Love Potato Chips? 18 Ways To Satisfy The Craving The Healthy Way

Early this week, my daughter caught some sort of virus that’s been going around. She started wanting to be held non-stop (this is the child that NEVER stops moving) and felt really warm to me, even though the thermometer still hadn’t registered any sort of fever. I knew she wasn’t feeling good, but I did what any mom would do: pushed fluids, cuddled with her, and monitored her temperature. Around 9 pm, though, her temp rose to 101.4, and I started to get stressed. I sent the hubs to the store for some comfort foods – namely chips and dip… Read More

THM Fuel Pull Ranch Dressing (With S and E Options)

There was a time when I though I couldn’t have ranch dressing. This was way before I discovered Trim Healthy Mama, back when I was a runner, when I waitressed on roller blades for a living, and when I shed 50 pounds over the course of a year.

Love Lemon Meringue Pie? Here’s A Satisfying THM Version

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!

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
