I really love soup…I especially love soup when it comes together quickly, like this chili does!
If you use canned black black beans, or cook them from dry and have them ready to go, this is the ultimate 30 minute or less meal for a busy night.

Sometimes you just need a single-serve, low-carb sweet treat that you can make use of anything in your pantry with, right?
That is why this is called a “Kit & Caboodle” Cookie…We’ve got everything but the kitchen sink in here!

Stevia to taste from here or here, I use 1/4 teaspoon
Method
Mix all dry ingredients together, and then add all wet ingredients. Spread onto a parchment lined baking sheet, at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Allowing the cookie to cool before picking up will help it to hold its shape and not fall apart.
Do you need an easy low-carb, and low-fat, loaf of bread, and sometimes you just can’t wait to order the mix, or you run out at the last minute? Yeah, me too!
I’ve been seeing a lot of posts with Trim Healthy women asking for a DIY version of our favorite easy bread mix, and so I went to my kitchen to begin testing, because I love a good baking challenge these days.
It took a few tries, but it totally paid off!
I made this bread mix from a similar ingredient profile to that of the Trim Healthy version, so this loaf has a similar fuel source and ALL the details are below! Man, I LOVE this lifestyle!

Mix all dry ingredients together very well. This can be mixed in advance for even faster, and more convenient bread-like baking. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Put 1 1/3 Cup egg whites and 3/4 cup cool water into a blender and have it running on a low setting while you pour the dry ingredients into it. Let it run for an additional 30 seconds on low, and then pour it into a prepared loaf pan. I prepared mine with parchment paper to make it come out cleanly for the cooling process.
Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 1 hour in a preheated oven. Turn the oven off once the timer goes off, without opening the oven door, and allow it to sit in the oven for an additional 20 minutes while the temperature comes down some. Then, remove it from the oven, and the pan (parchment makes this part a SO EASY) and allow to cool on a cooling rack, completely before cutting into it.
** I got 18 slices, approximately 1/4in thick off of this loaf. 1/12th of this recipe is right at the limit for fat in a fuel pull meal on the Trim Healthy Lifestyle plan, so keep that in mind when you are using this in an E or FP setting. **
I have an Easier Easy Bread recipe too if you are out of egg whites, or don’t enjoy keeping them around.

I made it easier, because it is completely shelf stable, AND only uses WATER as the liquid. How much easier could it get, right?

Do you have some Gluten Free Sourdough Discard that you need to use up?
Are you craving cake?
Did you know that sourdough and cake could be in the same sentence?
Go ahead and make this delicious chocolate cake that I created just so I would have a place to use all that amazing discard for my family, from those baking days that my timing is just off and I miss my baking window.
Blend water, butter and 2 eggs in a blender until smooth and frothy. Add all other ingredients and blend until glossy and smooth. Pour into an 8×8 baking dish, and Bake at 350 for 30-35 min.
**This recipe serves 8 to keep the carb count down so that this can fall into an S setting on the Trim Heathy Plan. If you have a larger piece you will end up having a crossover.**
Do you love a little Ethiopian flatbread, but need an easier, truly gluten free, and faster way to make it? Oh GOOD, me too!
This recipe relies on the fact that you already have a Gluten Free Sourdough Starter, but if you don’t you can find one here or join the waiting list to be notified of my next Gluten Free Sourdough Workshop.

Mix all the ingredients for the sponge together well, and place in a safe spot for 7 hours or overnight. Make sure this is covered by a light cloth.
Once 7 hours has passed, or overnight, you can make the injera. Mix the sponge with a spoon, throughly. Use a heated, non-stick, pan like this you will begin cooking the flatbreads by pouring 1/4 Cup of the sponge batter (which will be very thin) into the pan and swirling it around until the bottom is covered.
Do this quickly and don’t have the pan so hot that it will burn, so start at below “medium” and adjust from there. Once the bottom of the pan is covered, set it on the burner and cover with the lid and allow to to cook.
You will see lots of bubbles forming on the top and you will cook it on ONLY this one side until the top is dry to the touch. Use a spatula to remove from the heat and set on a plate. Continue this process until all the batter is cooked.
Place all ingredients into the blender, here is the one I used, and blend on high until it is creamy and emulsified.
If you follow the Trim Healthy Plan, you can have up to 1/2 Cup of this in a Fuel Pull setting, as written. 1/4 Cup in a sipper.
***If you cannot tolerate sunflower seeds, you can use any nut or seed butter in place of this ingredient for a crazy easy DIY dairy free milk recipe. Some ideas include tahini, hemp butter, pumpkin seed butter, almond butter, even peanut butter. The final 2 options(almond and peanut butter) would, obviously, NOT be nut free, so use them at your own discretion. And, you would need to calculate the fat for your new variety of butter, to see how it fits into your Trim Healthy Plan. If you cannot tolerate sunflower lecithin, you can leave it out, you will just need to shake it up before you use it.***
When we went gluten and dairy free it was amazing what foods were full of both. I read every label, and many times came up empty on our typical foods due to the now taboo ingredients in them or cross-contamination.
One of these was canned tomato soups.
Thanks to our new Lifestyle plan we had an option, but I tweaked it and made it even easier to mix and serve, and we like the extra texture from the crushed tomatoes.

water to thin, 1/2 Cup at a time, until it is the thickness you desire.
We get most of our bulk spices from here, and if you are interested in looking at any of the other products we use, you can find them here.
Method
Put all ingredients in a medium stock pot and add water to thin it out to the consistency you desire, and heat until a temperature that you enjoy, or allow to simmer on low for 30-60 minutes to allow the flavors to mix together.
***This a fuel pull addition to a meal on the Trim Healthy Plan, but it does need to be paired with a significant protein source like lean chicken breast or a protein drink. You can also add it to an E or S meal to help fill in.***
I became a nursing mama for the 7th time in 2020. And, thanks to Trim healthy mama I feel that this has been one of my best post partum periods.
I have not needed a whole lot of support with teas or anything else, no extra pumping, I just eat lovely God-made foods that have helped my youngest beauty thrive while I have released weight consistently.
I have discovered two ingredients that have really kicked my production up, without me even trying to, consistently. Duo Greens powder and Oatmeal in any form.
So, I made these to help support a mama on the go, or those middle of the night nursing sessions that leave you floundering for something to stuff in your mouth so you can get back to sleep when the baby does.

Ingredients:
3 Tablespoons Oat Flour, we grind certified gluten free oats from here or buy it here.
1 Tablespoon Unsweetened Applesauce, water will not work here unless you add it by the teaspoon.
Method:
I mix all the dry ingredients together and then add the Applesauce. Mix it until it comes together with no dry powder, and you can leave it in the bowl and eat it straight or make into a bar/balls.
***This is a single serve addition to an E meal or snack on the Trim Healthy Mama Plan. Please add some berries or a half a banana to this to round out your meal***
Because we travel, at least monthly if not more often, 1 1/2-2 hours to get our groceries we have discovered some really tasty on-plan options to grab at the grocery store. Did you know the grocery store is the ultimate fast-food restaurant? It’s true!
One thing in particular is an almond-based dip at Walmart with a very descriptive name outlining a common name for female canines. Apt description, but it makes me cringe when I post the pictures on my THM Journey App because I don’t say the word in my own home, as a descriptor.
I had to try and recreate it, if only to be able to stop posting the picture of the title from the grocery store version, right? According to my husband, and spicy-food-loving second son, I nailed it in the flavor department!
