpkin Protein Muffins. Which used none of this new stuff but I did make myself a Protein Shake in the bullet. Which works much better than my old bullet.

Awesome! Please share some recipes! The muffins sound great. I love ice cream so let me know how that works out. I would love to be able to eat ice cream. :sad_smile: I have never used a Magic Bullet. What is the deal with them as opposed to a regular blender? I actually just use a shaker bottle so maybe I need to expand my horizons. :tongue:

Are they Cons Chucks? I love baby Chucks! What color did you get? My brother got his goddaughter baby pink Chucks years ago. OMG they were awesome!

I've always thought it was the lack of fat to keep you warm!

Re the putting out the Desserts when guest bring them: I've never really heard of someone bringing desserts to a dinner party unless they were specifically asked to do so, but if I showed up with some yummy desserts to offer and my host didn't put them out, I'd be hurt and thinking they didn't like it or it wasn't good enough. Just saying...

*edits*

Then again, if I had invited people to a dinner party and they showed up with desserts when I hadn't asked them to bring something, I'd probably be thinking they didn't trust my cooking enough to make a nice dessert for them! LOL! Maybe I'm just paranoid :sad_smile:

Oh my. That is blasphemy in my world! :scared2: Shopping is like a religion for me..... :lol:

Then I guess I'm a double atheist. :biggrin: I hate shopping too.

The recipe is from a friend. She's a foodie and comes up with these recipes all the time. It's really easy:

1.5 cups of a chocolate Reduced Sugar cake mix (I used Pilsbury's RS Devil's Food)

1.5 cups of Chocolate Protein Powder (I used Champion Nutrition's Pro Score 100, but she uses Chike and I think hers taste better)

1 15 oz. can of pure pumpkin (NOT pumpkin pie mix)

Combine the cake mix and the Protein powder, then add in the pumpkin. Stir and stir and stir until you get a sticky mess. (For a while it will look like there isn't enough liquid, but there is.)

Put in mini-muffin pan that was lightly sprayed with PAM and bake at 375 degrees for 9 minutes. (Pre-heat the oven, of course.)

Makes about 18 muffins.

The cool thing is that you can substitute in any flavor of cake mix any flavor of protein powder to make different flavor muffins. Like Yellow Cake mix and banana protein powder.

A box of cake mix will make two batches of muffins, but there will be some left over. I just threw it out, but I'm guessing you could save it for the next time.

So... the Magic Bullet is a mini-blender. But the cool thing is that it comes with all these cups. You can blend right in the cup and so you don't have to wash both the cup and the blender cup. If you make your shakes with ice, Water and powder and put them in a blender (of any sort), you get a slushy shake that is like a smoothie. They are much tastier.

Alternately, once you mix them, you can put them in the ice cream maker. Then you get a Protein Shake that is the consistency of ice cream.

I have also gotten into adding Torani syrups to my shakes. So I'll buy vanilla and chocolate protein powder and add syrups to get different flavors. I'm drinking one that combines vanilla with white chocolate flavor right now and earlier I had added caramel flavor to a vanilla shake.

i can't bake for crap - requires following too many instructions:tongue:

when i have people over for the wkend or dinner - they always show up w/desserts of some sort. i'll always have some type of fruit - but the best i can do on the sweet side (and i don't have a sweet tooth) is M&M's or hit the bakery.

however - i never show up to a dinner party empty handed.

flowers, plant, candle, pastry, bottle of wine - all perfect gestures to your host thanking them for cooking a meal for them. i would put out whatever was brought, it's more than likely a thanks for the invite.

Well there's just no pleasing you, is there!?!:biggrin:

According to the etiquette searches I did, the host is not obligated to serve it, any more than if the guest brought wine. Whew!! It wasn't a case of not liking it or anything, and I certainly appreciated the thoughtful gesture. I just had desserts planned (and keeping in the dinner theme). DH is thrilled - more for him to eat!

Good night all - 4am comes early!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
