4. Bariatric Friendly Spotted on the Shelf: Kellogg's Special K Crustless Quiche: These are a sort of frozen, larger version of my homemade Egg Bites (aka crustless quiches.) Each quiche is 10 to 11 grams of protein, between 130-170 calories, 6-8g carbs. They come 2 in a box. Cook from frozen in the microwave, ready in 2-3 minutes. They come in three varieties: Uncured Ham, Cheese, Quinoa & Peppers; Sausage, Quinoa, Peppers, Mozzarella & Asiago; and Portobello, Quinoa, Parmesan, Asiago & Kale. I tried all three (found them in the freezer case, near egg bowls & waffles in my local supermarket.) I was afraid they would be rubbery or lay heavy but they were quite fluffy and tasty. I enjoyed them all but my favorite was the Sausage, Quinoa, Peppers, Mozzarella & Asiago flavor.
I love the ability to customize and utilization of leftovers when I make my homemade Mini Egg Bites (crustless quiches) but these are a great, low carb, bariatric friendly food option for days you don't want to cook or are home alone and need a meal for one.

5. Thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes!! I love Facebook on birthdays it was so nice reading through everyone's messages. Thank you so much for thinking of me xoxo. This past weekend my family came to visit. My brother's birthday was the 27th, mine the 28th and my Mum's next week. It's rare we are all under the same roof at the same time (work schedules: my sis is a nurse, brother is a middle school principal) so it was a treat for my Mum to have all her brood in town. Here's a pic from the triple digit hot & windy day (excuse the frizz and sweat) some of you know the cast of characters for those that don't L to R: my sis, Mum, bro, yours truly.
