Low Carb Cajun Shrimp Casserole

December 18, 2018 by Stacy Craft 3 Comments

A low carb cajun shrimp casserole that contains the cajun holy trinity and plump shrimp in a rich and creamy sauce over cauliflower rice.

Holidays at my Granny’s house were always special. She loved cooking and I remember going to her house at Christmas and eating a gorgeous shrimp casserole and her famous coconut cake that looked beautiful and tasted amazing.

My Granny has been in heaven for many years now and oh how I wish that I could talk to her again. To let her know that as an adult, I share her love for cooking and baking. So when I found her Shrimp Vegetable Casserole in an old church cook book the other day, I just had to make it.

Granny’s Shrimp and Vegetable Casserole

Old church cookbooks are just an absolute dream. I love the classic recipes and simplicity of the books. No pictures. Just simple recipes written out by the ladies of the church. Their names signed with pride under each casserole or icebox pie.

Now, I’m not sure how my beautiful southern grandmother would feel about me changing up this recipe to make it keto and low carb friendly. Cauliflower rice did not exist when she was here on Earth with us and I have a feeling it would not have made her must eat list. However, she did like to tell you about her diet. She called it “reducing” so maybe she would have enjoyed it. I took a risk by creating a low carb cajun shrimp casserole inspired by her recipe and it turned out great.

Don’t get me wrong, I love her version with some delicious white rice to soak up that decadent shrimp sauce. But I can only enjoy that about once a year if I want to fit into my jeans that I have been working so hard to get in after baby #2.

Low Carb Cajun Shrimp Casserole

After a few changes to Granny’s original recipe, this easy low carb cajun shrimp casserole will meet your keto diet requirements and leave you feeling happy instead of deprived. And it is pretty enough with the red peppers and green celery and bell pepper to serve at your Christmas holiday party.

Start by thawing your shrimp if it is frozen. I bought a bag of medium size precooked, peeled and deveined shrimp from Aldi to make life very easy.

Prep the Holy Trinity

Saute the celery, onion and bell pepper in butter or olive oil. Cook it until your desired tenderness because the oven time is short and it will not soften up much during the baking time.

Cook your cauliflower rice. You can buy the steam bag and do it in the microwave or cook it on the stove top. Whichever method you choose, make sure you drain it well so that your low carb cajun shrimp casserole doesn’t get watery. I also like to toss the cooked “rice” with about a tablespoon of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. It is not necessary but I feel like it helps to make it taste a little less cauliflower-y.

Combine shrimp, sauteed vegetables and roasted red bell peppers and mix well.

In a second bowl, combine the mayo, heavy whipping cream, worcestershire, pepper and cajun seasoning.

Mix 1/2 of the mayo sauce with the cauliflower rice. Spread the rice evenly into an 8×8 or 9×9 greased casserole dish. Pour the shrimp mixture on top of the cauliflower rice. Pour the remaining sauce over the top. Do not mix the layers.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.

My Granny topped her casserole with bread crumbs and butter. In my low carb cajun shrimp casserole, I didn’t use bread crumbs because I am following a low carb diet. I actually meant to try it with crushed pork rinds on top but I forgot.

I did top my low carb cajun shrimp casserole with a little grated parm right before serving. Everything is better with a little cheese right?

Cooking with Old Recipes

I had such a fun time cooking my Granny’s shrimp casserole. Cooking this old family recipe gave me time to reflect and remember my sweet grandmother.

I have such fond childhood memories of sitting on the counter in her kitchen. She always had cookies or a cake for us to make with her when we visited. This was back when you could eat raw cookie dough or cake batter and not worry about dying of Salmonella (ignorance is bliss right?).

She would tell you to pour in some flour or sugar. “That’ll do” was her response when we had gotten enough of the ingredients into the bowl. To this day, I don’t know how she could eyeball the correct amounts! I can’t cook a thing without a measuring cup.

My Granny was a wife and loving mother of 4 boys, a grandmother to 5 and now has countless great grandchildren to look down on from heaven. She was a retired teacher and a member of Richland Presbyterian. She loved to cook, sew us big, poufy dresses, and work in her yard.

In loving memory of Geraldine F. Tabb

Trim Healthy Mama Weekly Meal Plan 1

December 7, 2018 by Stacy Craft 1 Comment

A 1 week photo diary of everything I ate for one week. Dig into this Trim Healthy Mama Weekly Meal Plan 1 and stay tuned for subsequent weeks!(Affiliate Links are used in this post. A small commission may be paid to me at no extra cost to you and that helps to support this page. Please see my disclosures page for additional information.)

