How to Make a Recipe THM Friendly
After starting my Trim Healthy Mama journey I wanted to figure out how to make a recipe I found fit on plan. I have seen that it is a question that many people have, in the Facebook groups there are always plenty of links and videos of off plan food that someone is asking how […]
Margherita Gnocchi
Each month Hubby and I get together with another couple to have a dinner date night. We all get in the kitchen cook together and enjoy delicious food and good company. In March we made this Margarita Gnocchi and it turned out amazing and I just had to share it with you. When any food […]

At my house, we are not big cabbage fans but we love to make corned beef. In Ireland, the typical dish included pork and potatoes. They preferred cut was an Irish bacon, […]
A Foodie in Austin
WOW! That is all I can say after a weekend in Austin. You could stay there a week and eat all the time and still not hit all the recommended restaurants. We went down with another couple for Hubby’s birthday. Our first day we walked South Congress and visited some very interesting shops. For lunch, we […]

I have not been prepared this week with posts or even social media. Which is sad because it was a goal for this year to stay on top of and even ahead here. But I get busy and then lazy and decide to just watch TV. I do have an excuse for last weekend, though, […]
