It’s our nature to want to follow the path of least resistance…
Sometimes this awesome way of eating can seem a little overwhelming at first, so I thought you would appreciate some THM recipes that are easy to do and won’t drive you crazy trying to figure out where they will fit in your day.
What awesome way of eating do I mean? The Trim Healthy Mama way, of course! Get started here.
I knew just who to ask…the terrific group of THM bloggers with which I’ve recently connected! They have fabulous blogs, and I asked them for their favorite easy THM recipes.
Since sweets are often the hardest to give up, let’s just start with some of those…
If you miss ice cream, do yourself a favor and visit Briana Thomas. She has a bunch of ice cream and dessert recipes (and other easy THM recipes) like these:
Basic Ice Cream (S)
Bejeweled No-Bake Cream Cheese Bars (S) (even the name sounds divine!)
And right now, my Dark Chocolate Coconut Cake in A Mug (S) is my favorite easy Cake in a Mug recipe.
We should probably have some vegetables, right?
Now that Spring has supposedly arrived, I’m going to be making a lot of this salad from Darcie’s Dishes:
Very Berry Salad with Dijon Balsamic Vinaigrette (S)
And this easy summertime salad from Working at Homeschool sounds good any time of year, to be honest!
Easy Gluten Free Summertime Black Bean Chicken Salad (E)
My Easy Peasy Pea Salad (S) fits here, of course! It’s super easy.
One way to be successful on any plan is to be prepared.
If your mornings are crazy, easy THM recipes can be a lifesaver. Be prepared by making this easy recipe from Working At Homeschool ahead of time:
Freezer Breakfast Burritos (S or E) (Just be sure to read carefully to make sure you are making them S or E)
Be prepared for when the urge for candy strikes, too, with these two THM-friendly candy recipes
Dark Chocolate Coconut Nom Noms (S)
Then there’s those foods that tend to trip us up in spite of our best intentions.
You know the ones…our old favorites like pizza. Briana Thomas and Working at Homeschool have the solution for you:
Supreme Pizza Party Dip (S) (also perfect for a potluck!)
Canadian Bacon Pizza (FP or S) (If you don’t eat pork, this may work with a slice of turkey ham but be sure to watch the carb and fat numbers if you’re wanting a FP)
And burgers…you won’t even miss the bun with this spicy number!
Jalapeno Burger with Sriracha Burger Sauce (S)
But if you do want a bun, you can quickly make one using my Bread in A Mug recipe (with a secret ingredient to make it more bread-y).
Bread in a Mug (S)
Once you get the hang of the plan, you can start “freestyling,” if that suits you.
That simply means taking a recipe and tweaking it to fit the guidelines. But until you feel comfortable doing that, it’s a blessing to have easy THM recipe resources like these great bloggers to help you stay on plan!

What is your recipe for the THM baking blend
Ravishingrosie says
Hello Dawn,
I have come across several posting from you recently and I would like to say “Thank you “! I, myself, am just starting my journey to better health through THM, and I do have a question. Hopefully you will be able to clarify something for me. I am a Celiac and I also have an allergy to tree nuts. Therefore, most of the wonderful recipes I have been looking at, are off limits to me, unless there is an easy substitute available for the almond flour. I currently used a combination of sorghum flour and coconut flour, but I am not sure if the sorghum flour is on plan. Is there something else that can be used in its place, that is still on plan and I wouldn’t be allergic to?
I thank you in advance for any help you may be able to give.
God bless you,
Ravishingrosie

Hi Ravishingrosie! Love your name 🙂
Thanks so much for the thank you and I’m glad you found my little home on the web. There are some nut-free baking blend type recipes out there you can try. I’m not familiar with sorghum flour so looked online for some nutrition information. It looks pretty high in carbs and not a lot of fiber so it likely isn’t suitable for the S (or low-carb) recipes. I’ll have to look into it further to see what the official position is on it.
As far as substitutions for almond flour in general, ground flax meal could possibly be used, I saw someone share they use a mix of coconut flour and ground flax (the golden flax is milder in flavor and lighter in color). Here’s a couple baking blend recipes that don’t use almond flour:
https://www.briana-thomas.com/brianas-baking-mix/ (I’ve used this one and it works well)
https://mamashire.com/mamashires-gluten-free-baking-blend/ (I haven’t tried this but her recipes are good in general and she has many )
I hope this is helpful for you! And welcome to THM. If you’re on Facebook I highly recommend joining the allergen free group, it’s a terrific resource: https://www.facebook.com/groups/THMAllergenFree/

Ravishingrosie, I just got word from a THM admin that sorghum flour needs to be soaked (soured) or sprouted to be on plan and would be an E.
