School starts this week! I think we are ready the bigs aren’t but at least we have all the supplies, clothes, shoes, socks, etc ready. And so it begins….. Recently I’ve come across the Trim Healthy Mama lifestyle of eating, and it makes so much sense! I’ve been doing the eating plan (not perfectly) for about 3 weeks and I am down about 10lbs (many more to go) but it’s doable. Basically I have cut sugar and processed carbs out of my diet and replaced them with healthy stevia based sweeteners with low glycemic index and healthy slow burning carbs and fats too. Not much is “off” plan or can’t be tweaked to be eaten at home or in a restaurant even. I still need food and flexibility in my life. I can’t wait to share more with you guys on this. It’s been a real eye opener for me. I have listed below some THM mama recipe and don’t they look dang good??
Here’s what caught my eye this week and what I’m reading.
- My ice cream bread recipe was featured on a MSN food article (Have you tried it?)
- This Sheet Pan Shortcake with roasted rhubarb looks about as good as it gets! Wouldn’t you say? (Food52)
- I am currently listening to the Kind is the New Classy, by Candace Cameron Bure, she is so smart, kind and classy. I love her message in this book, we may disagree about politics, religion and etc, but that is no reason not to be kind. I love listening on Audible and if you sign up you get 2 free books
- Most popular recipes on the blog this week, Ice Cream Bread and Friendship casserole, most referred blog post (thanks), and most popular pin on pinterest.
