* My weight loss has been a process.  I've been on my weight loss journey since October 2010.  I have not lost this much weight since starting THM.  You can read this post to read more about how I lost the first 100 lbs.

Cinnamon Strudel

Are you familiar with the blog Stacy Makes Cents?  If you aren't, you should be. She shares all kinds of great info and fabulous recipes.  I met Stacy as a co-moderator of the Trim Healthy Mama Facebook page and we have become good friends.  She is funny, generous, smart, AND a great cook and recipe developer.  She has generously allowed me to share this FP recipe for CINNAMON STRUDEL that you are going to love.

You will need:
1/2 of a Joseph's lavash
2 Light Laughing Cow cheese wedges (Swiss)
Truvia
Cinnamon
Coconut oil spray

Spread the Laughing Cow cheese wedges over the lavash and sprinkle with 1 tsp. Truvia. Fold over and cut in half.  Spray the top with coconut oil spray (I get mine at Trader Joe's but my Walmart has started carrying it too.) Then sprinkle with Truvia/cinnamon mixture.  (For the topping I used 1 tsp. erythritol with a shake of KAL stevia extract and a few shakes of cinnamon. I used 1 packet of Truvia for the inside.)

Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes (the first time you make this you might want to start checking at about 10 minutes to make sure they don't burn) and then give it a couple of minutes before devouring or you might burn your tongue....don't ask me how I know.

So go visit Stacy and tell her I sent you.  OH and you need to follow her on Facebook too.  She gives a daily tip of the day (called the daily duh) AND best of all she is doing a 100 Days of Frugal Christmas ideas.

Trim Healthy Breakfast Sandwich

As you may know, I love recipes with oat fiber (read about what oat fiber is here, a recipe for oat fiber bread, strawberry shortcake and chocolate cake).  Today, I am going to share with you a great idea for a fabulous breakfast sandwich. But I won't tell anyone if you have this for lunch or dinner. :)  The idea to make the oat fiber bread into a waffle comes from my friend Stacy...who is absolutely brilliant if you ask me!

This is half of the sandwich.  I had already eaten the first half
when I got the idea to take a picture for this post.

I use the original oat fiber bread recipe and make it in a waffle iron.  One recipe fits my regular, round waffle iron perfectly. (Mine makes a 7" waffle).

While the waffle is cooking, I make a 2-egg omelet cooked in butter,  I add some cheese (use whatever you like. Today I used Romano. I've done this with cheddar and parmesan too.)  Then add a couple of very thin slices of deli ham.

Make your waffle sandwich (you can butter the waffle too if you like) and enjoy!

For an FP option, make an egg white omelet and either omit the cheese or keep it to a T. of parmesan or a light laughing cow cheese and use a slice of very lean meat.

And, YES...I eat the whole thing! :)

Homeschool Mother's Journal

I have really missed posting and linking up to the Homeschool Mother's Journal and hope to do more of that now that the school year is in full swing.

In my life this week… 

Life is busy. Too busy I think and we aren't really doing much outside of going to church and homeschooling. Having a large family just equals busyness I think.

I issued a challenge to my family (and ultimately myself) to make our bread for this entire month.  I have been on a long quest toward healthy eating and it's time they came along.  NO store bought white or wheat bread.  I told my 10 year old that after a month of eating good bread she probably wouldn't even like that "bread" anymore.  We shall see.  I know that I couldn't eat it without gagging. :)

In our homeschool this week…

We had a full week.  My favorite thing we are doing this year is Circle Time.  I just love the time we have together each morning.  We start out reading a chapter of the Bible, then we have a short devotion.  On Mondays I read from Susan Hunt's book, My ABC Bible Verses and the other days we are having a lesson from Polite Moments by Gary Maldaner.  I love both of these.  We also review our verses that we are learning from the ABC book every day.  

We are learning US geography this year so we go over the states we have learned so far with large flashcards I made. We have learned the New England States so far and we are working on the Mid-Atlantic States now too.  I also ask questions from the Trail Guide to US Geography. (The kids work on maps later in the day.)

Other things we are doing in our Circle Time include Greek and Latin roots, Bible trivia, OT39 flashcards and lots of reading aloud.  I can't say enough about how much I LOVE Circle time.

