This version of the Good Girl Moonshine adds in some lemon juice for a delightful, healthy lemonade. This is a sipper drink in that it can be sipped on throughout the day. I also have the Strawberry Lemonade version listed in the recipe, but this one should be drank in a shorter time period, due to the carbs in the strawberries. If you prefer to keep it a sipper drink, add a few whole strawberries to the drink to float around and flavor it.
- Use raw apple cider vinegar “with the mother” like Bragg Organic ACV. You should be able to find it in your local grocery store. Since apple cider vinegar is rather tart, start off with the smaller amount and work your way up to get used to it.
- If you aren’t sure if you like the taste of ginger, just put a few shakes of powdered ginger in your drink and then slowly adjust it over time to get up to a teaspoon of it in your drink.
- When drinking apple cider vinegar throughout the day it’s best to use straws. It helps keep the acid from the ACV off of your teeth. Our favorite straws are these metal straws. ACV can actually whiten your teeth, but should be rinsed off. You can read more about the health benefits of ACV here.

Strawberry Lemonade Good Girl Moonshine
- Blend strawberries in blender with about 1 cup of water. Add to the above mixture. With the strawberries blended in the drink this adds a small amount of carbs and should not be sipped on throughout the day, but rather enjoyed in a smaller amount of time.
- Or just add in the whole strawberries and let them float around flavoring your drink. Super fun!

Lazy Grain-Free Chicken Nuggets
Lazy Grain-Free Chicken Nuggets with simple steps so you can take it a little easier in the kitchen while serving this family favorite! Dairy-Free, THM-S
(This post contains affiliate links. Any purchases you make through my links will provide me with a small commission at no extra charge to you. Thank you for your support! See my disclosure policy here.)
I don’t remember when chicken nuggets first came on the scene, but I think the first nuggets I had were at McDonalds years ago. I thought they were pretty wonderful, especially dipped in honey-mustard sauce.
Since going gluten-free and following Trim Healthy Mama, I need to make this family favorite from scratch. I call these lazy chicken nuggets because there are days, probably more often than not, that I don’t want to have to do much to get supper on the table.
So, instead of dipping the little chicken pieces in eggs and then picking each one out and then dredging them in the batter, I just pour the eggs on the chicken and then pour the breading over it all. Give it a stir and then get them to frying. The hardest part of this recipe is cutting the chicken breasts into pieces.
I use red palm oil in this recipe, because I think it adds a wonderful flavor and a lovely golden color to your food. If you don’t have any feel free to use coconut oil only.
Trim Healthy Mamas these Lazy Grain-Free Chicken Nuggets are an S.
PrintLazy Grain-Free Chicken Nuggets
- Yield: 5 servings
- Category: Dinner
Ingredients
- 3 chicken breasts
- 2 whole eggs, or 2 egg yolks (only if you already have some separated), whisked with a fork
- 1/2 cup flaxmeal
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4-1/2 teaspoon mineral salt
- 4 tablespoons red palm oil
- 3 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts in 1 to 2 inch pieces.
- Begin heating skillet with red palm oil and coconut oil over medium heat.
- Place chicken breasts in pie pan or other shallow dish.
- Pour eggs over chicken and stir around with a fork, making sure that the egg covers the chicken pieces.
- In a small bowl mix flaxmeal, coconut flour, spices, and salt together. Spread over chicken. Stir chicken around to coat with the breading.
- Once the oil in the skillet is hot, carefully place chicken in skillet without crowding too much. If all the chicken doesn’t fit in the skillet you may need to fry a second batch, if so add a little more oil to the pan before frying the second batch. Or use 2 skillets at the same time.
- Turn after 4-5 minutes and continue frying on other side another 4-5 minutes or until golden brown.

Happy fall, everyone! It’s such a wonderful time of the year. We’re bringing out our sweaters, the trees are beginning to change colors, the fields are turning all golden as harvest time is fast approaching. Early mornings are crisp and cool. I love it all. And then there is the baking.
One of my husband’s favorite cakes is spice cake. I remember when I first made him one, I had searched high and low over all those boxed cake mixes in the grocery store trying to find the right one. Brought it home and baked it up. He loved it. It made me happy to make him happy. Isn’t that what baking is all about?
Since that time a few things have changed. When our family went gluten-free, I made a list of our favorite foods and began a mission to replace those recipes with ingredients that we could eat. Spice cake was on that list! I love that this cake is not only gluten free but grain-free too!
You can frost your cake with my Vanilla Frosting Recipe or with your favorite recipe. This cake fits wonderfully on the Trim Healthy Mama plan and is an “S”.

