We are a chips and salsa family. Chips and salsa are our snack of choice. Our go to. But sometimes we need to change it up and add a little variety. That's where we bring in our homemade salsa made with cabbage. We had this salsa at a restaurant and my mom figured out all the ingredients and now we have it perfected. We love this salsa! The best … [Read more...]

I have to admit I am not a fan of lasagna or spaghetti or anything of the like, but my husband and most of my kids are. The thing I do love about those dishes though, is that they are frugal meals and can feed lots of mouths, however, lasagna can take a bit of time and forethought to prepare for dinner. I usually loose track of time and pretty soon … [Read more...]

This week seemed to go a little slower than the last couple weeks. I love this time of year as all of our extra activities are coming to a close for the summer and camping is right around the corner.

I try to find quick, healthy go to meals because inevitably (more often than not) the day gets away from me and poof it is dinner time again. I am hoping that this recipe roundup review … [Read more...]

I am always trying new recipes! Seriously, I probably try at least 3 new recipes most weeks. Everything ranging from main dishes to desserts. It wasn't until I started following the Trim Healthy Mama eating lifestyle that I became much more picky on the recipes I was trying out simply because of waste. I have to admit we have eaten some pretty … [Read more...]

When I started my Trim Healthy Mama journey there were some recipes I just would not let go of. One of those was Cheeseburger soup. The yummy comfort food is such a tasty treat to my taste buds. I was on a mission to make it THM friendly and the result, in my opinion, is even better than the original! This last week I have made it twice three … [Read more...]
