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…

Good Girl Moonshine: A Refreshing Summer Beverage.
School’s out, summer is upon us, and the sweltering heat is already sending us all on the quest for something cold and refreshing to drink. Of course, we ALL know we need to drink more water; even those of us who aren’t all Modern and Alternative know that basic fact of life. Water = health. Duh. But sometimes what you’re really craving… isn’t a glass of water. And that can…

{Trim Healthy Style} Cauliflower Pizza Crust
Take a look at this Homemade Cauliflower Crust Alfredo Cheese Pizza, would you? Oh, it looks delicious all right… but would you believe me if I told you it’s HEALTHY? Well, maybe not by some definitions, because my version is coated with a generous layer of butter, cream, and cheese… but if you’re a believer in whole foods like I am, and that butter and cream from grass-fed cows are…

Trim Healthy Mama Book Review and Giveaway!
I struggled with how to begin this blog post, because I’m certainly not the ideal person to talk about this book. This book, without a doubt, is amazing. Wanna know how I know? Because dozens of my Facebook friends have read it, are following the plan, and dropping weight at an iNCReDiBLe rate. Like, so incredible that I’m JEALOUS. JEALOUS because they keep posting before and after pictures of…

It’s been hard ok, it might have been hard, had I been trying, which clearly I have not — but I just celebrated my 40th birthday and I was NOT gonna have some healthy cardboard concoction for my 40th birthday, ok? I just was NOT. I know, I didn’t have to have the Villa Montez Chocolate…

{Trim Healthy Mama} Skinny Chocolate.
So, like, everybody I know is reading this new book called Trim Healthy Mama. I bought it, but I’ll be honest… I’m only halfway through reading it. That’s because it’s 600-something pages and though there was a time in my life when I could have read that in a day, now I have a terrible smartphone habit that interferes with me reading actual books. The first step is admitting you…
