The Best Broccoli Salad - S

  My mom is asked to make this a lot! It gets rave reviews where ever she takes it. She was very quick to THM-ify it after we started this lifestyle. It still gets rave reviews and nobody knows it's 'diet' unless we tell them!

The Best Broccoli Salad - S

Best made one day ahead of time to let the flavors meld.

2 Heads of Broccoli

1 Lb of Bacon

24 oz of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

1 Medium Onion

Fry Bacon until it's very crisp. Set aside. 

Chop Broccoli head into very small florets and dice onions.

Mix Broccoli, onion, and cheese with crumbled bacon.

DRESSING

1 cup of Mayonnaise

1/4 tsp of Stevia Extract

2 Tbsp of Vinegar

 (I recommend a good brand like Bragg's)

8 oz of Cream Cheese

Mix all ingredients

 (I'm lazy. I just throw everything in my Ninja Blender)

Mix dressing with broccoli mixture and refrigerate (preferably overnight)

Special Occasion Strawberry Lemonade Cake - S

    I made this wonderful cake for my Mom for her birthday. It was a hit! We ate way too much of it. Even the non-THMers were caught snitching pieces.

    Don't be intimidated by this picture. You don't have to be a cake decorator to make it. It just might not look as nice ;) My instructions won't include any cake decorating equipment.

Special Occasion Strawberry Lemonade Cake

1 Recipe of Special Occasion Chocolate Cake from the Trim Healthy Mama Book

(Page 384 - omit cocoa powder)

1/2 Recipe of Singing Canary Pudding

(made very thick and refrigerated overnight)

1 1/2 Recipes of Whipped Cream

1 Lb of Fresh Strawberries, Hulled and Sliced.


Bake cake according to directions (remember to omit cocoa powder ) in
two 8'' round cake pans. Allow to cool completely.

Place first layer on a cake plate. Spread a good amount of the Singing Canary Pudding
on top (no more than 1/2 of the amount but that might be a little much). Add a single
layer of sliced strawberries. Place second cake layer on top. Ice sides with the Whipped
Cream. You 'll want it to be fairly thick as this is the only 'icing' the cake will receive.
On top add more Singing Canary Pudding ( try to keep it from getting too close to the
 sides or it will 'bleed' down the cake) and the rest of the sliced strawberries.

If you're going for a good presentation, you might want to just hold the last layer
 of pudding and strawberries for right before you serve. If you do that you
can also add whipped cream to the top when you ice the cake.

If you want to make this patriotic, use blueberries with the strawberries!

Grab a grandson whose birthday is two days after your's, make a wish and blow out the candles!
(Last step is optional)

Happy weekend, everybody!

Zucchini Tomato Stir Fry - FP

    I don't know if you can actually call this a stir fry. I've never seen  'The Official Rules of Stir Fry'.

It just seemed like a good name.

    This tastes like fuel pull comfort food. I wanted something warm and satisfying, that wasn't actually Satisfying (you Trim Healthy Mamas know what I mean). This fit the bill perfectly.

    I offered the other serving to my Mom. She said it didn't really look like something she would like,but in the spirit of all good mothers, she tried it. And ate the rest of it. We didn't have a sniff left.

    When I made this, I used tuna fish. I would have preferred to use chicken but we didn't have any readily available. I was actually surprised it tasted as good as it did. I will definitely be making this again!

    

Zucchini Tomato Stir Fry

Serves 2

1 Zucchini

1 small can of Diced Tomatoes

6 oz Lean Meat

Sprinkle of Garlic Powder

Sprinkle of Onion Powder

A Little Pepper

A few slices of Jalapenos, optional

Drizzle of Liquid Aminos

Small Sprinkle of Parmesan Cheese, optional

Slice zucchini very thin and put in a skillet on medium heat.

Drain most of the juice from diced tomatoes and add to skillet.

Add lean meat of your choice (diced or shredded or whatever)

Add spices and optional jalapenos. Cook until zucchini is tender.

Remove from heat and add Liquid Aminos and Parmesan Cheese.

Enjoy!

Jalapeno Popper Dip - S

    I love Jalapeno Poppers. Those really good Bacon Wrapped Jalapeno Poppers ones are on plan. BUT..

I had a bad experience de-seeding jalapenos once. Correction, I did not have the bad experience, my aunt and small cousins did.

