Keto Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie (THM S)

November 19, 2020 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

Looking for the perfect fall or holiday dessert for your low carb diet? This Keto pumpkin ice cream pie is the perfect way to indulge without guilt.

Pumpkin meets sugar free ice cream and lies on top of a delicious and flavorful pecan crust. Tell me, why did we eat sugar before? Because once you try this ice cream pie, you will wonder that too!

This recipe was actually inspired by & lightly adapted from a Breyers pumpkin ice cream pie that I saw on Pinterest. I switched up a few things like the crust, sweeteners and ice cream to make it compatible for Keto, Low Carb and Trim Healthy Mama (S) lifestyles.

And the best part? Aside from it tasting like a piece of pumpkin pie swirled with vanilla ice cream. It is really pretty easy to make. The only hard part is waiting for it to freeze back up after you mix it.

Keto Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie

The pie starts off with a pecan crust. I first made this crust for my double layer Keto pumpkin cheesecake and it is amazing. It adds so much more than the graham cracker crusts you ate before Keto.

Next, comes a mixture of rich pumpkin, cinnamon, vanilla ice cream and of course a little “sugar.” Freeze it & eat it 4 hours later.

And it is so so so good. My daughter (6) actually snagged my piece before I got a bite. Which is saying something because kids are picky.

So what do you need to make this Keto pumpkin ice cream pie?

Ingredients for Pecan Pie Crust

Chopped Pecans
Butter
Cinnamon
Monk Fruit

Low Carb Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie Filling

A low carb/Keto/THM approved vanilla ice cream
Swerve Brown Sugar
Pumpkin Puree (not pie filling, the only ingredient should be pumpkin)
Cinnamon

Allowable Ice Cream Options

Since this recipe was inspired by the Breyers recipe, let’s start there. The Breyer’s Carb Smart (which is allowed as an S on THM) can be used in this recipe.

You could also use a compliant vanilla ice cream of your choice like Halo Top or Rebel.

Making the Frozen Pumpkin Pie

This recipe would be no bake except for the fact that you need to bake your homemade low carb pecan crust. But it is easy and only takes a blender & 10 minutes!

Simply combine the pecan crust ingredients into your blender and blend until everything is combined. The pecans will become so fine that it will look like brown paste.

Make sure the butter is all blended together. That is when I know it is ready.

This is what it will look like before baking.

Spread the pecan mixture into a pie pan and bake at 350 degrees for ten minutes.

Remove from the oven and let the crust cool completely. You could also do this ahead of time and freeze.

Blending the Pumpkin Ice Cream

In a medium bowl, combine the vanilla ice cream, brown “sugar,” cinnamon and pumpkin. Mix with a hand or stand mixture until completely combined.

The ice cream will become smooth.

Pour this mixture on top of your cool and frozen crust.

Place the pie in the freezer and freeze for at least 4 hours.

Serving the Keto Pumpkin Ice Cream Pie

Take the pie out of the freezer about 20 minutes before you are ready to serve.

Top with homemade whipped cream or Fat Free Reddi Whip (for my THM Drive Thru Sues) and a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Homemade THM Taco Seasoning With Nutritional Yeast

September 13, 2020 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

If you are wanting a healthier option than the store bought taco seasoning packets you will want to try this homemade THM taco seasoning with nutritional yeast. It is so easy & contains no ingredients that you can’t pronounce!

Some Trim Healthy Mama’s are purists. And some are not. I’m in that latter category. Don’t get me wrong, I want to make healthier choices for myself and my family but some things just don’t bother me (you can see those things here in the 5 things I don’t do on THM).

And on busy days I sometimes have to choose between getting dinner on the table with one or two less than desirable ingredients or ordering pizza. And I opt for the mostly healthy vs. the pizza.

Taco seasoning packs are one of those things that I used to use because they are “mostly ok.” But if you really drill down, lots of those store bought packages are filled with gross ingredients and things that I don’t want to consume.

So making my own seemed like the only option. But I have to have easy for busy week day suppers so a big batch that I can use for a while was a must. So this Homemade THM taco seasoning with nutritional yeast will yield about the same seasoning as 6 pre-made packs.

Homemade THM Taco Seasoning With Nutritional Yeast

If you have a batch of this Mexican seasoning blend in your pantry, you will be able to make tacos and fajitas quickly during the week.

