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 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 wa...

Faces from Within

I have battled my weight since the birth of my first stubborn child, Megan, who is now 19. Through the years, I have jumped on the bandwagon of many lifestyle diet plans. For me most have been successful for a short while and then I feel off of the bandwagon. As you can see from the photos on the left, I have been up and down with my weight most of my life. Recently with this new change in my lifestyle, I have a certain motivation to give my body an overhaul. I want to be healthier and more physically fit. For years I have abused my body my spiraling up and down in my weight. My motivation is the fact that I have come to the realization that according to Psalms 139:14; I was fearfully and wonderfully made. Now, I knew this before but the Sunday and decided to make some changes to my lifestyle, this verse struck me. “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone defiles the temple of God, God will dest...
