I get emails from my blog readers at least weekly asking this question, and the short answer is ABSOLUTELY, IT DOES.And the other question I get from Trim Healthy Mamas is, “I see you’re doing Plexus now. Are you still doing Trim Healthy Mama?” And the answer to that one is a little more complicated. Yes, mostly, I am doing THM, and I’m still a die-hard member of the THM fan…

Sarah’s Amazing Cheesy Kale Chips {Trim Healthy Mama S}
You know, I have tried so many times to like kale chips. I know all about how healthy they are. I know other people love them. I’ve made half a dozen batches TRYING to LIKE them, and I just never have… they’ve always been bitter. And who likes bitter?! But then my wonderful friend and neighbor Sarah came over with a little bowl of kale chips for me to try,…

{Five Reasons Why THM May Not be Working} It Might be Your Thyroid.
I’m not even gonna try to explain why it’s taken me so long to write Reason Two of this series of posts I promised you I’d write months ago. Sometimes you can manage to do ONLY that which keeps your children alive, one moment at a time, know what I mean? 2014 has been one of those “barely keeping the children alive” kinds of years, but I’m finally breathing some…

{Trim Healthy Style} Breakfast Egg Scramble {and a Shortcut!}
I KNOW there’s nothing about this recipe that’s earth shattering or even remotely original. It’s just that I kind of get stuck in ruts on this THM journey, and found myself SO. BURNED. OUT. ON. EGGS. for breakfast. But they’re cheap, fast, and easy, and so incredibly healthy, chock full of PROTEIN and that incredible amino acid Tyrosine that makes you feel good…. so I want to eat lots…

{Trim Healthy Style} Undercover Brownies.
Y’all, I have to be honest… never in a million years would I have believed that a recipe for HEALTHY BROWNIES could ever be delicious. I mean, I’ve eaten the ‘diet’ brownies in the green box at the grocery store, and NASTY. And then when I read the ingredients list on these bad boys? I didn’t exactly have high hopes. But heck, I’ll try anything once, so I made these,…

WIN a Trim Healthy Mama Book!
I just want you to know that I have THE most generous friends EVER. And one of them, we’ll just call her PB because I’m not sure she wants me calling her by her REAL name, gave me this book to give to one of YOU, because she is fabulous and wonderful and she knows the book can be a little cost-prohibitive for some, and she LOVES to share. We…

{Trim Healthy Mama} Five Reasons You May Not be Losing Weight.
I’ll be honest… I got frustrated with Trim Healthy Mama a few weeks ago, which is why I decided to sort of put it on the back burner. It was frustrating to see so many of my friends melting away SO FAST and me, trying as hard as I could, and not seeing the scale budge one tiny bit. I mean, seriously… friends reporting 50 or 80 pounds losses, THATFAST,…

Trim Healthy Almond Joy Bites and a Coconut Oil Giveaway.
There is not ONE THING about this recipe that isn’t my FAVORITE. I love coconut. I love chocolate. I love almonds, and most of all, I love coconut oil. Combine them all into one delicious bite? Well, you can’t POSSIBLY top that. For years, not only have I used coconut oil in every possible recipe, I’ve made my own coconut oil lotion (recipe to follow at some point), and my…

{THM Tuesday} Mixed Berry Chia Seed Jam.
I can’t remember where I first saw jam made from chia seeds, but I didn’t invent this, I hate to admit. Ever since I started making Trim Healthy Pancakes and Emily’s S Pancakes, I’ve made this jam to put on top. I’m sorry, but I can’t do sugar-free syrup (gag) and eating pancakes topless (or would it be ‘toppingless?’), well, that’s just too bland for me. There are other…

Pioneer Woman’s Asian Salad, Trim Healthy Mama Style.
It was after I made this salad that I knew that the Pioneer Woman and I were destined to be BFFs. It’s because this is our favorite salad! And that’s just only ONE of the things we have in common. Also, her chocolate cake. And men in cowboy clothes. Me and Ree — that’s what I call her, Ree — we love those things. She doesn’t know we’re BFFs yet,…

Cajun Shrimp Stuffed Mushrooms, Trim Healthy Mama Style.
This all started because my family wanted pizza. And I’m a sucker for a five dollar pizza on certain days, especially days in which Susie Whitney Houston (that’s her new name on account of how she acts like an entitled little diva) acts like an entitled little diva, and her older sisters have spent all day having that typical summertime conversation all bored, unscheduled siblings have that goes…
