What’s my favorite recipe? Do I have a favorite recipe? I suppose I used to, but since having gastric bypass my ability to eat has been drastically reduced. These days my favorite recipe is probably a frozen chicken patty and a handful of frozen french fries cooked in an air fryer and chased by a protein bar, followed at least 60 minutes later by a water bottle full of sugar free lemonade mix.
Basically anything in an air fryer gets it done for me today. Chicken, fish, anything on the lighter side. I find myself in the second year post-op getting in touch with my Irish heritage by craving potatoes all the time. Mashed, baked, fried, whatever. I just like potatoes a lot now. It’s kind of weird.
On the more adventurous side, Jen cooked a veggie egg dish a couple of weeks ago that was really good. She also makes a quinoa dish with taco seasoning that is amazing. So amazing I tend to eat too much of it too quickly which makes me a little sick. I need to be more careful when she cooks it. I went grocery shopping yesterday and she put taco seasoning on the list. Was that a hint? We’ll see.
So do I have a favorite recipe? Not really. I have things that work for my bypassed digestive system and I expect I will be eating them regularly for the rest of my life. That is 100% a-okay with me.
Now I am going to publish this and have a protein bar for breakfast and then go and do some car music. Happy Sunday, everyone.
