BAM Donuts!!! Egg, dairy, gluten, nut free delicious E!

What's a mama to do when she is craving donuts with her morning tea?
I loved donuts before THM, and since THM, being egg free, I was really missing them.
I kept thinking how lovely it would be to sit and sip my tea with a delicious donut.

IDEA!! Make the Bust a Myth (BAM) cake (page 298 of the Cookbook) using my allergy friendly tweaks and pour it in my donut pan!!! Serious moment of genius creativity!

I did add some cinnamon, a teaspoon because I love cinnamon.

I also ground up some Super Sweet Blend and made powdered sugar and lovingly dusted the tops of my donuts with the sugar and then a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Heavenly. 

Truthfully, they would be great just out of the oven, warm and soft. They don't need anything extra. 

However, that little sprinkle of sweetness just made my heart happy. :)

These will be made often and enjoyed frequently. Thank you THM for making donuts possible in my life while I am still working toward my weight loss goals.

Chizza Pizza - THM S - Low Carb!

***Disclosure: this post contains affiliate links, thank you for an purchases you make through them, it blesses my family and helps me keep my blog up and running!***

Pizza seems to be one of those foods I can never quite get right. Without eggs and too much dairy, of course no wheat and I would prefer not to use nuts, the crusts are never exactly what I am looking for......making pizza, while delicious, never quite as satisfying as I would like.

I had seen crusts made with meat around the internet, but I didn't want a hamburger patty with pizza toppings either. I wanted something more like a crust....so I thought I would give it a try in my own way!

Chizza Pizza came to be! I decided chicken instead of beef, milder flavor, picks up the flavorings better. Let's the toppings shine! I played around a little and the result was a hit with my whole family. They are my official taste testers, when they love it, that's when I know it's ready for the blog.

I would love to hear what you think of Chizza Pizza if you give it a try!

I would like to offer my dairy free readers some options:

Taco pizza! Top this crust with a thin layer of refried beans, or salsa, then top with olives, seasoned hamburger, onions, peppers, jalapenos, bake it up and top with fresh tomatoes and shredded lettuce!
BBQ pizza! Top with a schmear of on plan BBQ sauce (from the book), red onions, shredded beef, oinions and garlic.


On to my basic Chizza crust!

2 pounds lean ground chicken (mine had only 5 grams of fat per serving!)
1/8 cup of Baking Blend (or substitute that works for you)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried minced onion
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried oregano
salt and pepper to taste

I used a jelly roll pan for baking this, something with a lip is important so you don't have drips.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Mix ground chicken with the baking blend and spices. Spread chicken mixture thin to edges of the jelly roll pan, creating a little lip around the edges if you would like it to resemble more of a pizza crust.

Bake for approx 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

Remove from oven, but leave it on!

Now top your Chizza! We used no sugar added spaghetti sauce, mozzerella, turkey pepperoni, onions, peppers and some shavings of parmesan. Pop back in the oven for about 10-15 more minutes to allow toppings to get hot and if you are using cheese, let it get all melty and wonderful!

My Weekly Meal Plan!

**This blog post contains affiliate links, thank you for your purchases that help support my blog!**

There are times when I find myself so far from where I started I need to take a walk back in time, revisit the place where I started. So, I am shaking things up!! I am returning to some simplicity in the plan. I easily get caught up in all the fun and specialty things, that I forget the delicious simplicity of some of the basics of the plan.

This week is weigh in week as well for the Accountability Group - so I am also giving myself a little boost with some of the foods that originally helped me reach my goal weight!

As always, my meal plan is egg, almond, peanut, sunflower seed and wheat free. I truly hope you find this helpful to your journey!

Breakfasts:

Chicken breakfast sausage scramble with non starchy veggies, with Trimmy (3 times)
Oat Pancakes, slim belly jelly, FP Trimmy (2 times)
FSF or Big Boy Smoothie (2 times)

Lunches:

Large green salad with tuna (or other meat) EVOO/ACV dressing, skinny chocolate (3 times)
Loaded Fotato Soup with smoked salmon (twice)
Brown Rice cakes with lean deli meat, pickles, mustard, baby frap (twice)

Dinners:

Chicken Pizza with side salad, EVOO/ACV dressing
Taco Salad
Chicken in crockpot with broccoli and cauliflower
Salmon over a bed of greens
Cowboy Grub with peas & carrots on the side
Chicken Fajitas bowl over spanish cauli rice
Chana Dahl soup in the crockpot and side salads

Desserts:

I am trying to go a little lighter here, I enjoy those lovely fats, but trying to boost things a little with lighter foods closer to bedtime

Cookie Bowl Oatmeal with berries (twice)
Skinny Chocolate (twice)
Hot Cocoa trimmy with cinnamon "toast" (twice)
I have one night undecided.....

What do you all use for salad dressings? I almost never buy a premade dressing, between food sensitivities and on plan ingredients, I find myself struggling. I think this looks like a great gadget to help me make more dressings! Do you have anything like this? Do you like it?

                                                             

I hope you all have a wonderful week!!

Thank you for shopping for your THM needs through my affiliate link! Your purchases help me continue to bring you meal plans and more fun egg free recipes!

***GIVEAWAY!!!*** THM Plan Book & Cook Book!!!

LADIES! I am so excited to have the opportunity to offer this amazing giveaway! This plan has literally changed my life and I am so blessed to be able to share it with others through my blog, through local meetings and now one lady who has not been able to purchase the books yet will have the opportunity to win the set and learn all about this amazing plan!

This may be a bit backwards, but I want to start my thoughts about this set with the cookbook!! This book is AMAZING!! It has many wonderful allergy friendly recipes as well! For the recipes that contain egg, I am slowly working through and trying my best to recreate them for all of us egg free families. You can find that post HERE.  There are wonderful dairy subs in here as well! Collagen berry whip, hello cheese and laughing mama to name a few of the new dairy free options! The dinner recipes have been wonderful and my family is LOVING them!

One of my favorite sections is the drinks! There is chocolate milk, strawberry milk as well as many others! All wonderful and help curb my sweet tooth and keep me focused, satisfied and successful!

They have categorized the recipes for fuel types, allergens and even those that require no special ingredients! This book has been an amazing resource!

The plan book is a must have, I will be honest though, I LOVE the casual, fun style of the first book. However, I know for many it was too much, I truly believe for those of you this will be a much better option. It's concise and gets you to the heart of the plan much quicker. Truly, it's wonderful. The sisters have done an amazing job working to adapt to the requests of their customers. How amazing is that? How often have you heard of authors that listen so closely that they work this hard to bring out what their customers want? I am just so blessed to be affiliated with THM, in my blog and my store. Truly a gift.
