Clean Eating Recipes

The trainer at the gym said if a product has more than 5 items on the label, do not use it, if it has anything you can't pronounce don't use it, and most of all stick with fresh as often as possible.

I would love to see more main course ideas. I get tired of the same old things. However, I work full time, don't get home until around 6pm, after spending time outside to get a little fresh air and exercise, it could be 7:30 before I get in to even think of dinner. I need easy, quick ideas for eating clean/healthy. The other issue is my husband is not only a picky eater, he has stomach issues and can't have any thing with any spice to it. I love spicey foods, but don't have time to make 2 separate meals. As it is he makes PB&J way to much, because he doesn't like what I made for dinner.

Any ideas here?

Veggie Quiches
4 chopped organic mushrooms (I prefer portabellos)
1 sliced organic red bell pepper
1 sliced green bell pepper
1 sliced yellow bell pepper
¼ Sm organic onions
1 10oz pkg frozen chopped organic spinach, thawed
1 cup free range egg whites ( approximate 6 eggs worth)
1 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp salt (or to taste) I probably use ¼ tsp of sea salt
½ tsp pepper
¼ shredded organic cheddar cheese
Serves 12- 1 quiche each

1. Preheat oven to 350* degrees. Coat a twelve muffin cups with canola spray. Chop, mushrooms, bell peppers and onion.
2. Sautee over medium-high heat mushrooms, bell peppers and onion until onion is translucent this makes them more sweet (original recipe does not call for this step I added it in)- remove from heat set aside and let cool for a few minutes
3. Squeeze and drain spinach until as dry as possible.
4. Combine chopped veggies and spinach with egg whites salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix well with a wooden spoon. Scoop with a ¼ cup of egg and veggie mixture into prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle eache with some cheese. Bake 20 minutes or until quiche are puffed and light brown, and a table knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes.

kaylindeschan - WOW!! thanks so much for sharing all those wonderful recipes. I was so excited to see alternatives to some things I've been struggling to find realistic ingredients for, realistic and not something wierdo and yucky in the end. I will add them to my recipe collection.

Bumping! These look delicious!

INGREDIENTS
¼ pizza dough
¼ cup tomato sauce (I used Eden Organic)
100g mushrooms, sliced
¼ green bell pepper, diced
200g beef from top round, ground
½ tsp onion powder
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp fennel seeds, crushed
Pinch Himalayan or fine sea salt
¼ tsp freshly cracked black pepper
100g light mozzarella cheese, grated
4 tbsp sliced green olives

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 500F.
In a small non-stick pan that’s been preheated over medium-high heat, add ground beef, onion powder, garlic powder, crushed fennel seeds, salt and pepper and cook until beef turns nice and golden brown.
Transfer the beef to a plate or bowl and add the mushrooms to the hot pan; cook until golden on both sides.
Turn off the heat and reserve.
On a well-floured surface (I like to use cornmeal), roll the pizza dough into a thin 10-12 inch disc and lay it on a baking sheet.
Spread tomato sauce evenly on the dough; top with mushrooms and half the bell peppers; add ¾ of the mozzarella cheese, followed by the ground beef, the rest of the bell peppers and sliced olives.
Finally, add the rest of the mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and the crust starts to color on the edge.