I’m A Drive Thru Sue – Are the Pre-made Packets that Bad?

Well, I guess that depends on who you ask! I’m not promising that I will never use one again. (I hear all the purists gasping from everywhere!)

But what I am committing to is trying to do better. I know it is easier to rip open a packet and dump it into your ground beef but with just 5 minutes of prep, you can have the same level of easy for six dinners.

And you will feel better knowing that this homemade THM taco seasoning with nutritional yeast is only filled with things that are good for you.

No weird ingredients or fillers. Just spices and Nutritional Yeast!

What is Nutritional Yeast?

Nutritional yeast comes in the form of flakes that are yellow in color. It is a low fat, high protein food that can be used to season. It gives off a nutty or even a slightly cheesy flavor (which makes it nice for E meals, though on it’s own it is a FP).

You can check out all the benefits in this article by Medical News Today.

Making THM Taco Seasoning Packets

Making the homemade THM taco seasoning with nutritional yeast is quick and easy. Just combine all ingredients in a container with a lid or even a ziplock bag.

I prefer these containers.

It will keep in your pantry for an indefinite period! Just waiting on you for a busy night when you need a quick meal for dinner & tacos are welcome at my house any day of the week!

How To Use The Seasoning

After you brown the meat of your choice, add 2 tablespoons of the homemade THM taco seasoning with nutritional yeast to your skillet with 1/2 a cup of water. Allow the seasoning to simmer with the meat for about 15 minutes until most of the liquid is absorbed.

Instant Pot Green Chili Mexican Pork – THM FP

Instant Pot Green Chili Mexican Pork – THM FP

I have been making this seasoned pulled pork in the crock pot for years. It is really versatile and with only 3 ingredients it is a simple weeknight meal that the whole family will love.

But since it takes around 8 hours in the crock pot, I wanted to see how it would fair in the Instant Pot for those evenings that I forgot to worry about dinner! Does anyone else meal plan like a crazy woman and still end up at least one night a week staring in the pantry at 5:30 with zero ideas? I don’t get it but it happens to me often.

So I pulled out that big pressure cooker that I’m determined to love (even though it wasn’t love at first sight) and dumped in the pork and sauce. And in just over half an hour we had a successful shredded pork dish.

THM Enchilada Sauce

Let’s talk enchilada sauce before we go any further.

Many of the store bought varieties include things like food starch, flour, caramel color and sugar. All of which we don’t want in our pork. Why do they do that?! We just want something easy that we can buy for busy weeknights.

So no one that manufacturers enchilada sauce asked me and it is what it is at the store. But I really wanted this to be drive thru Sue friendly like those instant pot dump meals that we loved pre-THM.

So while there is not a perfect THM on plan store bought enchilada sauce, the one that I used is the best that I could find and I’m ok with it. If you have read the 5 things I don’t do, you will know that A. I’m not a purist & B. an off plan oil doesn’t make me cringe so long as everything else is on plan and that it is not the first ingredient.

That is the case with this sauce. It uses cottonseed oil which is a vegetable oil and not on plan. The oil is the 4th ingredient and the numbers work so I use it. However, I don’t want to mislead you. An off plan oil makes it off plan regardless of the numbers because ingredients trump numbers on THM.

If you want something that is totally on plan, try Darcie’s enchilada sauce with this recipe. It is simple and could be frozen ahead of time to make life easier later.

Update: I did find this store bought & on plan sauce at Target. It is 100% on plan & I’m going to try it out the next time that I make this Instant Pot Green Chili Mexican Pork recipe. You would need to use 2 cans of sauce if using this variety.

So exciting to have a completely on plan, store bought enchilada sauce!

Ingredients for Instant Pot Mexican Pork

Like all my favorite dump and pressure cook meals, you only need 3 ingredients for this shredded green chili pork.

Pork Tenderloin (2 pack)
Green Chilis
Enchilada Sauce

Pressure Cooking Green Chili Pork Tenderloin

The instructions for this recipe couldn’t be easier! Dump in 15 oz of Enchilada sauce, 1 can of chopped green chilis and two pork tenderloins into the Instant Pot. I use the pork tenderloin that comes 2 to a package.

