Low Carb Baked Feta Pasta from Tik Tok

February 9, 2021 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

A viral video has tons of people baking cheese and tomatoes and tossing them with pasta for an amazingly easy supper. We  altered the original recipe to make this low carb baked feta pasta from Tik Tok & we aren’t sad about it!

Tik Tok Famous Low Carb THM S Baked Feta Pasta

Easy weeknight meals are kinda my love language. Keeping low carb/Trim Healthy Mama/Keto easy is how I stay consistent on the plan. Because let’s face it, no one wants to drag out a cookbook every night.

And this recipe is so simple. It also tastes a little bit fancy which is so nice for a meal that was so easy. If you haven’t made this yet, do it. Like tonight. Seriously.

I made it Saturday night and on Monday I picked up more ingredients from the grocery to make it again!

Low Carb Baked Feta Pasta from Tik Tok

Dump, bake & mix.  Low carb baked feta pasta is that easy. Serve it up with a big salad and a rotisserie chicken breast and you have a full meal with very little effort! 

It looks like this trend started with the FeelGoodFoodie and spiraled from there. And we are pretty happy that she posted it because it is a dinner time game changer.

Trim Healthy Mama S Feta Hack

What You Need: 

  • Feta
  • Cherry Tomatoes 
  • Olive Oil
  • Fresh Basil 
  • Minced Garlic
  • Low Carb Pasta Substitute
  • Rotisserie Chicken (Optional)

What Can I Use For A Low Carb Pasta Substitute? 

There are several options for you if you are trying to avoid the extra carbs in traditional pasta. 

  • Zucchini Zoodles
  • Spaghetti Squash 
  • Palmini Noodles
  • Miracle Noodles
  • Dreamfields Pasta

Baking the Feta & Tomatoes 

In a 9×13 pan, slice a big block of feta lengthwise. Place the cheese in middle of the pan and place cherry tomatoes around the pan. 

Unbaked Feta and Cherry Tomatoes with Olive OIl

Drizzle generously with olive oil and freshly ground pepper. 

Bake at 400 Degrees for 30 minutes. 

Remove from the oven and add 2 teaspoons of minced garlic while it is piping hot. 

Broiled Baked Feta Hack with Tomatoes

Add in a box of cooked Dreamfields. Mix everything well. 

**Note** I would add some pasta and stir. Then add a little more and stir. Just so you don’t have dry pasta.

Sprinkle with fresh Basil and serve! 

If you want to use a rotisserie chicken (and I recommend it!), just slice up some of the warm chicken and serve it on top of the low carb baked feta pasta.

Instructions

  3. Dump in the cherry tomatoes around the cheese and drizzle it all with olive oil and fresh cracked pepper.
  4. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 minutes.
  5. While your feta is baking, prepare your low carb noodles or vegetable zoodles according to directions.
  6. Once the baked feta is done, broil for 2 minutes to brown the cheese slightly.
  7. Remove the casserole dish from the oven and immediately add the minced garlic to the pan. Using a spoon gently mix everything together.
  8. Add in your low carb pasta or veggie zoodles to the pan and mix gently.
  9. Sprinkle with fresh basil (dried basil from your spice rack will work in a pinch) & serve immediately.

Low Carb Strawberry Cheesecake Cups – THM S

February 7, 2021 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

These no bake low carb strawberry cheesecake cups are an individual dessert that is easy enough for any day but cute enough to serve to company!

Low Carb Strawberry Cheesecake Cups

Last summer I made some No Bake Strawberry Cups that I made for my Bunko group. They were so yummy but they weren’t sugar or guilt free. 

Months have passed and I didn’t forget them. So I went to work on converting it into a Low Carb & Trim Healthy Mama S friendly dessert recipe. 

The good news is that it worked & worked beautifully. I personally think that cheesecake is one of the easiest treats to convert to low carb because it has a similar texture and tastes just like the real thing.

Low Carb Strawberry Cheesecake Cups – THM S

These individual low carb strawberry cheesecake cups start with a faux graham cracker crust. The cups are then layered with a sugar free no bake cheesecake, diced strawberries, more cheesecake and topped off with a few more strawberries. 

And not only are they good, they are so cute too! The perfect little dessert shooter for a small dinner party & my kids like them too. 

I have them planned for our Valentine’s dinner at home this year. 

What You Need for No Bake Low Carb Cheesecake Cups 

Here are the ingredients that you need for these low carb strawberry cheesecake cups. 

  • Wasa Light Rye Crackers
  • Butter
  • Cinnamon
  • Monk Fruit
  • Cream Cheese
  • Heavy Whipping Cream
  • Vanilla Sweet Drops 
  • Fresh Strawberries 
  • 6 Disposable Cups 

Making the No Bake Sugar Free Graham Cracker Crust 

Low Carb Graham Cracker Crust Crumbs

To make this low carb graham cracker crust, you will place 6 Light Rye Wasa Crackers into your blender (I break them up a bit first). 

