Cooking - THM Meal Plan for 04/11/2016 - 04/17/2016

     Having a meal plan helps me stay on track of many thing. One is my diet. Knowing what I need to grab for the day, is a huge help for a busy working mom that is running out the door. It also helps me stay on budget for the week. I can make one trip to the store and be able to cook for the week. It is a huge help. It also keeps me sane. I have so much going on. If I have a menu, I'm not think what am I cooking tonight for dinner.

Cooking -Trim Healthy Mama's Menu ~ Meal Plan for 11/04/2014 -11/9/2014

My new cookbook

 

  I love looking at new cookbooks and finding new recipes to cook for my family. I am one of those people that don't want to have the same thing over and over and cooking is something I enjoy. My mother in law saw this cookbook, and thought of me and my hubby right away. There are recipes in this book that date back to the early 1900s which I think is so cool. 

My Trim Healthy Mama Book

     Now because I'm still following the Trim Healthy Mama (THM) Lifestyle, I will be changing the recipe a little bit to fit that way of eating. You will see crossing my menu, because somethings I feel like just don't taste as good if you don't change it. You will see my menu labeled as a THM, but know that my kids always eat a full meal so if it's an E I'm always adding a side to the meal like cheese or cream cheese something like that. If it's an S , I normally add a health E fruit to this meal so it ends up being a full meal for the little ones. 

      Here's what we're cooking this week!
