Trim Healthy Mama

I have never heard of Trim Healthy Mama, or THM, as it is often referred to in the cookbook. I am interested in finding healthful meals for my family so I found the title of the book interesting. However, I immediately felt like I had joined a group of people that had been together for years and didn't quite get their inside jokes. There was no introduction to the authors and the book immediately jumped to serving sizes, portions, and knowing the plan. There is also a list of ingredients to round up, like mineral salt, integral collagen, pristine whey protein, and suggestions for fake sugar. I love to cook and make dinner every night and quite often make desserts and treats, but this book made my head swim trying to figure out how I could make some of these recipes using all-purpose flour and traditional sugar. All of this is to say I don't think this book was written for me since I am not interested in the Trim Healthy Mama Plan. 
However, this is a huge cookbook and I was able to find quite a few meals that my family would like with only a little tweaking. The pictures are beautiful and the book is filled with family stories of how the sisters developed the recipes and how their family enjoys them. 

I received this book from Blogging for Books, but the opinions are my own.
