I certainly can’t take credit for this refreshing, invigorating drink, but I have been making countless jars of it, and drinking it down every day since learning about it last week. along with my {seemingly} very thirsty children. *****I have edited this to say that perhaps I am a bit “crunchy” or have weird taste buds .… Continue Reading

Food Links to Love!
As promised last week, here are a few of the foods that our Trim Healthy Mama Book Club consumed in our times together! Some day I’d love to do my own post on these muffins and the chicken Ceasar wraps, but until then {and in case I don’t get to it!}, some of you have been asking… Continue Reading
Shrimp Pad Thai ~ The Trim & Healthy Way
As promised, here is the Pad Thai recipe! If you want a reeeeally easy, but not quite as authentic pad thai taste, you can always buy one of those seasoning packs at the grocery store. That’s how I and my first serving of konjac noodles fell in love. But you do have to watch out… Continue Reading

I might have to watch out for that! I feel pretty good most… Continue Reading

When doing a short-term cleanse or special diet, or even in making life-long choices toward healthier eating, it’s always tempting to focus on what you may not have rather than the array of delightful options that you may eat. Part of it is habit. We are so used to eating that pastry at breakfast, or the… Continue Reading
