Heavenly Ham Casserole

I have been missing this amazing old family recipe; that has passed down through the generations, often taken to family reunions, holiday gatherings or other carry-ins.  Since I have been following Trim Healthy Mama, the original recipe as it is written, doesn’t fit into the guidelines as a legal dish to prepare and eat.  

 Recently, I was pondering how I could adapt the old favorite recipe to the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle I have been following.  I have been messing with this in the kitchen for a while, I think I have finally come up with something that will work, so I decided to share it here.  The original recipe was made with potatoes.  We all know that potatoes are a Trim Healthy Mama “no-no.”  The adapted recipe below, is the closest thing to the original recipe I have found.  This would definitely be considered an "S" Dish. I hope that you will all try it and that you all enjoy it.

Luscious Lemon Pudding Tart

I have always had a huge love for lemon and sweets.  Since I started Trim Healthy Mama, I have hesitated to eat a lot of dessert type foods because I know that eating sweets was something that I always enjoyed.  I, however, have been craving something with lemon as of late.  I searched and searched trying to find something that already existed, but nothing seemed just what I was looking for.  I ran ran across a recipe for a lemon poppy seed muffin by  Rohnda Sue  that gave me great inspiration.  I experimented with different sugar types and flour ratios hoping to come up with a bit of a dryer crumbly crust, similar to a graham cracker to no avail, then one particular time, this happened.  I believe this is due in part to the Xylitol, because other times this worked out just fine like a muffin should. The centers of the muffin sunk and I had a light bulb moment. The birth of the lemon tart, verified by Trim Healthy Mama trained folks as a Heavy S,  came together.  I remembered h

Candy, Candy and More Candy

When I began to ponder the idea of starting a blog to document my new lifestyle journey, the first dilemma I was faced with was how to title my blog.  When I look back over the ups and downs of my roller coaster weight loss and weight gain, I thought long and hard about what exactly it was that got me to where I am.  I also thought about what other people might find as interesting topics to read about.  So for myself, I know that there are many contributing factors that have been a source of my weight gain. Most of those factors where formed from habits that I have continued to feed throughout most of my life, childhood and adulthood. Thus the "Habitual" part of my blog name was formed. There are many habits that a person develops throughout their life time.  Some good, some maybe not so good.  I looked up the definition of habit in the trusty old Merrium-Webster Dictionary, this is what I found. 1 hab·it   noun   \ ˈ ha-bət\ : a usual way of behaving : somethin