    My (very pregnant) aunt was visiting our house with her small children and I set about to make these. Her twin 7 year old girls wanted to help. I let them. This was in my less brilliant days (I was 18).One of the girls actually squirted jalapeno juice into her eye. The other one rubbed her eye with the juice on her hands. They screamed bloody murder for about an hour straight. No kidding. It wasn't pretty. I still feel very, very bad about this. At least we laugh about it now (very softly and nervously. kidding)    

Therefore, to this day I try not to de-seed jalapenos too often. I will brave it occasionally, but only when there's no little kids with in 50 miles of our house. 

Now, I just make a dip and use the sliced jalapenos from a jar. Much safer, although it could still be dangerous to small children.

Jalapeno Popper Dip

4 oz of Cream Cheese
2 Tbsp of Sour Cream (or Greek Yogurt)
1/2 - 1 Tbsp of Jalapenos, chopped (from jar)
6 strips Cooked Bacon, or to taste
Small Splash of Liquid Aminos
Sprinkle of Nutritional Yeast
Sprinkle of Garlic Powder

Quick Tip - Fast and Easy Whipped Cream

    I hate strongly dislike having to use our Kitchen Aid Mixer every time I want just a tiny bit of whipped cream.
 
    I know... I could just buy an aerosol can of it from the grocery store, but that doesn't really appeal to me for multiple reasons. One being, I live with 4 brothers.
   
    Some of you don't understand what that has to do with anything. Others are nodding theirs heads in sympathy. It makes perfect sense to you.
 
    I cannot tell you how many cans of whipped cream I have brought home and used once or twice and then the rest of the can disappears. Everybody denies even knowing it existed, much less actually touching the can. It's a mystery..... So it's not very cost effective.

    Now, after figuring out my nifty new trick, I can have a tiny bit of whipped cream whenever I want.

How do you perform this modern marvel, you ask? Very simple. 

Pour however much cream your little heart desires into a blender cup.

Add a quick dash of Vanilla and sweetener.

Twist lid on cup. Blend until you see the consistency change.

This will be about 5-10 seconds (I think, I've never actually timed it).

I don't know how this will do with bigger amounts (like a full cup) but I'll try it someday when I want that much. Until next time, Happy cooking!

Singing Canary Pudding!! - FP

    This is very cool! I love the Singing Canary but I don't always drink it in a timely fashion. I also didn't particularly care for the Lemon Mousse recipe in the Trim Healthy Mama Book. My mom loves it, but I always thought something was missing. 

    Well Mom and I agree. This is great!!! It should have all the same health properties of the drink version (except maybe the hydrating one because your not drinking water with it). This is BURSTING with flavor. And what a pretty color! I might make this for the nephews and niece when they visit next. I would love to get their feedback.

Singing Canary Pudding - FP

1 Batch of the Original Singing Canary Recipe

1 1/2 - 2 tsp of Glucomannan

Make the Singing Canary Recipe as per instructions.

Do not pour over ice and do not add more water.

Leave concentrate in Blender.

Slowly add the glucomannan and blend, blend, blend.

A good method is to add about 1/2 tsp, blend for 2-3 minutes, let it rest for about 1 minute.

Add 1/2 tsp, blend for 2-3 minutes, let it rest for about 1 minute, etc.

 until you have reached desired consistency.

Remember, it WILL thicken as it sits in the refrigerator.

note: If you don't like the white pith in your Singing Canary drink, don't put it in here.

I left the turmeric in mine for the added health benefits. You could omit it if you'd just like

a nice lemon pudding (but it wouldn't be the eye-opening canary yellow).

Enjoy!! Let me know what you think.

Creamy Morning Rice - E

   I think best in 'Think Tank' situations. You know, somebody throws out an idea and you take it one step further. Then they take it another step, you add to that idea...... It could go on forever. Or until your both satisfied with the results. That is how this recipe was born. 

    My lovely aunt and I were visiting and talking about E breakfasts. 

She said "We could..."

I said "Yeah! and if we add..." 

She said "It would be really good if we threw in some..."

This was the end result of ONE of those sessions (we've had a few of those!). We both loved it and were pretty impressed with ourselves. If I do say so myself (and I do)!

You can eat this hot or cold. I think if you chill this it would be a decent rice pudding (you could also sneak in a few raisins, I won't look) 

Creamy Morning Rice - E

3/4 cup of cooked Brown Rice, pulsed slightly in blender

(this is a good way to use up leftover brown rice)

1/4 tsp of Cinnamon

1/2 tsp of Vanilla

1/2 cup of Unsweetened Almond Milk

2 Egg Whites

Sweetener, to taste

1 tsp of Butter or Coconut Oil

Add first five ingredients to a small saucepan. Cook over 

medium heat until it thickens to desired consistency, whisking often.

