What 60 Days in Ketosis did For Me: My Keto Diet Results

My Keto Diet Results I hope, you’re following me on Instagram, because if you’re not, you’re missing out on a whole lot of hilarity, snark, exclusive first look at my recipes, and a healthy dose of my adorable daughter, Jessica. Seriously, go follow me! If you have been following me, then you’ll know that a couple of weeks ago I wrapped up my #60daysketo experiment. I documented the whole journey, from dropping weight very quickly in the first two weeks, to being sidelined on day 18 by emergency surgery to take my appendix out, my first carb-up, and finally, my… Read More

Copycat Maple Pecan Latte (THM:S, Ketogenic, Low Carb, Sugar Free)

Copycat Maple Pecan Latte (THM:S, Ketogenic, Low Carb, Sugar Free) In case you haven’t heard, Starbucks (my second love!) has released an awesome new drink for Fall: The Maple Pecan Latte And ya’ll, it sounds (and looks!) absolutely divine: If you’ve ever put maple flavored syrup in your coffee or eaten pecan pie, then these flavors are very familiar to you. For the sugar-laden Starbucks version, the drink starts with Maple Pecan Syrup, followed by a shot of espresso, and steamed milk. Then, it is topped with sprinkles of orange and yellow “fall topping.” Whatever that means. Basically, it sounds… Read More

Whole30 Sweet & Spicy Chicken

Sweet & Spicy Chicken Recipe (whole30, THM:S, Low Carb) Ya know what’s been high on my cravings list lately? Chinese food. Like, all of it. Thanks, #whole30…. Sure, its day 13 of Whole30 and I feel amazing, but it’s a lazy Sunday and I really, really miss the ease and taste of ordering in Chinese food, laying around the house and watching movies. Mostly, though, it’s the spices and the big, bold flavors of some of my favorite dishes like Kung Pao Chicken and General Tso’s chicken that I miss. This Sweet & Spicy Chicken recipe is so clean, it’s… Read More

InstantPot Whole30 Cauliflower Soup with Sausage (Whole30, Paleo, THM:S, Keto, Low Carb)

Whole30 Cauliflower Soup with Sausage I often experiment with recipes (hello, I’m a food/fitness blogger). Often those recipes don’t turn out. They end up dumped in the trash, caked onto my pans, and I’m sent back to the drawing board to create the recipe I have in my head. But sometimes, those recipes turn out on the first try, and when they do, I share them with you right here. This Whole30 Cauliflower Soup with Sausage soup was so good on try #1 that my husband even went back for seconds! It’s Whole30, Paleo, THM:S, Keto, Low Carb, and Dairy… Read More

Trim Healthy Mama Pumpkin Cake Roll – Cream Cheese Filling (THM:S, Low Carb, Ketogenic, Grain Free)

Pumpkin Cake Roll – Cream Cheese Filling Ya’ll! This is my first new pumpkin recipe of the season, which is weird, because it’s 85 outside as I’m writing this, I can’t help but think “Whatever, it’s #pumpkinspice season and I am Here. For. It.” I’ve done a couple of cute pumpkin recipes in the past because I like working with the ingredient, like my Pumpkin Spice Creamer (THM:S) but I’m getting serious with this Pumpkin Cake roll with Cream Cheese Filling. Are you ready? I am so excited to share with you today! I LOVE pumpkin season, and having a… Read More

Fathead Pizza Crust (Ketogenic, THM:S, Grain Free, Low Carb)

If you haven’t made my Fathead Bagels yet because you’re intimidated (I was!) I have a MUCH easier Fathead recipe that doesn’t require a lot of rise, and honestly, would be fine even if it came out crunchy: Fathead Pizza Crust. Honestly, whoever came up with the idea of melting mozzarella and turning it into dough is a genius! An absolute genius. After making my Fathead bagels, this recipe is a piece of cake, and great to use for my Keto BBQ Chicken Pizza, or whatever your favorite pizza is. Because it’s made from Fathead dough, it’s best suited in… Read More

11 Vegetables You Can Spiralize (+ Recipes!)

Last summer, I discovered spiralizing, this amazing technique where you take vegetables and turn them into noodles. Seriously. Noodles made out of vegetables, but still….how amazing! Even better, there are so many vegetables you can spiralize, it’s super easy to do, and spiralizing vegetables elevates them to a whole ‘nother level that I didn’t even think was possible. Hate vegetables? Love pasta? You need to start spiralizing!

Copycat McGriddles (Ketogenic, THM:S, Low Carb)

Keto Copycat McGriddles THM:S, Ketogenic, Low Carb, Grain Free Last week I made these awesome Maple Keto Waffles, but like every recipe I create, I wasn’t ready to stop there. This is because one of my biggest cravings lately has been a McGriddle. Healthy? No. Delicious? Ummmm yeah. The sweet and salty muffin, sweet sausage, and the salt and texture from the egg and cheese are SUCH a GREAT combination that it satisfies all of my taste buds at the same time. But, a McGriddle isn’t on-plan at all, whether you’re Trim Healthy Mama, Keto, Low Carb, or on another… Read More
