First let me say this, I am in love with the new THM baking blend.   It is so versatile that its unreal!  It was a little splurge for me to buy it when I did, so I have been very picky as to what I use it for.   By far it has been the best thing for this gluten free mom! A few days ago, I made a crust using the THM baking blend for a no bake cheesecake.  I feel in love with the crust. (Who doesn’t love pie crust?!?) The pie crust kind of tasted like a shortbread cookie to me.  I wanted to recreate all that yumminess in cookie form.  This recipe is so simple to make.  It takes just a minute or two to mix together in a food processor.  If you don’t own one, no problem!  Just let your butter soften and mix! The best part of this recipe is it only uses 4 ingredients… THM baking blend , THM sweet blend , butter, and vanilla.  After its mixed, just roll and let chill in the fridge for two hours.  Cut and bake.    * Just a reminder, the THM sweet blend is very sweet.  If you are u

Who doesn’t love a good fried veggie at one point or another.  While shopping at my local Aldi’s yesterday, I saw that mushrooms were on sale. A thought came to me… Fried mushrooms with ranch sound good.  I bought a few packages.  Today I whipped some up along with some fried Zucchini.   I used the THM baking blend as my coating.  I was worried about how my family would like them. They devoured them!  I had to fight them for a few… LOL. The THM baking blend fries up so crispy.. its so delicious.  You can use this batter and coating on just about any fried veggie or meat dish you want.  Its so versatile.       Fried Mushrooms   (THM S )   1 package of whole mushrooms sliced in half if huge 3 to 4 eggs 3 squirts of Louisiana Hot sauce  (more if you like your food spicy) 1 1/2 cups of THM Baking Blend salt, pepper to taste 2 teaspoons of Cajun seasonings Coconut oil for frying   For the batter:  scramble your eggs.  add Louisiana hot sauce, salt, pepper, and on tablesp

Brownies are my weakness!  I can eat these babies once a day… I am not kidding you!  They make a great snack at work… so that’s the excuse I use when I am making me a batch . These are very easy to make and use my baking blend .  For the Trim Healthy Mama these are a S snack.   Fudge Brownies 1 cup baking blend 3 tablespoon coco powder 1/2 stick butter melted 3 teaspoons of vanilla 1/4 cup of THM sweet blend   or 1/2 cup of homemade sweet blend 1 teaspoon baking powder 4 whole eggs Optional : chopped nuts and plan approved chocolate chips     Pre Heat oven to 325.  Combine all the dry ingredients, give a stir or two.  Add your melted butter and vanilla. Stir your eggs. Add your nuts and chocolate chips if desired.   The batter will be thick!  Pour into a 8x8 pan and bake for 15 mins.  Don’t over bake!  Let sit for a few minutes before you cut.    * Note--  THM sweet blend is supper sweet  compared  to my homemade sweet blend.  You might need to adjust the sweetness