Remove from heat and add butter or coconut oil and sweetener.

You can enjoy it just the way it is or try some add ins!

1/4 cup of Berries (either while cooking or after)

Slim Belly Jelly (stirred in after cooking)

Maple Extract (to taste)

Strawberry Shortcake for Breakfast - E or FP

I love strawberry shortcake! I found a good deal on Strawberries! I've been trying to come up with more E meals! Combine all three and what do you get....?

 Strawberry Shortcake for Breakfast!!

E or FP*

1 Egg White

3 Tbsp of Ground Oats

1/4 tsp of Baking Powder

Dash of Vanilla

Dash of Cinnamon (optional)

1/2 tsp of Butter

Sweetener, to taste

(I usually use 3 'doonks' of Stevia Extract Powder)

Sliced Strawberries, to taste

Unsweetened Almond Milk or Fat Free Reddi Whip

Mix all ingredients, except strawberries and almond milk or reddi whip, in a mug or glass bowl. 

Microwave for about 45 - 60 seconds.

Top with berries and milk. Enjoy!

* If you only eat one recipe I think it's fuel pull. If I want an E, I double the recipe to beef up the carbs so it qualifies for an E.

Coconut Custard Pie - S

Coconut Custard Pie

1 cup of Unsweetened Coconut

4 Eggs

1/2 tsp of Salt

1 can of Full Fat Coconut Milk

(or 1 3/4 cup of milk of choice)

*1/4 cup of Xylitol

1/2 tsp of Coconut Extract, optional

Sweeten coconut to taste and toast in a pie pan in oven at 350 degrees for about 4 minutes, stirring several times. It will not be fully toasted.

In blender add 1/2 of the toasted coconut and all the rest of the ingredients. Blend on low for a few minutes.

Pour into a buttered pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the other half of the coconut on top and finish baking, about 10 more minutes.

If you'd like serve with a few frozen berries. After I took this picture, I smashed them with my fork and put them on top of the pie. Oh My Word! Did that ever take it to another level!

Enjoy!

* You may need more sweetener

Special Occasion Coconut Cake - S

I wanted a coconut cake last year for Easter. It was my first holiday on THM and I knew I would NEED a good THM dessert to keep me from diving for the other Easter goodies we were having. It worked! I'll be making it again this year.

Special Occasion Coconut Cake - S

1 recipe of the Special Occasion Chocolate Cake

recipe from the Trim Healthy Mama Book

(page 384)

omit the cocoa powder

1-2 tsp of Coconut Extract, optional

Mix and Bake cake as directed (remember to omit the cocoa powder!)

I baked mine in two 8'' round cake pans.

1 recipe of Icing for Cake Serene's Superfood Option

(page 385)

omit the cocoa powder

Instead of using stevia extract powder, I would use xylitol or erythritol for 

the sweetener, because you're going to need a little more powder verses 

liquid ingredients to achieve a better icing consistency.

(or you could try powdering a little unsweetened coconut to equal 1/2 cup

I think this would work great.)

Spread a little icing between layers before Icing cake.

1 cup of Unsweetened Coconut

(more or less)

Sweeten with stevia and toast on stove top or in oven.

Press onto side and top of Iced cake.

Low Carb BBQ sauce - FP

6 oz. tomato sauce

1 1/2 c. water

1/4 c. white vinegar

1 Tbs. Liquid Aminos

2 Tbs. Liquid smoke

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1/2 tsp. onion powder

1 tsp. salt

1/2 tsp. pepper

1 tsp. dry mustard

1 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. chili powder

1/2  tsp. celery seed

1/2 tsp. glucomannan

1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper

1/4 tsp. cinnamon

sweetener to taste

Combine all dry ingredients, then whisk everything together in small saucepan. Cover and simmer for 30 - 60 minutes. Allow to cool then add sweetener, to taste. Makes 1 pint.

  It seems like a lot of work for only one pint, however it is just as easy to double the batch and make a quart.

   To make it easier to whip up a batch you could make a master mix of the dry ingredients and keep on hand.

If you make this, please comment how it worked for you! Thanks!

