Coconut Cake

Coconut Cake
Let's talk about Coconut Cake!

I made the Coconut Cake from Trim Healthy Indulgence for my mother for her surprise 80th Birthday Party.  She was a music teacher and still loves music and playing the piano, so she is still giving piano lessons at 80 years young.  

My mother, Donalyn, has been eating healthily for 17 years, but it's only been a couple of years since she started eating the Trim Healthy Mama way because she saw how much THM benefited me.  

I made her a Trim Healthy Mama cake in the shape of a grand piano, homemade vanilla ice cream, and THM chocolate syrup.

Give me all the details!

First up, you can find the Coconut Cake recipe on page 47 of the Trim Healthy Indulgence book. You can order a copy HERE (remember to use my discount code!)

Here is the cake in the shape of a grand piano:

Step 1 - Batter
Watch this video as I start whipping up the cake batter:

Here are what the piano cake pans look like.  I've had mine for 30 years!

Step 2 - Heating the Oil
Next, let's put the cup of coconut oil in the pans in the oven as it's heating up.
 Check how I do that here: Step 2 - Coconut Oil

Melting the coconut oil in the pan and then swishing it around to reach the edges really helps the cake from sticking.  After coating the pan with oil, I poured the coconut oil into the mixer with the rest of the ingredients.

Step 3 - Batter into Pans
Let's put the batter into the pan now.
Watch the video here: Step 3 - batter into pans
I filled three cupcakes with the leftover batter, placed them in the oven at 350 degrees, and set the time for 30 minutes.

Step 4 - Cooling
I poked the cake with a toothpick after 30 minutes to see if it was done and it was!  I pulled the cake out of the oven and tipped it upside down onto a pampered chef pad.  I let it cool for about 30 minutes and then this happened:

Step 5 - Assembling and Frosting
As the cakes cool, I made the Russian Buttercream Frosting,
 page 225, from Trim Healthy Indulgence.

Now, let's assemble the cake.  Here are my 30-year-old piano cake decorations:

I took a large spatula and put it under the largest piano cake to lift it onto the piano pedestal. Then I added the frosting.


Now it's time to frost the smaller layer of the piano cake and add it on top of the bottom layer. I added the final decorations and Presto! it's done!


Here are my mother and I with the Coconut Piano Cake:

My mom loved the piano cake and so did all the guests!  It wasn't that hard to do, it was delicious and healthy, and the guests loved it!

Here is how I ate the leftovers the next morning:

I love having dessert for breakfast with a THM sipper.
I had leftover THM Cranberry Wassail with it.

I put the leftovers cut into individual serving sizes and put them in a glass pan in my freezer for a day that I need dessert. You could wrap them in parchment paper first. 
 I don't use aluminum foil or plastic containers, so toxins don't leach into my healthy food and get in my body.

Strawberry Cake

Strawberry Cake
It's Strawberry Cake time! 

I threw my precious mother an 80th birthday party and made her a heart-shaped pink and red strawberry cake.  This cake is sugar-free, gluten-free, and completely healthy and delicious!  You can find this recipe on page 65 of Trim Healthy Indulgence.

Let's Make the Strawberry Cake Together!

Step 1 - Batter
Watch this video where I show you step-by-step how to whip this batter together. 
It's quick, simple, and easy!

Step 2 - Your Baking Tray
Here I show you which tray I use and how I add the batter.
It's really not complicated - You can do it too!

Step 3 - Bake!
Bake your cake for 30 - 35 minutes at 350 degrees


When it's done, use a toothpick to test it. If the toothpick comes out clean, it's ready! Transfer your cake onto a cooling rack and let it cool before you go on to the next step.



Step 4 - Frosting
Now, let's make the frosting!

Use the recipe for the Strawberry Cake Frosting, page 65, from Trim Healthy Indulgence. Take a look at the video below to see what it looks like, and for the clever hack I use to get the perfect pink color!

Step 5 - Decorating
Now that the cake is baked and the frosting is made, we need some decorations!
My favorite decoration for this cake is simply sliced strawberries.
All you need to do is cut the tops of the strawberries and then slice them down.
I show you how I do mine here:

Step 6 - Time to Frost
Everything is ready and it's time to assemble the cake! This cake is only one layer, so I can just add the frosting straight onto the cake. Take a look at the video to see what tool I use to make this super quick and effective.

Next, use your strawberries to line the outer rim of the heart shape. You can also use some to make patterns on the top. Here is how I did mine:
This cake was absolutely delicious! 

 I also made my mother a grand piano-shaped cake using the Coconut Cake recipe on page 47 of Trim Healthy Indulgence

 If you would like to see a video blog of how I did that, visit

I have also made a carrot cake with cream cheese frosting in the shape of a cross, and I have video instructions of how to do that here:

A Sip of Paradise

A Sip of Paradise

I'm all about drinks that are super fast, healthy, quench my thirst, and remind me of paradise, palm trees, and the tropics!

Let's introduce the Bird of Paradise Sipper!

You can sip on this all day long. 
You may want to make it in bulk as your family will sneak your drink
 because it's so delightful!

This sipper is fast because you only need limes, a healthy sweetener, and coconut flavor.
Let's look at what limes do for you.


My favorite coconut flavor can be found here:

What I love about TH sippers is that they hydrate you without unnecessary calories, keep you satisfied between meals and give you a health boost. 