Select the manual pressure cook option and set it for 35 minutes. Allow pressure to naturally release for 10 minutes and then quick release after that.

Shred the pork and allow it to soak up some of the leftover enchilada sauce. You can add additional sauce if needed. I usually get the big can and then save the extra for these no tortilla enchiladas.

You can serve it with shredded cheese to make it Keto/Low Carb or a THM S meal. Or you can eat it as written as a THM FP or low fat meal.

Here we made it into enchiladas by just adding the shredded green chili pork and shredded cheese into a low carb tortilla. Then topped the pan of enchiladas with more enchilada sauce and additional cheese. Bake for 20-25 minutes until hot and bubbly.

Another option is to stuff this shredded green chili pork into a bell pepper for an E meal. Add in a 1/4 black beans and corn. Place the stuffed pepper into the instant pot with trivet and 1 cup of water at the bottom of pot.

Cook on manual pressure for 10 minutes. Add a small sprinkling of cheese on top and let it melt so that you don’t go into XO.

Does It Freeze Well?

Instant pot green chili Mexican pork freezes beautifully!

I use the package that has two tenderloins per package. One of those tenderloins feeds my family of 4 so I use this recipe as an easy meal prep and freezer prep opportunity.

Shred the first tenderloin and feed your family dinner. We love to take this pork and use it to make enchiladas or stuffed bell peppers!

Shred the second tenderloin and let it cool in the leftover sauce in the Instant Pot. Once cool place the pork and about 1/3-1/2 a cup of the enchilada sauce that it cooked in, into a gallon freezer bag.

When you are ready to use it, place the shredded pork in the fridge while you are at work. Once you get home it should be thawed and ready to use.

I hope you enjoy this Instant Pot green chili Mexican pork low carb recipe! Let me know your favorite way to use the shredded pork.

Low Carb Cookies and Cream Protein Popsicle

August 23, 2020 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

These low carb cookies and cream protein popsicles are a great way to cool off from the heat and indulge in a sweet treat while staying on plan.

Several months ago I bought a cheap mold to make homemade popsicles at home. I really want a Zoku and have been thinking about asking for one for Christmas for the last couple of years. But before I spend that kind of money on a popsicle mold, I figured I would see if I used my $7 set first.

And if we are being truthful, I had only used my cheapo set one time since I bought it months ago. Last weekend as I was decluttering my kitchen cabinets I resolved to use in the next week or donate it and understand that I’m just not a homemade popsicle making girl.

Ya’ll I did it! I made homemade sugar free popsicles! And after eating this cookies and cream protein popsicle, I might just get that Zoku mold after all! It was so good and creamy and brimming with chocolate sandwich cookie flavor!

Low Carb Cookies and Cream Protein Popsicle – THM S

I was trying to decide if these should be called pudding pops or protein pops. Since they don’t actually have pudding in them I decided on the protein option but these have such a rich flavor and creamy texture that it will remind you of a pudding pop vs. an ice pop.

And the prep time is really quick and easy which I can appreciate now that I am making a few more low carb desserts. Why do all the recipes have to have 200 ingredients! I mean I know why – but sometimes I just need easy. And these are fairly simple.

What You Need For Healthy Chocolate Cookies N Cream Popsicles

Cream Cheese
Vanilla Greek Yogurt (Two Good Brand)
THM Cookies N Cream Protein Powder
Heavy Whipping Cream
THM Super Sweet (Or other Keto/Low Carb Sweetener to taste)
High Key Brownie Bites (Join the Protecting Your THM Pennies FB Group to save money on products like this!)
Popsicle Mold

Making the Greek Yogurt Cookies N Cream Pops

To make the cookies and cream protein popsicle recipe, combine everything but the High Key Brownie bites into a Medium bowl.

Mix until well combined.

Next, crush the High Key cookies and add them to the popsicle mix. Gently fold the brownie bits into the mixture using a spoon.

The mixture will be the consistency of pudding!

Using a spoon, fill your popsicle molds with the cookies n cream mix. Since the mix is so thick, I would gently tap the molds on the counter to get it to go down in the mold which made it easier to fill.

Freeze for a few hours until firm and ready to eat!

