Joyful Life with KJ

I made this delicious breakfast skillet from sautéed sweet potato hash with seasoning blend mixed in and two eggs poached on top. I had it with Keewee and some chocolate milk for a nice crossover.

Oh my gosh this thing is SOOOO fun!!! Here’s the recipe I used, but I made just a tiny amount... enough to make 1 cup of the mix. https://abetteryouwithcoachbecky.com/chocolate-ice-cream/ Here’s the link to the Dash Ice Cream Maker!! https://amzn.to/3054w5G *Disclosure: This is an affiliate link that is no additional cost to you, but I may earn a small commission.

We get a lot of our essentials at Sam's Club. These are my Sam's Club must haves for THM.

You guys, this tastes JUST LIKE banana bread!! https://www.nanaslittlekitchen.com/low-fat-banana-bread-smoothie/

https://trimhealthymama.com/recipe/field-of-green-omcake-s/ This is such a surprisingly delicious breakfast. I was skeptical, but loved it.

This was adapted from the link below: 12oz almond milk 2 TBS raw almonds 2 TBS unsweetened coconut flakes 1/2 tsp coconut extract 2 TBS cocoa powder 1 scoop chocolate whey protein 1 large handful of baby spinach 2 tsp Super sweet 1 1/2 cups of ice Blend super well - job with a little on plan whip cream if you want to feel fancy.

Use a Masa wrap (video linked below) and wrap it around the bottom of a metal bowl with foil. Air fry for about 3 minutes on 390, then remove foil and cook one more minute. Full with taco meat and toppings! S suggestions: Cheese Sour cream Salsa avocado Peppers Jalapeños Tomatoes Lettuce E suggestions Plain Greek yogurt Salsa Lettuce Peppers Jalapeños Tomatoes Brown rice Onions Beans

YOU GUYS - I love these masa wonder wraps! 1 cup egg white 2 tbs masa (treated with lime) 2 tbs oat fiber 2 tbs water Onion powder, garlic powder and salt to taste - add any other seasonings you might like! For small, taco size wraps, use 2-3 tbs batter. For large wraps like I did, use 4-5. Add batter to hot pan and spread around quickly. Flip when the edges start to roll up. Takes about 1-2 minutes total. NOTE: spray your pan well if you are not using super non stick pans.

One cup water 2 tbs gentle sweet One pack of hydrates ( add extracts instead if you choose. They need a good boost even with the hydrates) Whisk well Heat until very hot but not boiling Add 2-3 doonks stevia Add 3 tbs gelatin and whisk really well Add a few drops food coloring for a brighter color Strain over fine mesh strainer Fill gummy mold Refrigerate for 15 You can coat in skinny chocolate (takes multiple layers) or plain, or sweet and sour by using 1/2 tsp citric acid and super sweet to coat.

For this recipe you will need: 1/2 a boneless skinless chicken breast 1 serving of brown rice 1 serving of cooked broccoli 3/4 cup water 1/4 cup Bragg's Aminos 1 TBS Super Sweet 2 Tbs Ginger Juice (or 1/2 tsp ginger powder) 1 tsp sesame oil 1 tsp crushed garlic 1/4 tsp xantham gum (or Gluccie)

This was an awesome breakfast!! here's the yogurt bowl: https://www.ohsweetmercy.com/chunky-monkey-yogurt-bowl-low-fat/ Tiramisu Coffee: https://www.joyfullifewithkj.com/drinks-and-shakes/tiramisu-iced-latte

Is the recipe I used. I added 1/3 cup 1% cottage cheese to bulk up the protein some and hold me until lunch. I also added a large handful of spinach to get in my greens. This was an awesome breakfast!! http://6fix.blogspot.com/2014/01/one-word.html?spref=pi&m=1

This is the most bizarre thing! And so stinkin’ good!!! Avocado layer: Into a glass add... -1/2 Avocado -1/2 tsp Gentle Sweet -Splash of Vanilla -Splash of almond Milk Mash up well, or use immersion blender - it's ok if there are still some chunks. Leave in bottom of glass. -2 tbs Handy Chocolate Syrup (Trim Healthy Cookbook) Pour chocolate around inside of glass. -3/4 -1 cup cold coffee (depending on size of your glass) Add coffee to glass -Add about a cup of shaved ice (I threw some ice in my blender and just whizzed it up until snow) Add ice to glass -2 tbs on plan sweetened condensed milk (https://mymontanakitchen.com/3-ingredient-sweetened-condensed-milk-thm-s-low-carb-sugar-free/) -Drizzle onto shaved ice DRINK AND THANK ME!!!!!!!!!

So this video started out as this: https://www.southerninlaw.com/2013/07/sweet-egg-scramble-oatless-oatmeal-recipe.html Bless her, I'm sure someone will love this. But I can tell you - not me! I've discovered that sweet eggs are NOT for me! So we switched to this recipe, which is one of my faves: https://www.briana-thomas.com/mock-arbys-jamocha-shake-s/ Love this recipe, but it's better when you actually have the ingredients. I didn't realize i was out of maple extract until half the shake was made. So I added a little sugar free maple syrup, but still, it was just a yummy coffee shake. Oh well, not every day will be a perfect win!