Look what happens when you're dehydrated:
THM has a lot of bird name sippers. 
 This Bird of Paradise is not an actual bird, but an ornamental plant native to South Africa. The plant is grown outdoors in warm climates and as a houseplant for its attractive foliage and unusual flowers.  It unfurls boldly tinted blooms that resemble birds in flight. 

A healthy, mature plant can produce up to 36 flower spikes each year.
Birds of paradise flowers last for about three weeks before dropping their petals and dying. 

My husband gifted me these two Bird of Paradise plants because he knows how much I love the Trim Healthy lifestyle and is aware of their bird-themed sippers. 

Let's make the sip of paradise together!

This sipper is a cousin to the famous lemon sipper

If you need help with your adrenals, this sipper was created with you in mind!  It healed my adrenals in 2013, and it is super refreshing!

 Blessings,

Salt of the Earth

Salt of the Earth

I hope this salt lesson will change your mind and not leave you feeling salty!
  I am going to share all the reasons that the right salt can change your life!  The word salt in Greek is halas and describes the salt we use in our kitchens.  Salt is a common household item now, but in New Testament times, salt was expensive and a treasured commodity that was crucial and needed in the home.  High-quality salt could only be found in a few places in Israel like the Hill of Salt and in the Dead Sea. Gathering the salt was an expensive process, which made salt very costly.  Salt was a commodity so rare that it was used sparingly, highly valued, and not wasted. 

Let's learn why salt was so precious back in Bible times.

1:  Salt was used as a flavor enhancer.
Salt is one of the most profound taste enhancers in our culinary world. It's vital in our kitchens.  Unsalted food is bland, but when salt is added, the flavor is enhanced giving the food a richer and stronger flavor.  

2:  Salt was used as a preservative.
In Israel, it was hot, so the meat would spoil and rot quickly.  
Salt was added to preserve the food.  
Did you know that unsalted butter will go bad faster than salted butter?

3:  Salt was used as an antiseptic.
Disease and dirt were very common in the ancient world. Salt was used as an antiseptic in areas that were considered contaminated or unclean.  Salt in heavy doses would work like a disinfectant to sterilize the environments that needed to be cleansed or to be germ-free to prevent the spreading of disease.  Salt was such a powerful cleansing force that the ancient world believed it would assist in freeing the area of infection.

4:  Salt was used as a medicinal and healing agent.
Salt used to be poured into wounds to sanitize them from germs, stop bleeding, stop the spread of infection, and speed up the healing process.  Salt contained healing properties in a world where medications were rare, so salt was found in the medical bag of doctors.

5: Salt was used as a fertilizer.
Salt was an important ingredient used by farmers to enrich and fertilize their soil to produce larger crops and of higher quality. It improved the soil and resulted in healthier and bigger crops.  The best salt nourished the earth.

Let's look at more benefits of sea salt today!


I hope you understand this special salt is not your ordinary white table salt.

 Let's look at how to buy your salt.

You can purchase Trim Healthy high mineral salt here:

Redmond salt is simple and doesn't contain any artificial additives or unhealthy pollutants. It's not stripped of beneficial trace minerals. It's sea salt the way nature made it - nothing is added and nothing is taken away. It is unrefined sea salt mined from an ancient seabed where it's safe from modern pollutants. It's pure, unprocessed, and full of trace minerals that give it one-of-a-kind nutritional benefits.


Now, let's look at what the "you are the salt of the earth"  verse means in Matthew.

1:  Salt as a flavor enhancer.
Our personal presence should also change the flavor of society as we bring the savor of Christ to wherever we go.

2:  Salt as a preservative.
Through our influence, we should be a preserving force in a world that is filled with rot, decay, and spoil. God's word working in our lives causes us to be like salt and our presence helps reduce the corruption that is eating away at the world.

3:  Salt as an antiseptic.
We are called to be spiritual antiseptic to a world that is diseased with sin.  Even a small dose of spiritual salt we carry within ourselves is a powerful disinfecting agent that if scattered in your world will help deter the spread of sin and moral decay.

4:  Salt as a medicinal and healing agent.
We should be carriers of physical healing to a world that is suffering from sickness and disease.  Be the salt of the earth to help carry healing to those who are struggling physically.

5: Salt as a fertilizer.
Salt of the earth translates as the salt of the soil.  We are to enrich the soil and atmosphere around us by making this world a better place to live by positively impacting the quality of life for those around us.

When you are seasoned with salt, you will speak --
Words that flavor life and make it taste better.
Words that bring preservation.
Words that bring healing to the sick.
Words that disinfect and free those who were contaminated.
Words that are so faith-filled, they create a blessed environment around us.

Charity's tips for Real Salt:
1:  Drink Salt water first thing in the morning.
2:  Put salt in all your TH sippers.
3: Drink salt water before your workout.
4:  Add salt liberally to enhance your food.

Do you need an electrolyte drink?  
Here is my favorite, but with an added 1/4 tsp of real salt:

Hypertension and high blood pressure are not a real salt intake problem.
  It's a salt retention problem.  Salt retention happens in the kidneys which is driven by excess insulin.  Lowering insulin by getting sugar, refined carbs, and devitalized foods out of your diet will improve your blood pressure and blood sugar levels. If you would like to learn more about this, I have step-by-step actions you can take in my Firm Foundation course that will teach you how to transform your everyday kitchen products, like salt, into an extraordinary mind and body.  

I encourage you all:
Don't forget to add mineral salt to your diet... and don't forget to be salt in the world!

Blessings,