I hope you love these Keto/THM S cookies n cream protein popsicle treats as much as we did. I’m starting to think that I am having seasonal confusion because last week I was making a THM Pumpkin Cuffin Dump Cake that was screaming with fall flavors and then today I make popsicles.

I suppose I’m preparing for the late August heat wave we are supposed to have starting tomorrow. Sigh. At least if it has to be hot, I’ve got these yummy protein pops to keep me cool and happy.

Try this THM Cookies N Cream Coffee Frappe this week too for a quick pick me up!

Mix all ingredients except the High Key brownie bites in a medium bowl. Make sure your cream cheese is softened so that it will mix easily. m
Crumble the 4 brownie bites with your hands over the popsicle mixture.
Using a spoon, gently fold in the cookie/brownie bits.
Fill your popsicle molds. The mixture will be thick and similar to a pudding consistency. I found it easiest to put a little in the top of the mold and then gently tap the mold on the counter to get the cookies n cream mixture to settle at the bottom of the mold.
Freeze the popsicles until set - about 4 hours. Yields 4 popsicles in my mold set, it might be different depending on the size of your mold.

Joseph’s Lavash Low Carb Pigs In A Blanket

August 16, 2020 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

These Joseph’s Lavash low carb pigs in a blanket make a quick and easy lunch that makes you feel like you just cheated on your diet but it is completely low carb and on plan for Trim Healthy Mama (S Recipe).

I just made this for lunch and had to share ASAP because it was so good. It tasted like a total cheat meal and it was so easy to make and cheap. That is my trifecta of awesomeness when looking for a Trim Healthy Mama recipe.

What Are Pigs In A Blanket?

I have eaten pigs in a blanket since childhood. Typically it is a hot dog or cocktail sausage wrapped in some type of dough (usually crescent rolls or even puff pastry). And while that is great & delicious, it is not low carb or Trim Healthy Mama friendly.

This recipe for a low carb pigs in a blanket subs the usual dough for a portion of a Joseph’s Lavash bread. Resulting in a crispy, buttery wrapper for your favorite hot dog. No low carb bun required.

And in case you need this for your calendar, National Pigs In a Blanket day is April 24th.

Joseph’s Lavash Low Carb Pigs In A Blanket

We made our pigs n a blanket with cheese for lunch using full sized hot dogs but I may try wrapping cocktail sausages soon. That would be a great low carb/THM party food when you need to take a quick appetizer.

Ingredients for Low Carb Franks in a Blanket

Joseph’s Lavash Bread
Hot Dogs
Shredded Cheese
Olive Oil

Making The Pigs in a Blanket on the Stove

Place 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. You don’t want a bunch in the pan, just enough to coat the bottom.

Cut the lavash bread into fourths.

Heat the hot dogs slightly before placing in the bread. You can do this in the microwave or the stove. It is important to take this step, otherwise the lavash bread will crisp up and brown before your hot dog is warmed through.

Place one warm hotdog onto a piece of lavash and add 1-2 tablespoons of cheese.

Then roll until the hot dog is completely covered by the bread.

Place the rolled dogs into the hot pan. Let cook for one minute and then using tongs, turn to brown the other side for another minute.

Drain on paper towels before serving if needed. Serve with mustard and sugar free ketchup.

I had a few scraps from the lavash bread. I just saved those & plan to make chips out of that in the air fryer or oven.

How Many THM Pigs N A Blanket Can I Eat?

These little babies are so tempting you may be wondering how many you can eat in a meal.

Trim Healthy Mama allows 1/2 of a Joseph’s Lavash in a meal. You could wrap more than two dogs in 1/2 of a lavash, but I found two to be very satisfying and filling for me.

Cost to Make THM Pigs In A Blanket

1/4 of a Lavash – $.16
All beef Hot Dog – $0.64 (can do this cheaper if you use a less expensive hot dog)
Shredded Cheese – $.06
Olive Oil – $0.14 (makes multiple low carb pigs n a blanket)

The total cost to make a Joseph’s lavash bread low carb pigs in a blanket is exactly $1. Whoop Whoop! Cheap and easy lunch.

Who said THM can’t be done on a budget?

I ate two but since you can fry multiple in the same oil, my total lunch cost for the 2 crispy wrapped hot dogs was only around $1.22. Can’t go grab fast food for that!
