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...

Ages and Stages

We all have those precious memories of times in our lives that we often go back to. Those times that bring about a special happiness because we are reliving a time in our lives when nothing else seems to matter or interfere. I personally take myself back to childhood days when I used to go with my pa to visit my grand dad at the grain elevator. I reminisce today about the sights and sounds of the country life. I enjoyed life back then as a small child. I hear the sound of the grain dryers and the grain switching from one silo to the next. As I go back to those days, I remember the vintage pop machine that was just inside the office, grand dad used to always buy me a coke when we would visit. As I think about the new Coca-Cola Life, I am taken back to those days. Days when you could buy a glass bottle from a soda machine. Recently I received a bottle of Coca-Cola Life free to provide a review, giving my honest opinion of the product....

A Little Piece of Chocolate Heaven

What better way to start the day than with some THM approved Strawberry Chocolate Bars. Who would have known or thought that there was a secret ingredient in the base of these bars? By the looks and the taste of them, I certainly would have never guessed. Just what is that secret ingredient, black beans. My husband and my children turned up their noses as I told them that I used the draining black beans in my yummy brownies. The end result was so much better than I ever would have anticipated. This post will be quite brief. I am so excited about this new lifestyle, I can eat foods that I never would have imagined and still lose weight. So let me just get straight to the guts of this yummy treat. For those following Trim Healthy Mama I ran the recipe past some experts in the plan. This was approved as an S and the serving size can be decreased to 9 instead of 16 and still be on plan. Personally, I find that a small serving of this is plenty. Strawberry Chocolate Bars Makes 16 Bars ...
