My THM Menu Plan for August 19

I have been cooking through the Trim Healthy Table Cookbook since the beginning of the year. I am starting to run out of recipes to try! So as a treat to myself I am going to take a break for the month of July and use some recipes of fellow bloggers and a few other books I have on hand. I am getting a little burned out on cooking through the cookbooks. I cooked my way through the Trim Healthy Mama cookbook last year. So I am not new to the game of cooking through a cookbook.

I also haven't included a shopping list in a long time. My computer decided to die a while back and it isn't easy to write up a shopping list etc without all my fancy tools. I finally got my computer back so I can start. But I am still playing catch up with a few other areas in my life, mainly my garden, so once I am "caught up" (ha ha) I will start to include them.

With gardening in full swing I will soon have as many greens as I can EAT! I can't wait for my summer menu to start!

Just for fun this week I used Cookie Crum Fun's Menu planner. Go check it out. Its super adorable!

This week I am using some blogger recipes that I will link AND THIS cookbook for the recipes. I bought it a while ago at the $ Tree. They are NOT THM friendly. I am going to be tweaking the recipes to make them THM friendly as you can see. I am also using a few THM Cookbook recipes to fill in the gaps.

I eat seasonally because I garden extensively. My dad has graciously given me a large garden space that I put to good use!