Trim Healthy Mama Meal Prep

I was planning to meal prep a few things to make my week easier. Here are the things that I was hoping to get done during my 1 hour meal prep.

Make baked oatmeal (will eat this throughout the week for breakfast or even a snack)
Make sausage crumbles for the microwave egg scrambles
Boil Eggs
Cook & Shred Chicken thighs
Chop Turkey ham for ham and beans.
Wash fresh fruit and veggies and prep in ready to go containers

Since I was also in charge of keeping my 11 month out of trouble and entertaining 747 questions from my 4 year old, getting snacks and a bottle, I didn’t quite get everything accomplished that I was hoping for.

I missed making the sausage crumbles, boiling eggs and chopping the turkey ham. Geez, I was only at 50%. I did also get our dinner made in that 1 hour prep, so it wasn’t a complete miss.

What I Ate for A Week on Trim Healthy Mama

Here is everything that I ate for a week. There are lots of pictures and I included recipes where I could. Seeing pictures and other trim healthy mama meal plans helps me to stay on plan and get new ideas so I hope this helps you too!

I aim to keep Trim Healthy Mama ultra simple. Complicated recipes and special ingredients do not often make it to my table. The only thing remotely “special” that I frequently use are the Mission low carb tortillas and Dreamfields pasta. Those are usually in my pantry but they are easy to find at my Walmart and reasonably priced.

Day 1:

Breakfast: Jimmy Dean Simple Scramble Copycat (would typically add some berries with this but I am a mom on the go and the clock said it was time for school so I missed that) (S)

I think this is such a pretty little cup of eggs. I hardly believe it came out of the microwave in less than 2 minutes!

Lunch: Turkey and cream cheese pinwheels, pork rinds, mini bell peppers, 4 oz blackberries (S)

I don’t have a recipe for the pinwheels but they are super simple. Spread a little softened cream on the Mission Low Carb tortilla, spread on some spicy mustard on top of the cream cheese. Add some deli meat and shredded cheese. Roll the tortilla up and place in the fridge for 10 or 15 minutes to help set it up. 30 minutes is probably best but I can’t ever wait that long! Slice them up with a sharp knife. I love these for a quick lunch.

Snack: string cheese and 2 oz of nuts (S)

Dinner: Hummus crusted baked chicken with roasted carrots, bell peppers and green beans (E or XO) I am calling it an E because I only used about a tablespoon of hummus. Hummus is a crossover typically because of the oil and beans mix the fuels. However, since my meal was very low fat otherwise, I call it an E (carrots and my dessert give me the carbs to make it an E). Just be aware if you are using a lot of hummus or have other fats in your meal that you may go into XO territory which is still on plan but not as good for weight loss.

Dessert: Baked oatmeal with non-fat greek yogurt (E)

Evening Snack: Baked Tortilla chips and Salsa (E) I don’t usually eat after dinner but I was really hungry. Possibly because this was my first full day back on THM and I had gotten used to eating a sugar filled dessert after dinner? Habits are hard to break.

Day 2:

Breakfast: Baked Oatmeal (E), topped with nonfat greek yogurt

Lunch: Cold Cut Roll Up Salad (S), Ranch Dressing

Dinner: Easy 15 Minute Turkey Ham & Beans (E) – I know everyone gets scared when you start talking about E meals. My whole family gobbles this meal up with no complaints and it is literally quicker than strapping my kids in car seats and driving to a fast food drive thru.

Seriously, add this to your trim healthy mama weekly meal plan now!

Snack: Nuts,String Cheese (S)

Day 3:

Breakfast: Sprouted Toast, Small amount of greek yogurt cream cheese, All Fruit Polaner’s Jelly and a side of plain greek yogurt with a tiny bit of polaner’s mixed in (about 1/2 teaspoon). (E)

Please excuse the lighting on this photo. I was up early, working on the computer and eating breakfast. That is what us working mamas do! Am I right?

Lunch: Salsa Verde Chicken Mini Pepper Nachos (S)

My most popular recipe on this site is the 30 minute Cheesy Salsa Verde Chicken with Cauli Rice. I took the filling from this recipe and stuffed it in a pepper for lunch. Delish. Here is the recipe for the Salsa Verde Chicken Pepper Nachos.

