This is the most amazing corn bread dressing! I mean amazing!  haha!   Look out Thanksgiving… THM corn bread dressing is in the HOUSE!     Corn Bread Dressing serves 4   1 cooked batch of my corn bread 1 small to medium onion, diced small 1 stalk of celery, diced small 1/2 diced bell pepper 1 cup chicken broth cooked and shredded chicken breast ( two will be fine) 3 tablespoons butter salt, pepper and Cajun  Seasonings to taste   Sautee onions, celery,  and bell pepper in butter until tender and veggies are soft. In a bowl, crumble up the corn bread.  Add your chicken. When veggies are cooked add them to your corn bread and chicken.  Mix.. adding a little  broth at a time. You want your mixture to be moist but now swimming in liquid. Add more broth until its to your liking.   Pour in a small 8x8 pan and bake at 375 for 25 to 30 minutes. or until its brown on top. Enjoy and have a wonderful THM Thanksgiving!   Shelby

I love Corn bread!  I have tried and like almond flour corn bread recipes, but my family does not care for it. I have been playing with a “corn” bread recipe. This recipe uses no almond flour! It’s a win for this family. “CORN” Bread 1/4 cup Golden Flax seed meal ( blend in blender for a finer meal, if you have texture issues with flax seed…) 1/2 cup oat fiber 1/4 cup coconut flour 1 teaspoon of sweet blend ( I like a sweet corn bread) 2 eggs 1/2 cup almond milk 2 Tablespoon melted butter dash salt 1 teaspoon baking powder Mix all wet ingredients, add dry… mix well.  You may have to add a little more milk if your mix is not wet enough.  Use your own judgment. Pour into a buttered, or sprayed  square 8x8 pan. Bake at 375 for 15 to 20 mins are until done. Add some butter on top while still hot. This is a great complement to my BEEF STEW . Enjoy!

You might be wondering why  I have a posted this title.  Well, an old song has been playing in my head for the last couple of days and it has made me do some thinking.   So today’s post is just some of my thoughts that I hope will encourage and challenge you in the areas of your life that you might need to be come determined in.   _____________________________________________________________ I am determined to hold out till the end… Jesus is with me on Him I can depend….. _____________________________________________________________   In life if we don’t have a determination to do something's, then we will never accomplish anything!       The following are a few things I am DETERMINED to do:   FOLLOW CHRIST ~  When I came to know Jesus as my personal Savoir at the age of 10, I determined that I was going to serve Him no matter what.  My life was going to be a reflection of Jesus.  It has not always been easy, but I don’t know what I would have done in those times that

My family loves beef stew with corn bread. They really loves it. I don’t know why I waited so long to tweak it.. but to be honest.. I was a little scared of radishes.  I really don’t like them, but in this recipe they are devine…. haha! This recipe is a S or S helper depending on how many carrots you  have in your bowl. Beef Stew 2 lbs stew meat 1 small onion diced 1/2 bell pepper diced 6 carrots cut into chunks 2 bunches of radishes, cut in half 1 bag frozen green beans 1 small can of tomato sauce Cajun Seasonings Salt and pepper 1 teaspoon gluccie to thicken Brown your stew meat in a pot big enough for the rest of the ingredients. After meat is browned add onion, peppers, carrots to pot. Sauté for five minutes. Add radishes, green beans, tomato sauce, and water to cover. Season to taste with Cajun seasonings, salt and pepper. Simmer until veggies are cooked and meat is tender. (around 30 to 45 mins in total) When almost done, whisk in gluccie…   add more if need for desired thickness

* This post was originally published August of 2012* This recipe is FP for all my Trim Healthy Mama friends Lately, I have been abundantly blessed with tomatoes. I love tomatoes, but I can only eat so many of them   in a day... courtesy photo My oldest loves fresh homemade salsa. It was  and is,( since I have been blessed with more tomatoes) a great way to use up all those ripe, fresh  produce. `   I make my salsa with my food processor. I throw all my goodies in it and pulse away! Shelby's Salsa 8 to 10 medium tomatoes 3 jahplono  peppers ( seeds removed) 1/2 bunch of calentro 1/2 of pruple onion 2 teaspoons of lemon juice

This is a recipe I came up with eons ago.    I posted to the Fuel Cycle group  many moons ago..   Now I am going to share it here…     Blackberry Cobbler           Mix 1/2 c blackberries with 3 teaspoons of truvia, erythritol, or homemade sweet blend place in ramekin. For topping: 1 tablespoon coconut flour, 1 tablespoon oat fiber, 1/4 cup egg whites, 1/2 t baking powder, 1/4 t cinnamon, 4 teaspoon of truvia, erythritol, or homemade sweet blend pour over berries. I baked mine for 25 mins at 350.

The weather has turned cold (well cold for South Texas) and its been raining. I mean its rained for a few days straight making this gal cold and in need of warm food. I remember as a child when it got cold my mother would always make a huge pot of veggie soup.  It would last us days… yes days! She would add every kind of veggie she had.  She never had meat in it.. just a little salt pork for flavoring. As kiddos, we would just eat it up with crackers.. it was warm comfort food!   I decided to change this old childhood favorite a little.. making it… Chicken veggie Soup   There’s not really any measurements for this recipe.  You just add what you have! Oh, and before I forget…..  I MADE THIS IN MY CROCKPOT!   This is what I  did: I placed a whole cut up chicken in the crockpot. Added water to fill it up.. Cut up some onion, celery, and a few carrots (2)… added them in. Salt and pepper   Turned on high and let it cook… ( I left the house, went to work.. came home 6

    When I first began my Trim Healthy journey, I found myself always in the kitchen. Now I love to cook and create wonderful recipes, but spending all my time in the kitchen cooking and cleaning is not my idea of fun. But succeeding was not a choice for me. This was something I had to do for my health!  I have found the following tips have helped me succeed… and the best part..  its kept me out of the kitchen all.day.long!     Plan, Plan, Plan Yes, Planning is the key to Success! I have some friends that tease me about my menu planning, and all the planning I do when I am going to be gone. But for me.. it has been the one thing that has helped me stay one plan for all this time. If I know I will be gone.. I plan where or what I will eat. I am known for bringing  food with me anywhere I go.. ha-ha! I might even share with my fellow THM.     Tweak those Family Favorites When I first began, I found out that some of our family favorites were almost on plan. So the twea
