My husband and I live in Northern Indiana with our two sons. Love having a garden so we are able to can green beans and tomatoes, freeze sweet corn, pumpkin puree, and zucchini. I love to cook and try new recipes. I try to make out a monthly menu and stick to it as much as possible...I use a list of our favorite recipes new and old so we aren't tempted to eat out quite so much..it works for us.
I recently lost 35 lbs with Trim Healthy Mama. I hope to find some THM friendly recipes here.