So I made some AWFUL brownies. But Lord have mercy I rescued them with this amazing shake!!! 1 cup almond milk (or cashew) 1/2 cup 0% Greek yogurt 1 large handful/cup spinach 1/4 c THM chocolate whey protein 1 tbs cocoa 1/4 tsp sunflower lecithin 1 tsp MCT oil 1 tablespoon super sweet 1 piece of crumbled up crappy brownie Splash of vanilla Ice (10-12 cubes) Blend and enjoy! (Add a few pieces of crumbled up crappy brownie after blending if you like chucks getting stuck in your straw )

Jalapeño popper omelette: Three eggs scrambled in a bowl with a tablespoon of water 1/4 cup 0% fat Greek yogurt 1 1/2 tbs whipped cream cheese, or 1 tbs regular cream cheese A whole bunch of jalapeños (I use the jarred kind but you can use fresh if you prefer) Mix together cream cheese, Greek yogurt and chopped up jalapeños. Cook egg scramble until cooked through without stirring. Fill the omelette with the cream cheese mixture and fold over omelette. Continue to cook for 20 seconds on each side. Serve and enjoy!

This was the most AMAZING MEAL!! Oh my word...I'm still reeling over it. I can't wait to have it again!! Toasted 1/2 sourdough or sprouted English Muffin Poached Egg Ham Slices Asparagus Hollandaise For the Hollandaise, I used this recipe: 1 large egg yolk 1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice 3 tbsp unsalted butter ¼ tsp sea salt1 small pinch ground cayenne Whisk the egg yolk and lemon juice together and then continue to whisk in a glass bowl over simmering water (double boiler) until thickened (happens pretty quick), drizzle slowly three tbs melted butter and continue to whisk until thickened and creamy and DELICIOUS! Add seasonings.

Well, I attempted French toast sticks which were good. However, the cake batter smooth they went downhill when I didn’t have the right ingredients, and then it crashed into the ditch when my cover came flying off my blender.🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

The crappy gas station burrito! You know you love them. I woke up this morning craving my old go to. So I made it myself. One low-carb Mission tortilla 3 tablespoons salsa slice of American cheese two scrambled eggs 2 slices bacon Scrambled eggs with a tablespoon of water and stir them the whole time they are cooking for fluffy eggs. Put them in a bowl and mash them up with the salsa and cheese and bacon until it’s tiny tiny pieces of eggs. Put in burrito roll it up covered in tinfoil and air fry for five minutes.

Ok so my first attempt failed BADLY. What a mess. The second attempt, I made a bit differently and it was delish! Not really "upside down" but still delicious! One single serve batter if Trim Healthy Pancakes (p259 THC) Swerve or homemade brown sweetener 1/4 chopped pineapple 3-4 dark sweet cherries (fresh or frozen) Make the pancake batter according to cookbook instructions. Dry your pineapple well with a paper towel. Add pineapple and cherries to pancake batter. Add 2 tsp brown sweetener. Cook according to cookbook instructions. After they look done on outside, remove from heat and cover for a couple of minutes to be sure the insides are well cooked (this batter is more wet with the added fruit). Top with Fat Free Reddi Whip or some THM pancake syrup! Enjoy! Note: To make the brown sugar sweetener, take some super sweet and drizzle with a little blackstrap molasses. Mix until well incorporated and has the appearance of brown sugar!

Here is the link for the Pop Tarts! https://www.sweetashoney.co/keto-pop-tarts/ For the Creme Brulee Iced Latte... 1 cup strong brewed coffee (or use espresso, double brewed coffee or add 1 tbs instant coffee to your cup of brewed coffee) 1/2 cup almond milk 1 tbs brown sweetener (mix a little super sweet with molasses to make your own!) 1 tbs heavy cream Homemade caramel Mix coffee with milk, brown sugar and cream. Drizzle caramel on inside of glass, fill glass with ice, add coffee mix, top with a little Redi Whip and more caramel drizzle. For caramel, user 1-2 tbs butter, melt in a pan and add a tsp of super sweet blend, and a small drizzle of molasses. bring to a low simmer, add 2 tbs cream, add a pinch of xantham gum and whisk well, remove from heat and cool. Single Serve Caramel!

This is from the cookbook Around the Family Table. This is a similar recipe of hers you could use for regular sourdough English Muffins. Mine are Honey Oat. https://aroundthefamilytableblog.com/2019/07/17/sourdough-english-muffins-thm-e/#:~:text=%20Sourdough%20English%20Muffins%20THM-E%20%201%201,bit%20depending%20on%20how%20thin/thick%20your...%20More

I used WWBB to make this recipe. I spread cream cheese on each side, a thin layer of Pyure hazelnut spread, and a few berries. Put the bread together dipped in an egg mixed up with heavy cream and cinnamon and fried it like French toast! Delicious!
