mitchjoann132010 288 Posted May 21, 2018 So I love to cook and my husband and I throw a get together every month with some friends. I love how supportive my husband is of my surgery. I always cook up some amazing food every time however as a twist I decided to use Pinterest to find healthy options. I want also had my friends cook up some healthy Protein food to bring as their contributing food to the potluck. It became a game with everyone trying to make the most delicious healthy recipe. My best friend made a gluten free Pasta made of chick peas and my other friend made lettuce wrap turkey greek yogurt tacos. Aside from the fried cream cheese wontons (for my pregnant sister) upon her pleading I made all of the attached healthy dishes. I couldn't eat them as I am on puree foods still, however I also didn't have any cravings and just enjoyed watching everyone enjoy themselves. Everyone is now talking and being competitive to find out what healthy dish they will contribute next month. I just find this a great way to include friends and family and their support is seriously one of the best feelings. Hopefully in the future I can help them want to include a healthy lifestyle by inspiring them to come up with new healthy delicious recipes. 1- A picture of all the food my husband and I made. 2- Dill pickle, ham, cheese. 3- Cherry, pineapple, ham. 4- bread free. turkey bacon, turkey beef, cheeseburger bites. 5- cucumber, ham, cheese. 3 FluffyChix, Sleeved36 and TakingABreak reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mitchjoann132010 288 Posted May 21, 2018 There's a lot of cheese in all of these recipes :/ but we live in Wisconsin so my friends would be disappointed without it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kt12883 2 Posted May 22, 2018 Oh wow! I'll be there next month! [emoji16] What a great and supportive group of friends! And what I great approach. Instead of limiting your self on what you can eat you invited everyone else to make healthy choices as well and it looks like you guys didn't miss out on flavor. Great idea!Sent from my moto x4 using BariatricPal mobile app 1 mitchjoann132010 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