Dinner: Grilled Pork Chop, Cheesy Zucchini and Spinach salad (S)

Ya’ll – we eat this cheesy zucchini at least twice a week. And that is saying something because I am not huge on repeating recipes. Sub the milk for cream. You can find the recipe by Simply Delish Eats here.

It is a macaroni and cheese sub for me. It is so cheesy and rich, it goes great with grilled chicken, pork or steak.

Day 4:

Breakfast: Breakfast Taco and strawberries (S)

After living in Texas for 5 years, I learned breakfast tacos are life! I made this one on a Mission Low carb tortilla. It’s so good and it is something you can roll up and eat in the car on the way to work.

Lunch: Loaded Tuna Salad on Sprouted Bread (E) with a small apple and raw veggies. You won’t miss the mayo in this quick and easy tuna salad recipe packed with protein!

Dinner: Spaghetti with ground beef meat sauce on Dreamfields pasta, Salad with ranch (S)

Dreamfields pasta is a personal choice item but my body does fine with it so I use it. I can usually find it at Walmart for less than $2. My kids adore spaghetti and the texture of this pasta is really similar to regular pasta. In fact, I can’t tell a difference at all. Spaghetti on a “diet” – Yes please!

Day 5:

Breakfast: Leftover baked Oatmeal with Greek Yogurt (E)

Lunch: Chicken & Cheese quesadilla on a Mission Low Carb tortilla with pork rinds and raw veggies (not pictured) (S)

Dinner: Cheesy zucchini with Ham (S)

Told you that we love this zucchini at my house. Here I just made the cheesy zucchini and added some ham that was lightly browned in a skillet. It is grown up Mac n cheese with hotdogs (don’t judge!). So good and it takes less than 30 minutes to get this on the table.

Day 6:

Breakfast: Easy 2 Minute Microwave Eggs I usually eat the same thing for breakfast a couple of times during the week. It doesn’t bother me and makes planning easier.

Lunch: Baby Spinach, Cheese Cubes, Steak and Ranch (S)

My husband brought home some leftover steak. A delicious yet simple steak salad was calling my name.

Dinner: Sausage, fried radishes and green beans (S)

No Trim Healthy Mama weekly meal plan would be complete without some weird ingredient would it? I don’t know about you but radishes were not on my list of things that I would eat before THM. I finally got brave enough to try them and you know what? They aren’t half bad.

I don’t usually make different meals for my family but my kids aren’t eating radishes. I can promise it. So I made them sausage and potatoes and I subbed radishes for mine. Now let me tell you the truth. You are not going to bite into it and think yum a potato. But if you go into it with an open mind to try a new veggie, I think you might just like it. I did.

Day 7:

Breakfast: Ham slices, scrambled eggs and berries (S)

Lunch: Sprouted Sandwich, carrots, apples and a small amount of ranch (E)

Sprouted Bread Sandwich Apple and Carrots

Dinner: Grilled pork chop, Wedge salad and Fried cabbage (S)

I hope you enjoyed this Trim Healthy Mama Weekly Meal Plan. I will continue to periodically post what I eat over the course of a week to try and give you ideas! THM really doesn’t have to be hard or complicated. If you have any questions, leave me a comment.

Absolute Best Diaper Rash Cream

November 30, 2018 by Stacy Craft 10 Comments

Fix your child’s diaper rash quickly with one cream that you won’t find in the baby aisle!

Please note that this information should not be used as medical advice. If you are concerned about a medical condition, consult a medical doctor or other qualified healthcare professional.

As a new mom, I didn’t know what the best diaper rash cream would be best so I scanned a couple of tubes of goo for my baby registry and moved on to other things. Like probably clothes and big hair bows.

But with my second baby I got a little smarter. I consulted my good friend (who happens to also be an RN) and she gave me the best kept secret in diaper rash cream (and spoiler alert – the company doesn’t even market it for diaper rash)!

This cream is a diaper rash miracle worker. It literally erases minor rashes in sometimes just a few hours and more severe skin breakdown in a day or so.

(Affiliate Links are used in this post. A small commission may be paid to me at no extra cost to you and that helps to support this page. Please see my disclosures page for additional information.)

Preventing Diaper Rash

So before we move on to the absolute best diaper rash cream ever, we should look at how to prevent it in the first place!

Frequent Diaper Changes

This sounds like such a no brainer but it is worth mentioning. Not all diaper rashes are the result of too few diaper changes. But if your baby is having rash issues increasing the number of changes may be appropriate. You want to try and keep them dry as much as possible.