Craisins and Trail Mix -S

    I love trail mix...if it has chocolate! No chocolate, no trail mix, I always say. I also love craisins. They now sell a reduced sugar variety, it only has 2 carbs less than the full sugar variety??? Have you ever read the nutritional info on one of those bags?! Enough to give you a heart attack! There's like 32 carbs in a single serving! NOT a health food! But... they are good.

    I found a very helpful link that taught me how to make my own. We thought they turned out great. I decided to try another method because it was easier. That batch was okay, but the first method was tastier. From now on I'm doing the first method.

    Here is the link for the dried cranberries.

A Few Tips from My Experience

I used xylitol for my sweetener.

After mine had cooked for amount specified, I drained the rest of the juice off the berries with a very fine colander.

I started to make mine in the oven but ran into logistical problems, so I just threw them into our dehydrator.
Worked like a charm

If you're planning to have your craisins last awhile, I recommend storing them in the freezer as it's apparently very difficult to fully dry cranberries.

Trail Mix - S

2 cups of Almonds

1 cup of Pecans

1 cup of Walnuts

1 1/2 cups of Craisins (see above)

1/2 cup of 85% Dark Chocolate, chopped

Dump all ingredients into a bowl. Stir. Eat.

(Not in one sitting)

Trail Mix is a very personal food. Everybody has their favorite way of making it.

I was just recently told by my cousin "Trail mix is nothing more than an M&M obstacle course"

I agree (except I don't really eat m&ms anymore)!

Feel free to change/omit any of the above measurements/ingredients.

I don't recommend this for high temperature excursions. 

If you're going on a road trip and are able to keep it in a cooler, go for it. 

Otherwise, big chocolate mess!

FYI - Reportedly, there is some form of low carb off brand m&ms. They're not purist and I've never bothered to look for them, but if you're interested, you could look around.

Drop me a comment and let me know what you think!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - S

EDITED TO ADD:  Blackstrap Molasses  

 This is my first success with oat fiber. In theory, I love the stuff. Low carb, low fat, high fiber, what's not to love?  Umm..., the taste (like cardboard), and how difficult it is to use in recipes. If it is not used carefully, it also resembles cardboard in texture.

    I LOVE cookie dough! This is one of my major weaknesses. At work (food service) I have to constantly repeat to myself "I will not eat raw cookie dough, I will not eat raw cookie dough" I have found nothing to compare and fix this void in my life...UNTIL NOW!!

    I gave a bite of this to my brother to taste. He said "It looks like cookie dough". Well first hurdle over (it doesn't look like cardboard)! He tasted it and said "It tastes like cookie dough". He said it just like that. Very matter of factly. A perfect reaction! He does not diet. He does not understand the need to rejoice over an achievement like this! He just thinks it tastes like cookie dough.

    I would not try to use this dough for baking purposes. I don't think it would do well. I'll try to make one that will, someday....

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - S

Single Serving Size

2 Tbsp of Almond Flour

1 Tbsp of Oat Fiber

pinch of Baking Soda

pinch of Glucomannan

pinch of salt

1 Tbsp of Xylitol

1/2 Tbsp of Almond Milk

2 tsp of Butter, softened

1/4 tsp of Vanilla Extract

small splash of Almond Extract
fork tines* of Blackstrap Molasses

Chopped 85% Chocolate, to taste

Chopped Nuts of Choice, optional

Put all ingredients into a mug or bowl (I think a mug works better).

Using a fork, mix well. 

This is truly a workout for your arm!

Enjoy!

*This terminology means - dip the tip of your fork tine into molasses. That is the amount you want.

    

Black Bottom Cupcakes - S

One of my favorite pre-THM desserts were those very yummy black bottom cupcakes. My sister decided to make these tonight. My first reaction was "bummer, I can't have that". My second reaction was "Why Not? I bet that's really easy to THMify"

    My second reaction was, happily, more accurate than the first! This recipe was VERY easy to convert. And I thought they tasted great (not that I ate three of them or anything, ahem..)

Black Bottom Cupcakes - S

1 batch of Special Agent Brownie batter

(or whatever you're favorite plan approved chocolate cake/brownie recipe)

4 oz of 1/3 less fat Cream Cheese

2 1/2 Tbsp of Xylitol

1 egg

1 square of 85% dark chocolate, finely chopped

Mix cream cheese, xylitol and egg until well blended.

Stir in chopped chocolate.

Divide brownie batter evenly into 12 cupcakes.

Use about 1 Tbsp of Cream Cheese mixture and drop in the center of unbaked cupcakes.

