I have decided to keep a pictorial diary of the foods/meals that I eat as I make my journey back to health. Some pictures will be new recipes that I am creating for the bariatric cookbook that I am writing, some will just be because I think the plate looks like a work of art. I was raised to believe that eating should always be considered an event. My grandmother's philosophy was if a dish for a meal got ruined then add another piece of crystal, silver, or china to the table and no one will notice. So here goes my first entry...

    There's an app called Meal Logger that works great for taking photos of your food. It's like a photographic food journal. Good luck!

    Last night my husband made chicken vegetable soup which we paired with grilled cheese made on nine grain and seed bread. It was so good that I had to have a rerun for lunch. I decided that the soup was so good that it deserved a special presentation. So here's today's lunch: A steaming mug of chicken & veggie soup, grilled (to perfection) cheese, and fresh blueberries.

    And what's a meal without candlelight?

    There is also a thread in the recipe section where a lot of people share their food photos. Some great inspiration!

    Yes, that's actually where I got the idea. I just posted my lunch pix on that thread too.

    It's decaf green tea sweetened with stevia. No calories and you can't tell the difference.