Next, add the cinnamon, butter, 2 tbsp of monk fruit & blend until it is in crumb form. 

Place two teaspoons of the graham cracker mix into each cup. 

Can I Make the No Bake Cheesecake Without the Crust? 

Sure! Do whatever you like.  

I like the texture of having the crust but it is still  yummy without it! I add one extra layer of strawberries at the bottom when I’m skipping the crust. 

Mixing the No Bake Sugar Free Cheesecake 

The next step in the low carb strawberry cheesecake cups is to make the cheesecake filling. Thankfully you don’t even have to turn on your oven! 

Add your softened cream cheese to a mixing bowl and mix for a minute or so until it is whipped. Next, add the remaining monk fruit, heavy whipping cream and Sweet Drops. 

Continue whipping the cream cheese mixture until it becomes well mixed and the whipping cream starts to fluff up. 

Filling the Low Carb Strawberry Cheesecake Cups 

Low Carb Cheesecake Cups

Place your no bake cheesecake filling into a ziplock bag. Cut off the end and fill each cup about 1/2 way with filling. 

Next, add a couple of tablespoons of diced strawberries. Then fill the cups just under the top with additional cheesecake filling. Finish with a few diced strawberries on top. 

Cheesecake Chill Time 

Low Carb Individual Sugar Free Cheesecakes

Move those little cheesecake dessert cups to the fridge and let them chill for at least an hour. Two hours is really my preference. 

I think they are best eaten same day because the strawberries are prettier. But I have eaten these a couple of days later & they still taste good, just not as visually appealing.

  4. Top with additional diced strawberries.

Low Carb Dips for Pork Rinds

April 6, 2019 by Stacy Craft 2 Comments

Are you loving that you can have crunchy store bought pork rinds on your low carb lifestyle but struggling to find something to dip those little piggies in?

29 easy low carb, THM S and keto friendly dips are listed below to help you in your snack sessions.

Easy Keto Dips to Eat With Pork Rinds - Low Carb THM S

29 Low Carb Dips for Pork Rinds. Some with cream cheese and some that are sour cream based. Great dips for pork rinds or veggies on a low carb, keto or THM S diet.

What is the hardest part of staying Low carb or Keto for you? For me it is when I am invited to some type of social event. There are always tons of yummy dips and treats there to tempt me off my diet.

Instead of  falling off the wagon, just take one of these yummy low carb dips for pork rinds and a big bag of skins to curb your need to dip!

Low Carb Dips for Pork Rinds

Creamy and cheesy dips are one of the best part of a keto/low carb diet, right? They are so decadent and taste like you are cheating! But what do you dip into those delicious dips? Pork rinds of course.

And I have a low carb confession. I really don’t enjoy pork skins plain. I like the crunch that they provide but the taste is just a bit overpowering for me. So I find that some kind of dip really helps to mellow out the pork rind’s flavor.

I actually don’t follow a Keto or low carb specific diet. I have lost 60 lbs postpartum following the Trim Healthy Mama Plan. On THM, they recommend that you eat every 3 hours.

Although there are several things on the plan that I don’t do, if I do eat an afternoon snack some of these dips are easy enough to be used then!

And if you are joining here on the THM journey, all of these are going to be used with “S” meals or snacks.

Dip Ideas for Pork Skins

Guacamole

Tuna Salad

Siete Dairy Free Cashew Queso

Brami Lupini Hummus

Ranch Dressing mixed with hot sauce

Tzatziki

Salsa

Egg Salad

Buffalo Chicken Dip

Buffalo Chicken Jalapeno Popper Dip

Trim Healthy Mama Meal Plan 1/31-2/6/21

February 1, 2021 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

A free Trim Healthy Mama Meal Plan 1/31 – 2/6/21. 

 1_31_21 - 2_6_21 Trim Healthy Mama Meal Plan

Hi! If you are looking for a weekly Trim Healthy Mama meal plan, you have come to the right place! First let’s talk about my meal planning style. 

I create a plan for breakfast, lunch, dinner & snacks by day for the week. But then when Monday rolls around, I don’t necessarily eat for breakfast what I had planned for Monday. In fact, I might eat Saturday’s breakfast on Monday if it sounds good. I use the plan as a general guide for what I will eat in a given week but don’t force myself into it. 

I freely mix and match throughout the week according to what my body is craving. By planning, it helps me to ensure I have 7 dinners planned out to make the evening rush easier. It also helps me to make sure I don’t skip out on my E meals! 

Meal Plans are one week behind. Just to clarify, I release my meal plans the week after I eat them. This is done so that I can include more photos of the meals that I eat because I know some of you love pictures! They should still be seasonally appropriate. 

New to THM? Here is a brief summary of the plan and a guide to fuel rotations (like what the heck is an S, E or XO and when do I eat those letters?!).

THM Tacos in a Bag

January 25, 2021 by Stacy Craft Leave a Comment

Looking for a fun & healthy family meal that your entire Trim Healthy family will enjoy? Stop your search you found it – THM tacos in a bag will make everyone at the table happy (even those that are off plan). 