Bake at 375 for about 15 minutes.

Allow to cool for a few minutes before eating.

Pizza Soup - S

   This is a different name for a favorite family meal. This is one of those dishes that the only people I know that make it, is our family (and the people we've shared it with). You don't walk into a restaurant and ask for this dish. They'll look at you as if you have lost your mind. The original name is not appealing and I'm not going to share it. I don't know where the name came from originally, but they needed to get more creative.

    Thanks to Aunt Elle, who shared with me how she made this THM. I had tried a different version with cauliflower, but I think this one is more true to form. Without further adieu...

Pizza Soup - S

1 can (14.5 oz) of Pizza Sauce*

1/2 cup of Water

1 bag of Shirataki Noodles, drained, rinsed, and very finely chopped**

1 cup of frozen, shredded, or crumbled Cheese (colby, longhorn, jack, pepperjack, etc)

diced pepperoni, optional

Put first three ingredients in a large (about 7 cup) microwaveable bowl.

Microwave about 5 minutes or until heated very thoroughly.

Add cheese and stir well. If it didn't melt to you satisfaction, return 

to microwave and heat a few more minutes (about two).

Eat it and Love it!

*I didn't have pizza sauce. Well I did, but I didn't feel like opening a gallon can for this one soup.

I just used a can of diced tomatoes, that I had run through my blender cup to remove the large chunks of tomato and added about 1 1/2 tsp of Italian Seasoning.

**You could also make this with cauliflower instead of  shiratake noodles. 

On stovetop, bring pizza sauce and water to a boil. Add tiny pieces of frozen cauliflower.

Cook until the cauliflower is one step away from completely mushy. 

Remove from heat and add cheese. Stir well to incorporate cheese.

It's best if you serve this with another protein source as a side. Not necessary, but would help the soup 'last longer'. If served with more protein, this soup serves 2.

Let me know what you think of it!!

A Very THM Valentines! - S

    Valentine's Day is a very unique holiday. Some people only celebrate with their sweetheart. Some people think it should be celebrated with all the Ladies in their life. Some think all the single ladies should have a special day together. And still others think it's a day to show love to EVERYBODY they know. Due to this, Valentine's day is sort of a free for all, tradition-wise.

So.... I'm just going to throw out random ideas/recipes and ya'll can put them together however you like!

Breakfast Ideas

                            Strawberry Stuffed French Toast

or you could consider something a little different and have

Stuffed French Toast Omelettes

  If you're looking for something a little more traditional you could try a low carb pancake option like this one from Gwen's Nest and top it with Whipped Cream and Strawberries/Raspberries

Low Carb Pancakes

(If you're talented, you could make them in a heart shape! I've never done this, I don't think I'm that talented)




Appetizer Ideas

You could make this plan approved Bruschetta recipe

Fresh Bruschetta   Instead of using bread, make Joseph's Crackers and use a cookie cutter to shape them into (hearts! How Cute!

You could also make this dip...

Special Occasion Salmon Stackers

 * you could also use ham, bacon, or chicken, if you're so inclined*

Mix desired amount of cream cheese with herbs of choice

(some ideas- rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning, liquid aminos)

Spread cream cheese on Joseph's Crackers (these could also be hearts as described above)

Layer sliced tomato on top of cream cheese mixture.

Layer sliced onion on top of tomatoes.(optional)

Layer smoked salmon on top of onion.

*Alternately, you could finely chop the tomatoes and onion, use canned salmon, and 

mix all ingredients with the cream cheese, then spread on crackers. Not as fancy, but easier*

If you're so inclined... you could take shrimp and arrange them in hearts and put a little homemade cocktail* sauce in the center *so cute*

*For the cocktail sauce you can use THIS basic recipe. 

Substitute the ketchup with THIS THM approved recipe.

Soup

 You could make the Just Like Campbell's Tomato soup from the Trim Healthy Mama Book. It's Red!

Entree

Salmon is pink! If you 're not in the mood for steak - which is a little pink in the center ;), try salmon! There are quite a few salmon recipes in the above mentioned book! If you don't have the book, do an internet search. I'm sure there are a few good one out there! (If you're not opposed to pork, ham is also pink!) 

Now, the most important part of the Valentine's Dinner (for me, at least)

Dessert!

