Trim Healthy Tuesday Linked Posts Guidelines

  1. Accepted post topics will be: Trim Healthy Mama related recipes, kitchen tips, weekly menu, ‘how to’ articles, or exercise tips, and MODEST before and after photos may be attached to any of the above. Please do not link personal progress reports or non-THM recipes.
  2. You may post links from YOUR blog to recipes that are Trim Healthy Mama friendly. They can be S (satisfying), E (energizing), FP (Fuel Pull), or Crossovers. Please note which of these categories your recipe falls under. Nutrition information for your recipe is helpful, but not mandatory.
  3. Please respect the copyright of the book, and do not post recipes from the Trim Healthy Mama book on your blog. You MAY post recipes that you’ve changed up to make your own, but nothing verbatim from the book.
  4. Please link your post back to one of the hosting blogs above: Gwen’s Nest or Stacy Makes Cents. Your link will show up on both blogs! DO NOT LINK TO THE HOMEPAGE – instead link directly to this Trim Healthy Tuesday post: https://gwens-nest.com/?p=2644
  5. Please post no more than 3 links each week.
  6. Post new links from your blog each week – do not post the same link each week.
  7. You may include recipes with “Splenda” and other similar products or foods that are considered “compromise foods”, but please note that in the recipe, and either make them optional or offer substitutions for on plan items if possible. Please do not use ingredients that are off plan…like white potatoes.
  8. No giveaways or advertising-only type posts are allowed. You may post about cookbooks that you like and you may include affiliate links, but the post MUST be THM friendly. Example – posting about an eCookbook that you like is acceptable when telling how it can help with THM. Posting about a cookbook just so you can sell it is NOT acceptable.
  9. Any post that does not meet the guidelines outlined above will be considered Spam and will be deleted.
  10. Though it’s not required, it would be polite if you would link directly to the Trim Healthy Mama website in each of your posts – they’ve done so much to help us all, and we’d like to increase their traffic. www.trimhealthymama.com

    Well this got pinned faster than you can say “I love bacon.”

        I have to come back and give you a report 🙂 I served this for dinner last night (with bacon). My teenage son made a point of letting me know that this was a fantastic meal. And it nourished him nicely before he left for 2 hours of (exhausting) wrestling practice. Most definitely a HUGE success! Thanks!

          Thank you so much, Debbie! Adding bacon is just PERFECT. 🙂 And how in the world do you have a teenager?

            LOL, well, the numbers all add up… The picture on my blog of my boys and me is from 2007. Yes, we’re waaaaay overdue for some more pictures. Photographers are notorious for not being in pictures :).

    Just wanted to let you know that “Quesadilla” is spelled wrong above. It might be affecting your search results when people google quesadilla recipes. 🙁

    I have to tell you this was the biggest hit in our house. My son said “this is the best thing we have eaten on this healthy diet! Who wrote this recipe?” I told him Gwens Nest. He said, “That Gwen, she is smart and a good cook. We should always eat what she is eating!!” We loved it so much we ate it two days in a row!

    Is there any way I could make this cheese burger quesadilla an E meal

    Reply
    • Its_Gwen says

      May 18, 2014 at 12:54 AM

      That’s not really how it works. 🙂 It’s WAY more fun to enjoy this as an S meal, and stick with meals that have a good carb source (like beans or fruit, or bread) to enjoy your E’s. This post may help!

        I mean you CAN make it an E meal, if you use 96-99% lean turkey or chicken breast (which I find to be very dry) and low fat cheese, and omit the butter/frying. Then adding in fruit or a carb source as your dessert or side dish. Or you could use sprouted tortillas as your carb source instead of low carb tortillas.

        But that sort of sucks the joy out of the cheesy, buttery fried goodness that makes these so yummy! 🙂

    Dear Gwen, I love your blog! Thank you!!
    I can’t find sweet pickle relish – you mention that is essential in Cheesesburger Quesadilla and besides I love it in tuna salad. What brand do you buy or do you make it? I can order it online but want to know a good brand. Thanks!
