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...

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.

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....
