Clean Eating!
 About a year ago, an acquaintance from work mentioned a magazine she was a big fan of, Clean Eating Magazine. I hadn't though much of it since then, until I came across their website when searching for healthy recipes. I started reading it, and borrowed a few magazines, and was very impressed! It's really just about eating foods that are real, and as close to their original form as is feasible. As any reader of my blog will know, that's what I've been striving for in my quest to re-learn how to cook.This week I'm starting to try the recipes. Everything I'm making is a Clean Eating recipe: Healthy Turkey Meatloaf with Turnip Cauliflower Mash Moroccan Grilled Chicken with Cherry and Bulgar Salad Garlicky Spinach and Ricotta Dip Sausage, Kale and Potato Frittata (calls for purple potatoes but there weren't any this week at the market).  One of the things I really love about the recipes so far, is when I make up my grocery list for the week, there are only about a dozen things on it! Since it's real food, part of the recipes are what I already have in my pantry or fridge. Whoever said eating healthy is expensive, must have been eating very cheap "food"! I bought a decent-sized bag of spinach grown here in Ontario at the market today, for a dollar! I love summer!! I think more people would eat healthfully the majority of the time, if the healthy food was tasty. I don't think most people would choose foods which were harmful to them, if they had just as tasty healthy choices. I'm very excited about this. The discovery of Clean Eating has come at a perfect time for me. The past four years have been spent learning what is healthy, and getting healthy. 60+ pounds have been released, and now I'm learning that eating really healthfully the majority of the time, doesn't have to mean calorie counting and giving up anything. I'm looking forward to trying the recipes each week, and expanding my horizons!  On a different tack, but sort of related, I was at the health food store today buying tahini, and saw that they sell sprouters! And even better, they sell small sprouters! I like the idea of those big 4-deck ones, but realistically there's no way they'd all get consumed, even if I was sharing. Fortunately, they also had a smaller and much cheaper version. I'd read about how healthy sprouts are before. But those spouts you buy in the grocery stores, the ones in the plastic containers, just don't appeal that much. They're just one kind of sprout, they've been sitting who knows how long on the shelf, they only last a short time in the fridge before going bad, and they're in plastic containers! How can I try to live as healthy as I can, while spoiling the Earth? That just don't jive man!! The small sprouters are plastic, yes, but they're re-usable, unlike the packaging on store bought sprouts. Anyway, sprouts are nutritional powerhouses! I love that growing them myself would make them even more nutritious, since they're so fresh and haven't lost their nutrients. I have no idea which ones I'll like, and which ones I'll loathe (lol), but I'm sure I'll benefit from them after I buy my wee sprouter next week! Whoo hoo!!  related searches : Clean Eating
