May Trim Healthy Mama Menu
Here’s a new THM menu for May
I can’t believe that May is already here. It feels like I just made the April menu. When I make these menus, I try to make them match the season, family friendly, and easy dinners. As the temperatures get hotter, you won’t have soup on the menu. I like to use the grill a lot more and my crockipot or instant pot. I use the oven, just not very much. When it’s 100 degrees outside, who wants to heat up their house?
Every Tuesday is a Mexican inspired meal to keep up the flavors of taco Tuesday.
Every Friday is a grill recipe and Mondays utilize the crockpot so you can prep it over the weekend. Meal prep is something that is essential for me staying on plan. When I don’t take time to meal prep, I usually struggle as the week goes on and end up with less than good choices. Usually Sunday is the day I usually do the prep but I would prefer Saturday. If you have room, you can put your crockpot crock in the fridge and just pull it out Monday morning and then put it in the base. Here is one way I have meal prepped in the past. When I do this, my week is normally very successful.
I list after the recipe whether it is an s or an e.
Every recipe is special ingredient free as well. I try to make my menus so someone new to trim healthy mama can easily follow along. I have a tip for cauliflower rice. I keep cooking and adding liquid until the rice is soft. When I cook it this way, even my cauliflower hating teen will eat it. Every time I cook it his way, there are no complaints! If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I hope this at least gives you some dinner inspiration.

Thank you for the menu, needed more options. I do have a question, how many E meals should you have during the week. I started back on the THM and haven’t noticed a change. I was following the plan prior to COVID and then my girls came home from college because of the shut downs and menus went in a different direction. I don’t drink soft drinks and eat very little bread while on the plan for the last 4 weeks and nothing. What do you suggest.