If your infant or toddler is in a daycare setting, you may want to talk to the staff about possibly adding a diaper change for your child. If that is not possible, keep track of the number of diapers that you are sending and that are being used to ensure that the diapers are being changes the proper number of times.

Allow No Diaper Time

Letting your baby go without a diaper may sound like a nightmare. I like to time it out when you are pretty sure that they may not need to use the bathroom again soon, so immediately after a diaper change is a good time.

Find a place that is ok if an accident does occur (tile floor) and allow them to play without a diaper. This allows their skin to air out and can help with preventing further skin breakdown.

Bathe Them Daily

There is lots of conflicting information about this. In my experience, a daily bath helps to get them clean and helps to prevent diaper rash. If you are worried about their skin drying out or other skin conditions, just use water. You don’t have to bathe with soap, but simply rinsing in water (instead of a baby wipe) seems to have benefits with my kids.

Absolute Best Diaper Rash Cream Treatment

Occasionally I will see a diaper rash cream recipe that mixes multiple creams together to make the ultimate remedy. Now I love a good homemade fix to a problem that I am having. But I have to admit that when I see this type of information I always think “if they just had the cream that I use they could save time and money.”

So I have decided to share the best diaper rash cream that you won’t find in the baby aisle! Drum roll please! (seriously, your life as it pertains to diaper rash is about to be changed!)

The best diaper rash cream that money can buy is called Resinol. I buy it for my son on Amazon. You can also find it at most drug stores (though sometimes you may have to ask the pharmacist).

How Resinol Works to Cure Diaper Rash

They key ingredient is Petrolatum and it works as a skin protectant. Here is information taken from uspharmacist.com regarding the use of petrolatum to treat diaper rash:

“Petrolatum (30%-100%) is the ideal diaper rash protectant. It is virtually nonallergenic, lacks an unpleasant odor, is easily removed from the skin, and is effective as a single ingredient without the potential for folliculitis or irritation.² It is the single active ingredient in Vaseline Petroleum Jelly and Vaseline Baby”

Resinol also contains a topical analgesic that will help to eliminate some of the pain associated with diaper rash. As a parent, it is nice to have a product that not only works to fix the issue but also helps to make your baby feel better.

Applying the Resinol

So by now you have your Resinol loaded up in your Amazon cart. My second piece of advice is to buy something that I once said was something totally not needed. But I stand corrected.

The BabyBum diaper cream brush will be your best friend while treating diaper rash with Resinol. The Resinol is thick and although it does wipe off easily, I find it nice to not have to get it all over my hands. Especially with a wiggly toddler, I can’t afford to have a handful of diaper cream!

With the babybum diaper cream brush, you just scoop up some Resinol, spread it on and then use a wipe to clean it off the silicone applicator. Clean and easy.

Cost

I am not sure how much Resinol costs at a drugstore because my purchases of this product have always been on Amazon. Here are my thoughts on the cost of the product compared to other diaper rash creams.

The 2 pack that I purchase works out to usually somewhere around $10 per 3.3 oz tub. It is more expensive than most of the other diaper rash products on the market. I think it is worth it because, it works. If my baby is sick and I know something that will make him feel better, I am willing to spend more to make that happen.

Also, the tub will last you a long time. One tub lasted me about 7 or 8 months. Which means it was just over a dollar a month in cost to keep my baby’s bum healthy and clear.

If you are having trouble with diaper rash in your infant, try the best diaper rash cream out there – Resinol. Just remember, you won’t find it in the baby aisle! Leave me a comment below if you try it.

And don’t forget to include some of this miracle cream in your next baby shower gift that you give! Here is a unique and educational holiday inspired baby shower gift to pin for your next shower.

Low Carb Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas

November 26, 2018 by Stacy Craft 12 Comments

These low carb salsa verde chicken enchiladas will have you feeling anything but deprived! Rich, cheesy and delicious Mexican food without the carbs!

These low carb salsa verde chicken enchiladas are smothered in a 2 ingredient cheesy queso. This recipe was inspired by my most popular Keto recipe on this blog – salsa verde chicken with cauliflower rice. That recipe has been pinned over 100,000 times so I wanted to stuff that recipe into low carb tortilla and call it an enchilada! And since i have already made it into nachos, enchiladas seemed like the right thing to do.

I love Mexican food. I often joke that I could eat it for breakfast. And the couple of times that we have vacationed to Mexico, I have done just that. So when I started my low carb journey, my first worry aside from dessert was my beloved tacos and enchiladas.

