Strawberry Parfait with Slim Belly Jelly and Crunchy Granola

Every time I say the word Parfait, I simply must recite the lines from Donkey on Shriek... "Everybody likes Parfaits!"

This is wonderful as a breakfast or dessert, or snack. Just alter how much granola you use. I start by a couple large dollops of greek yogurt. To that I'll had a half of scoop of Swanson's Protein powder, a teaspoon of vanilla and sweetener of choice. (Mine is a couple Tablespoons of ground up erythritol and a dash of stevia.) Give it a good stir. It should be just barely sweet, because your Slim Belly Jelly will give it the sweetness you'll need to complete it.

My secret to making Slim Belly Jelly (from the THM book):

When I grind my Erythritol in my Vitamix, there is always a nice, heavy, residue of powdered sweetness. I can't get it all into my container. So here's what I do to harvest every last drop. I leave a bag of frozen strawberries in the frig to defrost. (Usually over night) After grinding my erythritol, and scraping all I can into my container, I pour the defrosted strawberries into the container with a some stevia, lemon juice and glucci. I give it a whirl and there you have it. Slim Belly Jelly that the THM sisters invented and no waste on your erythritol. Yah!

Add a few sprinkles of your crunchy granola for a fuel pull or a lot for an E meal.

Snickers Smoothie

ONE WORD.... Snickers! Yep! Makes your mouth and mind BUZZZZZZZZ ! This recipe was graciously shared to me by a trim healthy mama. I am always skeptical when something says 'healthy' and has a name brand tagged on it. Like brownies made with cottage cheese. Or how about 'Doritos' kale chips! C+C Music Factory comes to mind with "Things that make you go hmmmmmm!" BUT................. This really has a Snickers-ish flare to it. And- I love it. Go all out on your extract. I have friends that get theirs at Walmart, but quality verses quantity wins me over. You usually have to use more of the cheap stuff to get that punch of flavor. My favorite is Bakto . The other spotlight in this Snickers Shake is Glucomannan. You can read its wonderful qualities here. Snickers Smoothie Into your favorite blender add the following: 1 cup of Unsweetened Almond milk (or if you're i...

My allergic reaction to jalapeños

****** If you are having an intense burning from cutting jalapeños and found this blog on the web, scroll to the bottom. I have labeled what you need to do!!! It was Saturday afternoon. I had a wonderfully planned party at my house for 6pm. I diligently cleaned all day. I had let my house go, so a deep clean was in order. I was saving all my cooking for the last hour of the party so everything would be warm. It was 5pm and I was ready to cook. Being 6 months pregnant, the breaking back work of cleaning had almost done me in, but it was worth it. The house looked great. I planned to make a few dishes, but my star dish was 'Jalapeno Poppers'. I had them in restaurants in the past, but never made them. I got the recipe off a Facebook page. She hand typed it (no blog or star winning website) so it was simple instructions. I destemmed, cut them length wise and deseeded 15-20 jalapenos. Followed the rest of the instructions and into the oven they went. I de...

NO BAKE....Pumpkin Bites {S}

I had a small amount of canned pumpkin left in my frig and created these on a whim. Not to build them up too much, but they remind me of those donut holes you buy in a box. I'm gonna steal the THM saying and say... Own It!! Make this your own. I just made these on the fly, but you can certainly put whatever spin you want on them! I love how the sisters encourage us to be our own chefs! Get creative & Make it work NO BAKE....Pumpkin Bites {S}: 1 c baking b lend (homemade or THM brand) 1/2 c pure can pumpkin 1 tsp vanilla Splash caramel extract *optional, if you don't have it's okay* Pinch of salt 1 Tb almond butter 1/2-1 Tb pumpkin pie spice, depending how spicy you like it 1 Tb coconut oil Sweetener *the amount is gonna be questionable. There are so many different kinds out there. I make my own which probably can be compared to the Gentle Sweet. I did about 1/3 cup but dumped more in making it like 1/2 cup...BUT...I like super duper sweet stuff. Just taste as yo...
