    Free Guide! Feed a Family on a Low Carb Diet

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    Anyone who's been following my blog for any length of time knows that the majority of recipes I create are low carb or Trim Healthy Mama S recipes. I do eat a moderate amount of carbs according to the THM plan but my low fat, good carb meals tend to be very simple.

    I'm a lover of all types of fruit so lean meat or cottage cheese for protein plus fruit is my typical THM E meal. I try to avoid grains most of the time so that does narrow down my E choices. I just feel better when I am grain free.

    The best part about this Cumin Chicken Black Bean Corn Salsa is that you still have some leftover healthy carbs to use in your E meal. Feel free to pair it with some green veggies and baked tortilla chips or a small fruit salad.

    But I do love a good black bean based E meal. My friend Daria first brought over a version of this salsa a few summers ago. Three adults and a handful of kids polished off a big bowl of it. Since then it has been my husband's favorite summer side dish. It's one of the few things he will go to the store, buy all the ingredients for, and then come home and make. Daria puts avocado in hers but even though I like avocado I prefer this without.

    This black bean corn salsa is also great with baked tortilla chips. That is how my kids like to eat it.

    You can also serve it with a side of Gluten Free Sprouted Bread.
