    cleaneatingmag.com is also the site for Clean Eating magazine. Lots of family friendly meals. My family's fav is Sweet and Sour Chicken - it has a lot of veggies and pineapple, but I blend it up and the kids don't know what they're eating :)

    I haven't made these in years but I used to eat them all the time:
    Pancakes

    1/2 cup cottage cheese
    1/2 cup of oatmeal
    1 egg

    Blend, fry in olive oil, and serve with sugar free jam.


    Now I just make pancakes with flour, milk , sugar, eggs and oil.

    I make mock-pizza. Slice of wheat bread, tomato slices, and 1-2 slices of low fat cheese on top. Then I slide it into the toaster and voila!

    The best way to make sure you are eating clean is to bite the bullet and cook from scratch. You control the ingredients, so you can choose real food instead of processed junk. Most anything can be made clean - we feed our kids things like tacos, sloppy joes, chicken strips, etc. - only we make them clean, from scratch, with wholesome ingredients. To make it really interesting, I also do my recipes without gluten, dairy, soy, yeast or peanut for my allergy child - it CAN be done. If you cook from scratch, you can also control the calorie counts better, because you can choose everything that goes in.

    What kinds of things are you looking for?

    I second this! We made the leap about 2 years ago, and I was NOT a cook at all! We literally just pulled up the trash and dumped all of the processed foods. I didn't donate it bc the stuff is junk. We went organic to try and eliminate GMO's. I do some processed organic crackers for the kids, but I make the majority of our food.

    Any recipe can be made clean. We make organic pancakes with all kinds goodies added in and freeze them for breakfast. My kids love them! I also love to grill out our meals, but I buy grass fed and organic. It's more expensive, but it's not that bad when you realize you are not buying goldfish, poptarts, doritos etc.

    Another godsend has been the Vitamix. Changed our lives! We drink smoothies everyday and my kids get copious amounts of spinach and kale and have no idea!

    My kids were the pickiest of pickers, but I made them watch Food Inc and explained that now that I know better that I could not feed the fast food and junk anymore. And they were okay with it!

    Good luck!

    Pick up any of the Clean Eating Magazine "best of" cookbooks. They have recipes on their website too. I have all 3 books, and I use book 2 the most often.

    The websites 100daysofrealfood.com and thegraciouspantry.com have some great recipes on them.

    http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/

    http://www.thegraciouspantry.com/
    I like them both, especially 100 days, as she gives a breakdown of most of the days and the struggles, and triumphs.

    I buy Clean Eating Magazine (Australia) which is chockers full of delish recipes. I have a few 'go to' meals that come from it. Due to budget restraints and my location (relatively isolated) I can't go full fledged CE. I still have to eat tinned tuna/salmon a lot of the time as well as a few other packaged food items, but we have certainly cut back a lot on the processed and pre-packaged food compared to what we used to be like. I'm finding making CE sweets and desserts hard, because a lot of it calls for things like coconut oil, sucanat etc which I don't find readily available in the local supermarket. I have to wait until I either go to a larger town or buy online.

    Anyway, when I get time I'm going to go through and print some of these recipes out.

    I'm on a bit of a brownie kick lately, so it's only natural that this is one of my favorites.

    Chocolate Protein Brownies
    makes 6 low fat protein brownies that can be gluten free, wheat free and/or vegan.

    1/2 cup quinoa flakes or rolled oats or extra 1/2C flour*
    1/2 cup peanut flour or protein powder
    1/4 cup cocoa powder
    1/4 cup gluten free flour/gluten free pancake mix/plain flour/whole wheat flour
    1/2 tsp salt
    1 tbsp baking powder
    1/2 cup + 2 tbsps applesauce
    2 tsp vanilla extract
    1/2C + 2 tbsp milk of your choice
    ~1/4-1/2 cup sugar (depending on your tastes)
    Optional: 1/4-1/2 cup chocolate chips

    Preheat oven to 180°C/355°F.
    Prepare a texas sized muffin tin (or ~10 regular sized muffins) or grease and line an 8x8 baking pan.
    In a bowl combine the first 6 dry ingredients.
    To dry ingredients, add in applesauce, vanilla, milk and sugar and mix until combined.
    If using, stir in chocolate chips and spoon out mixture into muffin cups or prepared pan.
    Bake for 15-20 minutes for muffins/20-25 minutes for bars or until set and the edges start to pull in from the sides.
    Allow to cool before slicing, eating, storing in the fridge or freezing.

    My husband and I have been clean eating lately, for dinners we have had;

    Baked fish seasoned with fresh lemon & cracked pepper or a steak with a side salad (lettuce, tomato, avocado, sprouts, light dressing)

    Home made leak & potato soup

    Veggie fritata (Potatoes, Kumara, Pumpkin, Spinach, Egg, Milk, Garlic, Onions, Thyme)

    Red onion fritata (Red onion, Spinach, Garlic, Egg, Thyme, dash of Parmesan)

    Lunches are just salad, snacks are fresh green beans or feijoas, breakfast is rolled outs.

    Would love to see others idea's as the above if repeated over & over can get a bit boring!