Low Fat - THM E Tacos In a Bag

You might call them “walking tacos” but around here we call them THM tacos in a bag. A little bit of nachos, a little bit of tacos and a whole lotta good. 

Save a plate tonight and eat your Trim Healthy Mama dinner out of a chip bag! The kids think it is hilarious, you do less dishes and everyone likes the way it tastes.

THM Tacos in a Bag

Tacos are kind of a universal favorite. I mean everyone loves tacos right? I know my family does & it is such a simple  meal that doesn’t require a ton of effort from me. 

Win!

THM Tacos In A Bag - E Meal 

Trim Healthy Mama Taco In a Bag Ingredients 

Here are the items that you need for your taco dinner in a bag.

The Base: 

  • An Individual Bag of Baked Tostitos (E) (These often come in and out of stock on Amazon. Join my THM Deals group – I often update when they are back in stock and on sale!)
  • Lean Ground Turkey (E) Make it like this in the Instant Pot for the most flavorful taco meat ever!

The Toppings:

Walking tacos toppings - THM E

  • Diced Tomatoes (FP)
  • Non-Fat Greek Yogurt (FP)
  • Jalapenos (FP)
  • Salsa (FP)
  • Diced Onion (FP)
  • Shredded Lettuce (FP) 
  • Corn (E)
  • Black Beans (E)
  • Pinto Beans (E)
  • Fat Free Refried Beans (E)
  • Brown Rice (E)

Adding the following toppings would make this recipe a delicious & on plan crossover (XO):

  • Full Fat Cheese (S)
  • Avocado (S)
  • Sour Cream (S)
  • Olives (S)  

The fun thing about walking tacos is that you can customize the bag exactly to your liking and your family can make their dinner just the way they want it. 

And that is even more important on Trim Healthy Mama because no one wants to make multiple meals. Since you choose your toppings, you can make this work for off plan family members or those that want a different fuel than you.

How To Make Your THM Walking Taco Bag 

Tacos in a Bag - Filled - Fun Family Dinner

Making the THM tacos in a bag is an easy weeknight dinner that is fun to eat. My 7 year old thinks it is an incredibly fun way to eat her dinner. 

Here are the items that you need to prepare.

  1. Cook your ground meat, drain grease and season with THM Taco seasoning. (I like this Instant Pot method for the meat) 
  2. Warm or cook any other toppings that need to be prepared (rice/beans/corn). 
  3. Place bowls out with the remaining toppings that you have chosen.

Building Your Taco Bag 

Open an individual bag of baked Tostitos and crush the chips lightly. You just want to break the chips up gently but don’t reduce them to crumbs! 

Start scooping the toppings that you want right into the bag! The chips are an E so if you want to keep it that fuel, only use FP or E toppings.

What’s in My Bag 

I crush my chips a bit and then add in a tablespoon or two of corn and probably around 1/4 cup of fat free refried beans. I don’t measure the beans but that is roughly the amount. 

Next, I add in the turkey taco meat. Then I add the Greek yogurt as a sour cream sub, diced tomatoes, onion, salsa and jalapenos.

With whatever space I have left, I pile in a bunch of chopped baby spinach. As listed, this would be an E meal. 

Full disclosure: I love adding a big sprinkle of shredded cheese for a XO to make this meal even better!

Eating Tacos in a Bag

Now for the fun part! Eating your THM tacos in a bag. 

Grab a spoon and mix your taco meat, veggies and chips together. Scoop up a big spoonful and enjoy eating your dinner right out of a bag. 

Hey – whatever we have to do in order to do less dishes on THM right?!

Avoid Overdoing the Carbs

I listed multiple E toppings that you can throw in your chip bag. But it is important to remember that the chips already have 19g of carbs so you don’t want to go overboard with too many additional E toppings. 

Counting and measuring is something that I despise in a way of eating so you won’t often see me saying that I measured 1/4 a cup of beans and 1/3 a cup of whatever. It isn’t how I eat & thankfully it isn’t what THM preaches. That being said, just be mindful. 

As an example, one bag of chips with 1/4 cup of black beans and 1/4 cup of corn will keep you under the recommended carb limit of 45 grams per meal.  

Last note is for the Trim Healthy Husbands! One bag does not fill my husband up so he eats two. While eating two bags of the chips is not ideal in my eyes, I’m not his keeper! He does go heavier on meat and FP toppings though so numbers wise, it really works out. 

If I am still hungry after eating my taco bag, I usually just make a little side salad with lettuce, meat and FP toppings. 

Want an “S” Walking Taco Bag? 

Not tested yet (tell me if you try it) but I’m thinking an individual bag of pork rinds could work here! Pile it high with cheese, ground beef, sour cream, avocado and black olives. Sounds pretty good to me! 

Or if I want an S meal while my family in having THM Tacos in a bag, I will just make a big salad with the taco meat and toppings.
