I live in rural PA. It’s at least half hour to a grocery store that sells fresh produce. And let’s face it. When we’re busy it’s sometimes difficult to carve out at least a hour and a half to make it to the store. (Half hour there and back, another half hour for shopping and check out.) Now there is… Read more »
I felt like a wild woman. Living on the edge. It may not sound crazy to anyone else but it did to me. Believe it or not this was my first time cooking with spinach. *Gasp* I know I’ve been eating pretty clean for a couple years nows but I’ve never cooked with spinach. I eat spinach. Typically with a… Read more »
“What is a 7 Day Clean Eating Challenge?” you may ask. Well let me tell you. It’s a group that meets primarily on Facebook. We “meet” in a closed group. Only people who have been added to the group by can see posts or comments made by other members of the group. During this group, we have made the decision to… Read more »
Let’s face it! Most mornings are super busy and we don’t always have time to fix something nutritious. I love to make up a big batch of these Egg Muffins for those kinds of mornings. I can keep them in the fridge or they freeze well for a quick heat up. I like my freezer stocked with some quick grab… Read more »
I haven’t been a spaghetti squash person for very long. A friend brought me some a few months back (she had gotten some from someone else )and just wanted to share her love of this interesting food. I tried it two ways that night and was like, “eh.” Not bad but not especially good. Well then I got an urgent… Read more »
We once got a whole case/box of banana given to us. Other than the benefits to our budget, it was good because I got to experiment with bananas. I tried some different recipes but I won’t go into that now. I also tried freezing them in different ways. It may sound crazy but by trying out so many ways at… Read more »
Let me make it clear that I’m not saying don’t exercise. I’m saying… Don’t exercise for weight loss! I’ve had to rethink my purpose for exercising. When I first started this very focused journey, I invested in an exercise program. Because I spent the money I think that helped me really take it seriously. I was so focused that for… Read more »
TACO NIGHT!!!! Yes, I just yelled that with enthusiasm. One of our favorite meals around here is tacos. I think it’s because we can all make it just the way we like it. Darling Daughter likes a soft taco shell with meat, just a little lettuce, cheese, banana peppers, and hot sauce. My Boy likes a soft taco shell with… Read more »
Snacks! Snacks! Snacks! If you have kids you know you NEED snacks. Now I hope you’ve read my cleaner eating philosophy because what I’m about to show you is not a true clean eating snack. If you are farther along on your own clean eating journey than I am then you might substitute in some different nuts or more dried fruit… Read more »
I stand on the side lines. I watch. I encourage and I cheer. Darling Daughter is going to participate in a 5K next weekend. I’m super proud of her. She runs cross country during the season but during the off season she doesn’t have much motivation to go out on her own. I completely understand. Today her aunt came over to take… Read more »
