Hey all!

I've started a (very) clean diet but I'm finding I'm running out of recipes and cooking ideas. Taking a browse here I've come across some interesting ingredients that can be used. I'm aiming to have very low/zero carb dinners unless it's beans or something and saw some of those bean-pastas that some people have used.

Any suggestions for a ingredient list I should get perhaps? Just trying to think of ways to keep my food and meals fresh and exciting so I won't be tempted to reach for that unhealthy item.

Thanks everyone!

    Since I eat most of my carbs earlier in the day, my dinners are a veggie/protein combo. Of course, veggies have some carbs in them, but I'm okay with that. One of my favorites - Zippy Kale Stirfry

    Ingredients
    1 Tbsp virgin coconut oil
    1 onion, thinly sliced
    1 red bell pepper, sliced
    1 can (398mL) diced tomatoes
    1 can (398mL) chickpeas (OR paleo option – 2 sliced/sauted chicken breasts)
    1-inch piece of ginger, grated
    1 tsp turmeric spice powder
    dash of red chilli peppers
    1 bunch of washed kale, torn into pieces

    Directions
    Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet.
    Saute onions and peppers until onions are transparent, about 5 minutes.
    Add diced tomatoes with juices and chickpeas (OR paleo option – 2 sliced/sauted chicken breasts) along with the grated ginger, turmeric spice powder, sea salt and red chilli peppers. Mix everything together well.
    Add kale and heat just until wilted and bright green.