You could try the traditional

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

*some of them I rolled in the Coconut Caramel Crunch from Gwen's Nest*

Or you could try

No Bake Cheesecake

 *I made it in individual cups and topped with berries for a nicer presentation*

For a lighter chocolate dessert try 

Chocolate Mousse

8 oz Heavy Whipping Cream

6 Tbsp of Cocoa Powder

1 Tbsp of Vanilla

4 Tbsp of Xylitol

Whip all ingredients until it's a light, whipped consistency. 

Top with sliced berries, if desired. 

However you choose to celebrate, We here at The Trim Recipe Blog wish you a Very Happy Valentine's Day!

Chocolate Covered Strawberries - S

Here's a quick Valentine's Dessert for you. Hope you enjoy!

* I rolled some of these in the Coconut Caramel Crunch recipe from Gwen's Nest*

Chocolate Covered Strawberries - S

1 batch of My Skinny Chocolate

Strawberries, washed, dried and chilled in fridge

The secret to this is getting the chocolate to the right consistency for dipping.

I mix up the chocolate and set it in the freezer for 1 minute. 

(I set the timer, because in one short minute, I can forget all about my purpose in life and wander away chasing a stray butterfly)

This freezes fast so you want to be careful.

After one minute,  stir the chocolate and return to freezer. 

Repeat until desired consistency. 

If you get it too thick or too hard, melt it and start the process over!

When you're chocolate is how you want it, dip berries in one at a time and place on wax paper

to set up (I just learned the wax coated paper plates work REALLY well for this, too!). 

Stick in the freezer for a few moments.

ENJOY!

A Frosting/Icing Collection - S

Does anybody know what the difference between icing and frosting is? I'm not really sure there is a difference. So I just use whichever name sound better at the time.

    Nevertheless, it doesn't matter what we call it. I'm just happy we have THM versions to call something.
Here is a collection of frostings I have accumulated over the past year or so. I think it's a fairly complete collection.

Whipped Cream

This makes a nice white icing. You can use this on most cakes in place of buttercream icing.

Chocolate Icing

8 oz Heavy Whipping Cream

6 Tbsp of Cocoa Powder

1 Tbsp of Vanilla

4 Tbsp of Xylitol

Whip all ingredients until it makes a nice icing consistency. 

If you whip it longer, you can put a little in a dish, top with sliced

berries, and eat it with a spoon. We call this Chocolate Mousse

Cream Cheese Icing

2 Tbsp of Softened Butter

2 Tbsp of Browned Butter*

1/2 cup of Cream Cheese

4 Tbsp of Powdered Xylitol

1 tsp of Vanilla Extract

1/2 tsp of pumpkin pie spice, optional

Whip both butters and the cream cheese together until well mixed. Add xylitol, vanilla, and pumpkin pie spice. Whip until fluffy (won't be as fluffy as the  real fake  thing) 

If you don't want to bother browning butter, don't. Just use a total of 4 tbsp of butter.

If your making something that won't blend well with pumpkin pie spice, don't add it. 

Peanut Butter Icing

4 Tbsp of Peanut Butter
8 Tbsp of Heavy Cream
Sweetener to taste

Whip all ingredients in an electric mixer until it 'fluffs' up.


Mocha Cream Frosting

1 cup of Heavy Cream
1 tsp of Instant Coffee
1/3 cup of Xyltol
1/4 cup of Cocoa Powder

Mix heavy cream and instant coffee in an electric mixer bowl. Stir slowly to help the coffee dissolve.
Add xylitol and cocoa powder and whip to a frosting consistency.

Coconut Whipped Cream

This recipe is from the Trim Healthy Mama Book. I can't type it here due to copyright laws, but I wanted to mention it here because it fits the catagory well.



Is there any type of icing/frosting I missed? Leave me a comment and maybe I can come up with something! 

Stuffed French Toast Omelettes - S

This interesting little recipe started from one I came across on lowcarbfriends.com. I THMified it and followed the rest of the instructions. They were surprisingly good! Then I had an idea...Success!

Remember... this recipe is not just for breakfast. It would also make a nice quick snack or dessert!

Stuffed French Toast Omelettes -S

2 large eggs
1 Tbsp of Truvia
2 Tbsp of heavy cream
2 tsp cinnamon 
1/2 tsp maple extract 

(I used Frontier Brand) 
Butter, for frying

Whisk all ingredients (except butter) in a bowl. 

Pour into a hot pan as if you were making an omelette
(which you are).

Instead of filling with savory ingredients, 

spread some Cream Cheese or Whipped Cream and Strawberry Topping on half and flip the other side of the egg on top (omelette style).
