  If you have been on Trim Healthy Mama for any length of time, you know that the Fuel Cycle can be very challenging. When I did my first Fuel Cycle, I was beyond worried about what if I was doing my deep S meals right. That being said, I know that many ladies have trouble finding deep S recipes.  I have decided to post some of my favorite Deep S recipes each week to help all my fellow FCers.  Today’s recipe is a simple Deep S.   Mexi- Cab Skillet Meal       All you need is : 2 lbs. ground meat 1 head of cabbage 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon chili powder (less if you don’t like spicy food) 1/2 onion powder 1/2 garlic powder salt and pepper to taste 1 tablespoon of coconut oil   Brown ground meat, drain.  Add your seasonings with a little water, simmer for 5 mins. Sautee your sliced cabbage in coconut oil, cook until cabbage is cooked. Toss cabbage and ground meat together and serve.   Easy, Simple meal you will...

This recipe reminds me of the Cracker pudding(without the crackers) my grandmother use to make.     Deep S Cinnamon Vanilla Pudding   1 egg yoke 1 cup almond milk 3 teaspoons of sweet blend (you might use less depending on how sweet you like things.) 1/2 teaspoon gluccie 1 teaspoon vanilla sprinkle of cinnamon (to your taste) In a sauce pan, whisk almond milk and egg yoke.. Add in your sweet blend…  turn heat to med heat. Whisk in gluccie.. keep whisking until it thickens up. (it took me around 5 mins... all together for this recipe) After it begins to thicken.. remove from heat and whisk in vanilla and cinnamon... serve warm or cool. Enjoy!   Shelby

For Mother’s day, my husband gave me a new toy. I am in love with it! Haha… Yes it’s the little things that bring my joy!   For those of you who might not know what this is … it’s a Brother’s embroidery machine. Needless to say.. I have been enjoying my sewing room.   I have found my happy place when I am creating with this thing..   Check out a few of my creations:   For our July travels I made some personalized neck pillows.       A set of towels for a friend.     Something for my sewing room.. (it still needs its frame)   And lastly…. Some gifts for a friend!                                         Yes, Its been happiness!   Shelby

I have been so very busy lately, that I have just not had time to sit here and write…   Sorry About that!   Since we are on our third week of our school year, I started thinking back to 8 years ago when our Homeschooling Adventure started.   Kalyn was in the 2nd grade, Janelle 6th…. time has flown by! Kalyn is now in the 8th  grade and Janelle will be graduating this year!   I remember those early  not being able to get things done around the house during those school hours, because I was needed to teach. Now, I am not that needed… and to be honest….  I miss those early days!     My girls already know the routine.  They don’t really need to be reminded all that much anymore… To be completely honest… I feel a little left out! HaHa!   This Mama is dealing with some growing pains!   My girls have turned into independent learners… that was the point I was trying to teach them from the beginning.   I am th...

Every year, our church likes to give a little something to our  Mothers. I always find myself wracking my mind for a gift idea. Some mom’s like candies, some like candles, some like books… etc.. This year I decided to make them.. Here are some pictures of the finished gifts…                 Hope they will like them. Shelby

  Sometimes YOU just have to do something SELFISH! REALLY SELFISH…. like lock yourself in your room… and make something for yourself  . I have a Pinterest board labeled SELFISH SEWING. Its what the label says… selfish stuff for me, myself and I. I loved this lunch bag that I came across a few years ago. (Yes its been pinned for that long! ) I finally decided to do it!  Its very simple, easy to construct, with great instructions.     My fabric lunch bag!   The tutorial can be found here .   This project took just a morning to complete.  Now, I off to do something not so selfish! Like continuing my girls education… Happy Homeschooling!   Shelby

I can not believe a year has passed since I began Trim Healthy Mamma. As I looked at the pictures of me, I can not believe the change. This Picture was me a few months before I started… Wow!   I remember the feeling at a loss of what to do?  I knew I needed to do something to loose weight, and gain my health back. I remember asking my husband if we could afford Weight Watchers…I did not know if I could do it really.  I had tried other things to loose weight, but I would get frustrated after a few weeks and give up. When I saw a facebook post from a friend talking about Trim Healthy Mamma, I knew I needed to see what It was about. I can tell you this, buying THM was money well spent!   It has paid for itself over and over again.   This journey to becoming a healthier me has been fun!   I love the way I am feeling these days… Yesterday I walked two miles without realizing it! A year ago, I would not have been able to walk a half of mile without ...