Frosted Lemonade – Dairy Free, Sugar Free
Creamy and refreshing dairy-free, sugar-free mock Chick-Fil-A Frosted Lemonade. Makes 1-quart serving or smaller servings to share. Trim Healthy Mamas (FP)
(Some links in this post may be my affiliate links which means I earn a percentage, at no cost to you, when you purchase. See my disclosure policy here.)
Recently our family stopped at a Chick-Fil-A and we were given a free Frosted Lemonade because they had accidentally made an extra one. Funny thing was we couldn’t eat it because of –you guessed it– the dairy. So, when I came across a copycat recipe on Pinterest, I decided to make one that’s dairy and sugar-free.
I have no idea how close it is to the original, but I think it’s yummy, creamy and refreshing! I love using metal straws with my drinks – it makes the drinks feel extra special!
If you aren’t used to using glucomannan, it is a healthy starch that is very low carb and adds a thickening, light creamy texture to the shake. I haven’t seen it in stores yet, but you can find it at Amazon. You can make the shake without it, but you’ll lose a little of the creamy effect and since we’re doing this dairy free we need all the creaminess we can get. I have read where xanthan gum could be used as a substitute, but I haven’t tried that personally.
The collagen is optional, but using it will give you a good serving of protein and it has so many health benefits. My favorite brands of collagen are Custom Collagen and Integral Collagen.

PrintFrosted Lemonade
- Yield: 1 quart
- Category: Drinks
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup lemon juice or juice of 2 lemons
- 2/3 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons collagen (optional)
- 1/2 – 1 teaspoon baobab powder or THM baobab powder, (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon Now Brand Stevia Extract or 2 “doonks” of Trim Healthy Mama Stevia Extract
- 2 pinches Himalayan salt or mineral salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon glucomannan
- 3 cups ice cubes (around one full ice tray)
Instructions
- Put lemon juice, almond milk, collagen, stevia, salt, and vanilla in blender. Turn on low for just a few seconds to mix. While blender is on low, slowly add in glucomannan. Blend on low for 30 seconds and turn off. Add in ice cubes and blend on high until ice cubes have been completely blended.
Notes
The baobab powder is completely optional. It’s a superfruit and will add nutritional value. It does have a citrusy flavor so it goes along with this drink really well. You may want to add just a bit more sweetener if you add it as I find it is a tiny bit bitter.

This Frosted Mocha is a delicious and satisfying drink. Perfect for a snack between meals or for a big dessert.
Tips for making Frosted Mocha:
- Keep an eye on the carbs in your cocoa powder, some of them contain more carbs than others. I use raw cacao powder when I can for an added healthy benefit, but it isn’t necessary to enjoy this delightful drink.
- The added collagen in this drink gives you a good amount of protein to help make this a more satisfying snack. THM Integral Collagen or Custom Collagen works well in this recipe. It’s also great for your skin and joints.
- The glucomannan helps give this drink a creamy texture. Either THM Glucomannan or Now Glucomannan would work well.
- This drink is best enjoyed within a half-hour of making.
- I do use a Vitamix blender and so I have a tamper that I use to push down the ice while it’s blending. If you are using a different type of blender you may need to stop the blender occasionally and use a large spoon or rubber spatula to push down the ice.

This light. tasty vanilla icing is in between a glaze and frosting. It can be put in a baggie and piped onto your baked goodies. Clip a tiny corner of the baggie and squeeze out the icing. You can go slowly and controlled or go fast and let it get all squiggly like I did on the scone above.
I put in just a bit of butter flavoring in this recipe, if you don’t have any it will still work, but it does add a light, buttery flavor that I think is worth adding in.

These grain-free snickerdoodle scones are perfect for breakfast or for an afternoon snack with a cup tea or coffee. While your scones are baking be prepared for some wonderful cinnamon aroma wafting through your kitchen. Both of my girls commented on how much they smelled like the cinnamon toast waffles that we used to buy before we went gluten-free and how wonderful the kitchen smelled.
Easy steps to make perfect scones:
- Pat dough into an 8″ circle about 3/4″ thick on a parchment-lined baking pan.
- Using a knife or pastry scraper cut dough into eight slices.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes
- Cut again along the lines.
- Carefully slide each scone out about an inch.
- Bake for 5-7 more minutes.
