Need a quick easy meal? This one is a favorite of ours and so easy to make. Best of all, each person can pick and choose what they want to eat. I always make two trays for our family. The first pan I will fill with low-carb non starchy vegetables (THM S) and the second pan gets a mixture of different kinds of potatoes (THM XO). My family loves these type of meals. It is a win for mom because they are so simple to prepare and doesn’t leave you with a huge pile of dishes to wash!!
Do you love lemon as much as I do? This taste just like a lemon meringue pie but in a drinkable custard. This is a so tasty these cool damp fall days. Try it, you may be surprised how good it really is.
I have always loved cheesecakes and have found they are one of the easiest desserts to make sugar and gluten free. This one combines the best of two worlds, lemon meringue pie and cheesecake and has become a favorite.
Bins and crates of apples can be found in produce stands this time of year. Their colorful hues range from bright green, yellows, pinks to vibrant reds. Combine apples and sourdough into a sweet treat to eat for dessert or even for breakfast with a cup of coffee. This Latvian Sourdough Apple Cake is a hit with a sweet caramel layer of apples hidden under sourdough batter.
Our family loves salads and this one is the tops! This Cobb Salad also gives a wonderful presentation at potlucks and picnics. Some of our children are not crazy of bleu cheese so I keep it to one side for those of us who do!
What is better than a fudgy chocolate cookie? A giant fudgy chocolate cookie studded with chocolate chips and whipped cream that’s large enough to share with friends! This cookie is baked in a cast iron skillet and has crisp edges and a fudgy center. What could be better than that! Add a pot of hot coffee or tea and you are all set for a special time with your friends!
Fall bring with it crisp days, colorful leaves, juicy apples, pumpkins, and cups of hot coffee. Cinnamon rolls are a favorite in our family and you get the best of both by pairing apples and a cinnamon roll together. These rolls are soft and moist with the addition of shredded apples.

If you’re trying to eat healthier I’m sure you’ve noticed that there is added sugar in almost everything. It can be very frustrating, especially when you’re first starting out, to try and find things you can eat that won’t spike your blood sugar. I remember when I started eating the Trim Healthy Mama way how frustrating it was to find even a taco seasoning packet that didn’t have sugar in it.
Why did we have to have all these preservatives and additives in the taco seasoning? I was not happy feeding that to my family. Yes, the packets are super convenient but I knew there had to be a way to replace the packets. I was right, and it was SUPER easy. Why hadn’t I thought of making my own earlier?
It wasn’t just the taco seasoning either. I started checking chili packets, rubs for meat, creole mixes and they ALL had added sugar. YUCK!

Angel Food Cakes are a delicious fluffy light dessert to add to any meal. I love to bake and these cakes are so easy! This Peanut Butter Angel Food cake uses defatted peanut flour instead of regular wheat flour. Which makes it a Fuel Pull even with the frosting. Try this delicious dessert and see what you think of it!!
Sourdough Pumpernickel Bread like you can buy in the gourmet section of the grocery store — why, yes, you can make it in your kitchen. This moist dense-grained bread is big on flavor. Don’t forget the caraway seeds, they add a wonderful flavor to this Old World Bread. This No-knead Sourdough Pumpernickel joins my collection of No-knead Bread which are so handy to mix and make.
