Recipe Features Numbered
This is the top part of a recipe card as found in any recipe post on my website.

Recipe Card

1. Title

Pretty obvious. This is the title of the recipe.

2. Star Rating

This shows how many stars a particular recipe has been given by those who have rated it.

If you enjoyed one of my recipes, I would be thrilled if you left me a star rating! To do this, scroll down to the comments section. Click on one of the stars and leave a comment as you normally might (you can simply say “Love it,” give a more detailed commentary, explain what you served with it, or whatever you like). Once you’re done, submit the comment/review.

comment rating

3. Summary

This is just a short description of the recipe. Because Google likes this.

4. Buttons

  • Pin Recipe. Pin the recipe post to Pinterest.
  • Save Recipe. Save the recipe to your online Recipe Box.
  • Print Recipe. Print the recipe.

5. Diets & Fuel Source

Diets. Most of my recipes are versatile and fit in with many diets or other lifestyles besides THM. To help you identify these diets, I provide a label that lists them with acronyms. Here are what these acronyms stand for:

recipe keyrecipe key 2

Dairy Free

Nut Free

Egg Free

Paleo

Gluten Free

Sugar Free

Keto

Vegan

Low Carb

Vegetarian

Low Fat

Whole30

Fuel Source. All of my recipes are Trim Healthy Mama (THM) approved. Since this is the case, I have added the Fuel Source label so that you can quickly and easily identify what fuel type each recipe falls under. Here are what the acronyms by this label stand for (you can learn more by reading the Trim Healthy Mama book or by visiting my Trim Healthy Mama overview).

description2
Satisfying - Healthy fats as primary fuel source, low in carbs.
S-Helper - Healthy fats as primary fuel source, a little higher in carbs.

Energizing - Healthy carbs as primary fuel source, low in fat.

Fuel Pull - Lower in both healthy carbs and healthy fats.

Crossover - Higher in both healthy fats and healthy carbs.

6. Times

In a time crunch and need a recipe that’s ready in a certain amount of time? This feature is for you. Recipes share the approximate Prep, Cook, and/or Total time they take to make.

did you know...

7. Course & Cuisine

  • Course. Tells what meal the recipe is good for such as Breakfast, Dinner, or Dessert.
  • Cuisine. Tells what nationality the cuisine is inspired by such as American or Italian. I mainly include this because Google likes it, but I’m sure some readers like it too.

8. Servings & Calories

  • Servings. This lets you know how many people the recipe serves. If you need to adjust this amount, you can increase or decrease it and the ingredients will automatically adjust as well (click on the number to adjust it).
  • Calories. This is helpful for some diets, but not so much in others. With THM and keto, for example, calories don’t really mean much. But Google likes this label, so it’s there.

9. Unit Conversion

Switch from US units to Metric by clicking on one or the other.

10. Double or Triple

These buttons quickly and easily double or triple the recipe for you.

11. Checkboxes

The ingredients have handy checkboxes that, when selected, cross out the ingredients. This way you can keep track of what you’ve already added to your dish.

12. Cook Mode

If you’re using your device to read and use the recipe, it gets pretty annoying when the screen goes dark while you’re in the middle of dinner. Toggle on Cook Mode and it will keep your device’s screen from going dark.

Nutrition

nutrition
This is the bottom part of a recipe card as found in any recipe post on my website.

Towards the bottom of each recipe card is a list with that recipe’s basic Nutrition Facts (helpful for diets that need to focus on numbers). These nutrition facts are based off the specific ingredients that I used when I made the final recipe so may vary slightly based on brands and types that you use (as well as tweaks that you make).

Diet Buttons

By the title of each recipe post are circular diet buttons. These also indicate the diets that the recipe works with (see above under “Diets & Fuel Source” for the acronym translations).

Doonk

One measurement that is occasionally used in some of my recipes (especially when using THM stevia) is a doonk. This is a made-up term by the Trim Healthy Mama creators Pearl and Serene. When you purchase THM stevia, you have the option of also getting a free doonk measuring spoon/scoop. Or you can buy a set of 5 doonk scoops or a nice stainless steel one with the THM measuring spoons.

One doonk equals 1/32 teaspoon. A wee pinch will do.