This week we read:

Ruth Heller's Merry-Go-Round (book about nouns)

Verrazano, Explorer of the Atlantic Coast by Ronald Syme

Farmer Boy by Laura Ingalls Wilder (several chapters)

Brendan the Navigator by Jean Fritz

Follow the Dream: The Story of Christopher Colombus by Peter Sis  

Helpful homeschooling tips or advice to share… 

The longer we homeschool the less I feel like I have tips and advice.  Just keep plugging I guess...oh and don't be afraid to ditch something if it isn't working.


Places we’re going and people we’re seeing… 

Unless going to church and the grocery store count, we haven't been going anywhere or seeing anyone.


Things I’m working on…

Going to bed earlier...and getting up early.  Had a pretty good week with that.


I’m cooking…

As I mentioned above I am making all of our bread...and with a family my size it means I am baking quite a bit of bread. I'm also making my own yogurt and kefir.  I LOVE being in the kitchen.  It makes me happy.

Hopefully I will have some pictures for next week's post but I didn't want to let my lack of pictures prevent me from linking up.

Head on over to Homeschool Mother's Journal to link up or see what others are up to.

Review of Dear Wife: Letters from a Help Meet

I recently had the privilege of reading Dear Wife: Letters from a Help Meet by Misty Leask.  I first met Misty when she was a teenager and we were attending the same church. It is a blessing to see her as a mature woman of faith.

In this short e-book there are chapters that speak to different issues we as wives may be struggling with.

Chapters include:

Dear Wife Who Feels Alone
Dear Wife Who Feels Unloved
Dear Wife Who Feels Unwanted
Dear Wife Who Feels Unattractive
Dear Wife Who Feels Overwhelmed
Dear Wife Who Feels Unmotivated
Dear Wife Who Lives Worried
Dear Wife Who Lives Exhausted
Dear Wife Who is Depressed
Dear Wife Who is Stressed
Dear Wife Who is Angry
Dear Wife Who Feels Unloving

Through each chapter, Misty shares Biblical wisdom in short chapters that are easy to manage yet give Biblical food for thought at the same time. Each chapter ends with a heartfelt prayer to help you. This book could easily be used for daily devotions or just to help get you through a difficult spot in your marriage with any of the issues mentioned in each chapter.   I am sure you will be blessed as I was.

You can purchase Dear Wife:Letters from a Help Meet for $2.99 on Amazon.  This is Misty's second book. You can check out her first book, Unfulfilled:A Help Meet's Journey, also $2.99 on Amazon.

Read what others thought about Misty's book on her link-up.

Disclaimer:  I was given a free copy of this book for the purposes of reviewing it.  I received no compensation and was not asked to write a positive review.

Sweet Creamy Peanut Butter Dip {S}

Have you ever had a jicama? [pronounced HEE-ka-ma or HIK-a-ma]. It had been years since I'd tried one and I didn't remember being a fan.  However, I got a new cookbook this week that had a recipe for a peanut butter dip and "apples". The "apples" are actually slices of jicama for a great low carb replacement.

Jicama is rather bland, though it does have a flavor but it is not sweet like an apple...but the mouth feel is just like an apple!  A second option is the Chayote squash.  I had only ever had it once before, but it was cooked.  I didn't realize it could be eaten raw.

One nice advantage to using either of these is that they don't turn brown like an apple.  Fabulous for cutting up ahead of time.

I didn't take a picture of the Jicama before I cut it up but this is what the Chayote looks like:

The outside. This is the size of a small piece of fruit.

A Chayote Squash-cut in half.  

This is my lightened up version of the recipe in the book.

Sweet Creamy Peanut Butter Dip

4 oz. 1/3 less fat cream cheese (softened or beaten in the Kitchen Aid which is what I always do)
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup peanut flour (I used PB2 because I have some I am trying to use up.)
6 packets Truvia and a little stevia extract (I used one scoop of NOW Better Stevia.)
2 T. almond milk (add a little more if you'd like the dip a little less thick)

Cream dip ingredients together and serve with Jicama or Chayote squash slices. (This would also be great on celery.)

I have been able to find both Jicama and Chayote squash at local grocery stores but not in EVERY grocery store.  I couldn't tell you which one I like better, but it is definitely easier to cut up the Chayote.
