Easter is today, and to me, it’s the unofficial start of spring. Yep, I know the “real” start to spring was about a week ago, but that doesn’t stop me from waiting until Easter to embrace all things spring. By a long shot, Easter is my favorite holiday. We celebrate at church with Easter breakfast and a special service, then head back to our house where the entire family (17 people in total!) descended upon our newly renovated kitchen for Easter dinner followed by an Easter egg hunt! This was the first year that our daughter was old enough to… Read More

Fuel Pull Sunshine Lime Good Girl Moonshine
I’ve been a Trim Healthy Mama for a while now, so I’ve developed some favorite go-to recipes like Egg Roll In a Bowl, CopyCat Oriental Chicken Salad, and others. Those standby meals are great because they allow me to put my life on autopilot, but after a certain amount of time putitng each meal through the meal rotation I really need to take a break! The same goes for drinks. Coffee, tea, and water are great, but sometimes I need to branch out and put some spice in my life! Luckily, the Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook has some really amazing… Read More

Stuck In A Weight Loss Rut? Try Something New In 2016!
Weight loss, especially, if you have quite a bit of to lose can be a long, drawn-out journey. And, like any big goal, or long journey, it can be hard to stay motivated. The same workouts day in, and day out, the same “diet food” and even the same comments from family and friends have a way of dragging you down while losing weight. I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions, because I think they can never live up to the hype, and that they die about Mid-March, but one New Year’s resolution that everyone can {and should} make is… Read More
THM Pecan Pie Bars {THM:S}
I enjoy good food. I’m not a McDonalds, or even Arby’s kind of girl (except for their Mozzarella sticks, but lets face it: fried cheese is good just about anywhere). I’m not even a Chili’s or Applebee’s kind of girl. When it comes down to it, I love good food. To me, the holidays scream good food, sweets, treats, and family – and no holiday would be complete without Pecan Pie. Since I’m a Trim Healthy Mama, traditional pecan pie is out, but that doesn’t meant I have to be deprived. With a little creativity, some internet research, and a… Read More
How I Lost Weight Over Thanksgiving

For years, I’ve been on that cycle: dieting like crazy and getting results, then indulging over the holidays and hating myself for it. But this year, I found food freedom, and I have to share with you my… Read More
