lol, that is funny - i am a major cook, always cooking/baking and all that

Leah (daisy) gave me that Eating Well after weight loss surgery cookbook, so i thought i would post a few every day when i get time

it is great for newbies, would start them out with good smoothie recipes and puree recipes that protein powder or skim milk powder could be added to
