Zucchini Pizza Poppers You know it is early July around here when you hear firecrackers popping outside and the gardens are overflowing with zucchini. Don't save these treats for holidays though. They would be great any time of year. They are especially good now because you don't have to heat the big oven. You did buy a cake pop machine like I told you to so long ago, right? I have to give a shout out to the gardeners in my life. I named these poppers for the Independence Day here in the States.

Stevia Sweet Juice Concentrate & Trim Healthy Mama - The New Lighter Life For the past 3 months I’ve been eating Trim Healthy Mama (THM) style. And I LOVE IT! Since THM is about low/no sugar I needed to learn how to incorporate stevia (which is usually bitter) into my diet in a palatable way to help feed the sweet tooth monster. So why is this post about Stevia? Well I’m finally getting there… Since THM has you cut out sugar, (even honey and maple syrup while you are trying to lose weight) what can you use for a sweetener? I HatED Stevia Before this plan I really did, it had such a bitter fake aftertaste and I couldn’t stand it. Even the good (expensive) stuff that people promise is better, such as Sweet Leaf Stevia left my teas wanting the real thing. The plan recommends NuNaturals Pure Stevia Extract. Just make sure you buy the PURE Stevia Extract powder that has no fillers or added ingredients. But even when I put NuNatural’s powdered stevia in my food, it was gross. I hadn’t either. Below is how I make my Stevia SJC. That’s it.