It is so nice to be able to eat creamy chicken enchiladas without any guilt. I ate two tonight and just had to share this simple and delicious recipe with you.

Low Carb Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas

I have been doing the Trim Healthy Mama diet on and off for the past 9 months. The hardest thing to me about the lifestyle is convenience foods. Lots of people tend to make eating low carb complicated when it doesn’t have to be.

These 5 ingredient low carb salsa verde chicken enchiladas use the grocery store’s best low carb convenience item as it’s star ingredient. A rotisserie chicken. If you eat low carb or are on THM and you need a quick and easy on plan meal, pick up a rotisserie chicken!

^I forgot to put the cream cheese in the picture. That is what cooking with a 4 year old and an 13 month old will do to you.

With just a few minutes of prep work and then 20 minutes in the oven, you will have a delicious plate of comfort food that I promise you would eat if you were not on a “diet.”

Prepare the Queso

The biggest key to a smooth queso is letting your cream cheese soften before heating it. You can tell from looking at my pictures that I was impatient tonight and did not let the cream cheese soften enough.

If you don’t let it soften up long enough, you may have trouble getting it to melt completely. Don’t worry if this happens, it might not be as pretty but it still tastes great!

After your cream cheese is soft, add it to a small saucepan over medium/low to medium heat with the salsa verde. Allow the cream cheese to melt, stirring occasionally. It usually takes about 10 minutes.

Assemble the Green Salsa Enchiladas

When I make these low carb salsa verde chicken enchiladas, I do not measure the filling. I just toss it in and roll it up. However, I will try and give approximate amounts if you prefer to see a measurement.

Add about 2 tablespoons of shredded chicken, a tablespoon of shredded cheese and a drizzle of the cream cheese and green salsa queso to each low carb tortilla. Roll up and place in your prepared casserole dish seam side down.

Bake at 350 degrees for about 20 minutes, uncovered. Top the enchiladas with sour cream and cilantro when served. We also ate these with a simple avocado side salad.

My husband is not usually thrilled about leftovers but he asked the next day if we had any more enchiladas! I hope you try these low carb salsa verde chicken enchiladas. They were a great change up for us from all the Turkey and dressing that we at last week during Thanksgiving.

Oatmeal Cream Pie Turkey Treat

November 19, 2018 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

Your kids can create an easy oatmeal cream pie turkey treat after Thanksgiving dinner. The DIY turkey dessert is fun and simple to set up for the kids to enjoy.

How is Thanksgiving already here? Last year I had just had a baby and I don’t think I really cared what holiday it was because I was so tired. But this year I decided to get ambitious and host our family Thanksgiving for 15 people. So while I am trying to figure out how to brine a turkey fun activities like this oatmeal cream pie turkey treat will be occupying my 4 year old.

We did a test run on this easy to make turkey dessert a few weeks ago. My daughter had lots of fun arranging the colorful feathers on her cute little turkey.

Oatmeal Cream Pie Turkey Treat

I was in a turkey breakfast theme earlier this month. Turkey shaped Bagels with Apple feathers and Turkey shaped Eggs in a basket were hits at the breakfast table. We love fun shaped food! So we expanded to a cute after school treat with this oatmeal cream pie turkey treat dessert.

You could even set up a little oatmeal cream pie turkey treat station for the kids to make after Thanksgiving dinner. So while you are eating your favorites like 5 minute caramel pie or pumpkin cheesecake, the kids can DIY their own sweet turkey.

What You Need:

Oatmeal Cream Pie

Airheads

Candy Eyes

Candy Corn

Store bought desserts with a holiday twist became a favorite of ours over Halloween. They are so easy and provide a no bake way to get kids involved in the kitchen. The steps to make these oatmeal cream pie turkey treats are very simple.

I prepped everything, gave my 4 year old some guidance on how it would look and then let her get to work. To prep the oatmeal cream pie, take a knife and gently separate the two cookie pieces. Just do it carefully since the oatmeal cookies are very soft.

Cut up the air heads to make smaller feathers. I used leftover Halloween candy for this part!

Now just have your kids arrange the feathers. Replace the top oatmeal cookie and create a turkey face. The candy corn is the nose and I cut a tiny piece of a red airhead for the turkey gobbler.

Here is my little one working very seriously on her oatmeal cream pie turkey treat after Mother’s Day Out one day.

My little one had fun making these quick and easy turkey treats. Would your kids enjoy making this?
