Cookbook Review: Trim Healthy Mama Cookbook

They include some discussion on portion sizes, kitchen tools you may find helpful and some special mention foods. The intro is super informative and gives you an idea of what to expect in recipes. So many of the recipes sound yummy! There is Wicked White Chili, Buttah Chicken, Chicken Jalapeno Popper Soup and even some yummy homemade granola recipes!

So many have had great results with T
