My sweet grandmama always made the BEST macaroni and cheese. It was one of my favorite dishes, especially during the holidays. I miss her macaroni, but I miss her more. I still have the memories of her, and even though traditional southern macaroni and cheese still reminds me of her, my body can no longer …

Fall is my favorite time of year, not just because it really speaks to all of my senses. I love walking into homes and breathing in the bouquet of spices filling the air. The vibrant colors of God’s creation are a glorious sight. It’s lovely to hear sounds of people beginning to settle into their homes, routines, …

Chicken Parmesan is one of our family favorites, but the traditional recipe is neither gluten free nor THM friendly. Short order cook is not my profession! Rather than make three different recipes for the dietary needs of my family, I was able to tweak the traditional recipe to meet the needs of everyone.Low Carb, Gluten …
I am pretty sure I’m not alone when I say desserts are my favorite meals. I am so thankful to have healthy alternatives to some of the “foods” I used to enjoy. I use the term “foods” loosely because I now know that those sweets aren’t real food that God intended for me to eat. …
As you know, one appliance that I simply cannot live without is my crockpot! Crockpot meals are my favorites. On days when we have a lot going on, it is so easy to just dump some ingredients into the crockpot and let it do all the work. It’s almost like having our own chef because …
JULY 16, 2013MANDY Earlier this year my handsome husband and I were enjoying a nice date night at a local restaurant. I couldn’t decide what to order. I’m not one of those who people who can veer off of the healthy diet path and get back on the straight and narrow diet plan the next day. …

Crispy, juicy, mouthwatering fried chicken – that’s what my sweet grandmama used to make. She lovingly battered each piece and carefully fried them in her pressure cooker. Boy, do I miss that fried chicken. Even more, I miss my sweet grandmama–I wish my children could have known her. She was an amazing, southern cook. Of …
I’ve been ordering produce through a co-op called Brown Box Veggies. I received an acorn squash in my box this weekend. I really wasn’t sure how I wanted to cook it since I’m probably the only one in my home who is going to eat it. I decided to make squash soup. It was delicious and such a warming, …
My family’s favorite meal is pizza, so we have it often. Our gluten free pizza crust recipes aren’t low carb so I didn’t know how I was going to enjoy pizza on Trim Healthy Mama. I’ve eaten several different low carb variations of pizza since becoming a Trim Healthy Mama. When I started on the plan, I …
