Win Free Stuff!! Give us your favorite WLS friendly recipe!
Desserts, main dishes, side dishes...YOU NAME IT!!
Anyone who shares a recipe (You can post a comment and list it there! OR, email it to me at wlsrecipes@yahoo.com) will be entered in a drawing for a box of goodies--protein samples, a protein shaker cup, product samples of other items, etc. And, when it is ready, you get a free copy of the cookbook too! It will be worth your time!! SO, share away folks!! Remember, it does not have to be suited to a very early postop person's eating ability! We're looking for things that are good food choices for someone who is postop at most any stage of the game...

WLS Cookbook
program... It got me to thinking that I'd like to do a WLS cookbook.
But, I need recipes!! I've been saving recipes for over 2 years now,
but it is just the tip of the iceberg! I need more! This cookbook
would be made available to anyone who'd like to purchase it--locally or
otherwise. And, I'd LOVE to include lots of recipes from our local and not-so-local
postops! Each recipe can list the contributor, so you'd get credit for
submitting it too!
I need ALL SORTS of recipes!
protein rich stuff
entrees
side dishes
desserts
shakes/drinks/
dips
snacks
YOU NAME IT!!
Simple or not so simple...suitable for early postops OR those farther
out--any and all recipes are welcome! Low carb...high protein...good
source of fiber...if you eat it, we want that recipe!!
Please consider sending them in! Send them to me at
wlsrecipes@yahoo.
put your name in the drawing I have going on right now for a box of
protein and snack goodies! (view info on current giveaway) I'm also going to put
together a basket full of other goodies--handcrafte
products, and more. This basket will not be drawn for till the project
is complete, so ANYONE who sends a recipe will get an entry in that
drawing. One drawing entry per recipe--however many you'd like to
send! Then, when the cookbook is ready, we'll draw a few names to win a
free copy!!
What to send:
Recipe Name
Ingredients
Directions
Nutrition Facts (if you have them!)
Any notes about things you change or alternate, etc...
I will be working on this for a while yet. Send something now and then,
as you come across others, pass them on too!!
Thanks for your help and participation!
