OMG I LOVE Jackie, and we're already buddies!  I had no idea her hubs was a vegan chef, but I did notice that she "liked" everything I ever posted on Facebook about tempeh

 
I love basil seed drink, assuming it's similar?


 

Ok, I've seen you post about the yellow chickens, and I know it bothers you ;)  .. and I won't get a chance to see it when I'm there next month.. but I need to know, is it the skin or the meat that's yellow when raw?

We get birds from a local guy, they run all over the farm ..till they don't anymore and the flesh is a little diff than store bought, tastes like "chicken" chicken.. but I can't call it yellow, the skin & fat though are. 

Go to your local library. I know theres something like "Weightloss Surgery For Dummies" or do like I do, find WLS friendly recipes online. I've copied & pasted several from here and other sites (credit given to sites) of recipes I'd like to try on www.food.com . I'm in the same boat as you are, I am not making 2 different meals. I had enough of that right after surgery. So make the family my little testers right with me. And if you do a search "Weightloss Friendly Recipes" a ton of stuff comes up. Good luck!
