Low Carb Chocolate Pie That Is PSMF Friendly!
I love dessert! But sometimes on a low carb, low fat, high protein day (a.k.a. PSMF day or “lean” day) it can feel like a drag because desserts usually mean higher fat. This Low Carb Chocolate Pie shakes up that thought and is friendly for those leaner days without sacrificing the feeling of indulgence! It’s nice to have something that is highly satisfying but doesn’t impede your goals. I would enjoy a slice of this pie on a lean day with a couple of raspberries. But a fat spoonful of homemade whipped cream makes this pie phenomenal on those “regular” or “higher fat” days! So. Many. Egg Whites… Lean day…

LOW CARB FLOUR SUBSTITUTE THAT’S KETO FRIENDLY!
BEST LOW CARB FLOUR SUBSTITUTE When I first began my quest into healthful eating, I lamented not being able to bake the way I did when I was on the “S.A.D” diet. I found a few recipes that I could work with but they weren’t exactly what I wanted them to be. So, I wound up tweaking them and adjusting them to exactly what I needed. Thus, we have the Low Carb Baking Blend (or Keto Flour…whichever you prefer). How can you use this low carb baking blend? I love to use my low carb baking blend as a replacement for just about any baked recipe that needs wheat…

COPYCAT “SMARTCAKES” RECIPE
For a while, Smartcakes™ were all the rage in the Keto/Low Carb world. Tons of people following a low carb or keto lifestyle raved about them.

It’s not a perfect 1:1 comparison, but gram for gram my recipe performs really well.

SINGLE SERVE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE MASTER MIX
Who doesn’t love a warm goody single serve chocolate chip cookie! I love whipping up a sweet little treat at the end of the day as a dessert to enjoy while relaxing with my husband. It’s even better that I make single serve desserts so that I’m not doing what I call “fly-bys” all day long. Those can get me in trouble fast! So I see tremendous value in having just one of something to close out my eating window. But I do get a little irritated with how long it can take to get out all the different ingredients, measure each one out, and then clean it up while my…

KETO GENERAL TSO’S CHICKEN
I love Chinese takeout, specifically General Tso’s Chicken. Yum. We didn’t grow up eating Chinese food that I can remember. It wasn’t until I was visiting my (at the time) boyfriend’s parents (who are now my in-loves) that I started even eating the cuisine. That was nearly 20 years ago! We’d go out for Chinese buffet sometimes on Sunday after church, or get Chinese takeout together on a weeknight when my father-in-love was craving it. Once I was introduced to General Tso’s Chicken, that’s all I ever wanted to get! We couldn’t really afford to get takeout regularly. So it was always quite the treat to hear “you want Chinese?” That…

How to Make Fluffy Pancakes
Fluffy pancakes on THM can be somewhat illusive. While I prefer eggs and greens in the morning, somedays I just really want some fluffy pancakes. To date, I’ve been pretty disappointed with how flat most THM friendly pancake recipes fall. After a bit of workshopping some ideas, I’ve come up with this recipe! The best part (I believe) is that it’s flexible on fuel types and I could find everything at my local Walmart, except the whey protein. But even then, there were some whey isolate options there that could’ve worked! I hope you’ll try out my recipe and let me know what you think!

Keto Sloppy Joes
Family favorite turned Trim Healthy Mama Friendly! I don’t know about y’all, but my family and I LOVE sloppy joes! I remember being a young married girl, making sloppy joes from a dry seasoning packet (loaded with all the junk) and dishing it up on the cheapest white burger buns we could get. We were “budget conscious”… But, as time passed, I wanted to start making more things from scratch, including sloppy joes. In the beginning, I would make this recipe with tablespoons (TABLESPOONS people!!! NO!!!) of brown sugar and think nothing of it. Once I came to the Trim Healthy Mama way of eating, I knew I needed to…
