I recently ran across this movement called “Clean Eating”. As I researched it a bit I kind of chuckled to myself. Apparently we must put a label on eating healthy now because basically “clean eating” is just another way to say, eat organic, non-processed foods with more of a protein influence. I am sure there is more to it then that but from what I could tell this was the basics of it. I found a great website, www.cleaneatingmag.com, with tons of great clean eating recipes Most of the recipes from this plan link back to there. Everything we ate was DELSIH! You just can’t go wrong with good, healthy food! Even the brownies were a HUGE hit! YUM!!! Enjoy!
please note that all the wording in orange are links to check out, thanks!

Day Three

Put it all in a baking dish and baked at 370 degrees for 30-45 mins (till tender and juicy). Took it out, cooled for a few mins then stirred it up. It was AMAZING over the pancakes! YUM!

Natalie Mae,
I love your name. Thank your for sharing the story of your name change.
Next week I am going to try out your clean eating menu….I’m in the middle of having new flooring put in my house and so the chaos of change isn’t my best time to enjoy an experience of new ideas. I do love to cook, even if I am feeding just “me”.
Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate your comment! How exciting to get new flooring! I hope that soon you will have peace and calm on new beautiful floors. Let me know how the meal plan works for you. 🙂
