![]() Explanations of all the new-to-you ingredients and where to find them.Roundups of easy, beginner-level recipes.Helpful links to posts that answer all your questions. ![]() A quick summary of Trim Healthy Mama and its various books.I’m not going to fill this post with Amazon ads to all my favorite products, but if you would like comprehensive lists of ingredients from various companies that I shop from, head over to my Starting THM page. I plan to post a few follow-up lists to this one dealing with more specific niches like “family favorite entrees made healthy” and maybe a more generic “favorite recipe made healthy,” so follow along on Facebook if you want to have a chance to suggest foods for next time! To make sure you never miss a blog post (since Facebook doesn’t show my posts to nearly everyone that follows the page!), you can subscribe to my blog via email using the header at the top of the page. I guarantee that you’ll like the results. Create a new normal and you will be far more content with what you’re eating. After 4 years of a healthier eating lifestyle, I have come to prefer many of these substitutions to their “real” counterparts, because the “fake” stuff actually tastes more real than the “real” stuff! Quality trumps normal if you have an open mind. The key is to learn to appreciate them for what they are. Some (or maybe more honestly, most) healthy substitutions will never fool you into thinking that they are what they aren’t. I’ve never been a fan of pretending that something tastes like the real thing when it doesn’t. One very important thing I’d like to clarify right off the bat is that when you change to a new way of eating, you have to keep an open mind…and open taste buds. I know it sounds intimidating to some of you with little prior cooking experience, but trust me when I say that that was me 4 years ago when I was just starting this blog! Even now, I’m only 21 years old and don’t have nearly as much experience as many of you, but anyone can experiment, and the more you practice, the more you learn. Experimentation is really where it’s at, folks. If I haven’t tried something, chances are that someone else has! Even if you don’t find a cut-and-dried answer to your question, hopefully the information you find here will at least point you in the right direction so you can find some answers for yourself with some further experimentation. ![]() I was blown away by the overwhelming response on that post! I sure don’t have personal experience for everything you asked for, but I’ve compiled a huge list of basic ingredient substitutions with the help of my blogging buddies. If you follow my blog on Facebook, you may have participated in the thread I posted the other day asking for the TOP ingredient you have a hard time replacing when you’re trying to make a recipe fit the Trim Healthy Mama plan.
