I'm excited to be posting some of my recipes tonight. I had really hoped to be getting this blog going in January, but it just got away from me. So here we are Feb, is my fresh start.
My goal for the recipes is to keep them clean. If you're not familiar with 'Clean Eating' there are a ton of great resources out there. The main idea is to not eat anything out of it's "natural" state. No more of this preservatives, sodium filled, not sure what I'm really eating junk. It's about eating food the way it was intended to be eaten.
I myself am still learning the ropes. You'll find I will probably make side comments where I'm cheating the cleanliness of the recipe. I either have a stock pile of the unclean ingredient that I don't want to waste, or I just have not found a clean substitute that I enjoy eating (ex; whole wheat pasta is not tasty to me). I'm cheating myself in the end, but I'm hoping in due time I can be 100% clean on my cooking.
I've always enjoyed cooking, but when I discovered clean eating it has almost become a challenge for me. I always complain that I want something healthy for dinner. So many times the so called healthy choices we make aren't always that healthy. This is the kind of healthy I've always been searching for and didn't know existed. I can eat some of my favorite meals and not feel guilty about the unknown ingredients.
A word of advice: For anyone wanting to go clean, for me it is a process. You'll find there are A LOT of ingredients you've never heard of or don't know where to buy. As I mentioned above there is no need to dump you whole pantry of food, start slow. I usually try one or two new recipes a week that require one or two new ingredients that I can stock my pantry with.
Well I hope you enjoy some of these recipes as much as my belly has :)
XoXo,
Jessy
