Today is Day 3 of the Clean Food Challenge hosted by The Naptown Organizer. I wanted to give a report from both yesterday and today. If you have time, stop by and visit the other participants–I’ve listed them at the end of this post! If you recall, in my first post about this challenge, I [...]
As you all know, I’m taking part in the Gluten-Free Cleanse this month. It started Monday, and concludes on March 28. This week, I’m also taking part in a clean food challenge, hosted by The Naptown Organizer. The goal of the clean food challenge is to eat whole foods for a week–cutting out processed, crappy [...]
I’m working with a nutritionist this week, and she’s having me start my days with green smoothies. I was completely revolted by the idea of drinking what (in my mind) amounted to a blended-up salad for breakfast, especially since I prefer to start my days with pop tarts, sugary cereal, etc. But I thought I’d [...]
I adapted this recipe from the August/September 2011 Clean Eating magazine. It turned out so well that it’s now going into our rotation of go-to recipes for a healthy, really delicious dinner that didn’t take much effort to make. Eric and I ate this for a filling dinner this weekend, as well as a very [...]
Well, at 37.5 weeks pregnant, I finally feel like cooking again. And I finally have hit a point where I don’t feel like eating only junk! Amazing! So far this week, Eric has made cheeseburgers and Challah French Toast (recipe & pics to come soon). I’ve also made a macaroni & cheese casserole to freeze [...]
I’ll start this by acknowledging that I’m the world’s worst sous chef. Seriously. After making this pilaf tonight, I’m a heck of a lot more thankful I’m married to a man who is great at “finely dicing” all sorts of veggies. Because as good as it looks, there is a TON of large onion pieces [...]
This was a tasty recipe from Clean Eating. We loved it, but decided that a little chicken would have made it a complete dish on its own. So we’re trying that tonight! The recipe below includes my variations. 1 c. quick cooking barley 1 c. parsley, finely chopped handful of walnut pieces, chopped 2 peaches, [...]
I’ve wanted to try quinoa for some time. I even went so far as to buy some. I just never got around to cooking it. A few weeks ago, we were trying to figure out what to cook with the beets from our CSA. So I made quinoa with them. Here’s how I did it: [...]
This year, one of my goals was to make the best use of our grocery budget, given my time constraints with work and other commitments. As I set out to achieve this goal, I realized that I could easily make some foods at home that we eat a lot of. The primary foods that fall [...]
Eric and I try to write out our meal plan for the week before the week starts, so that we can get a head start on prep work and only need to make one trip to the grocery/farmer’s market each week. Since we’ve started getting our CSA veggies each week (more posts to come this [...]
