    I guess I understand a note on the recipe saying "Omit if limiting salt intake," but the note was more like "Omit to be really clean," which I still don't understand. If some people need to limit salt for health reasons, that doesn't make salt dirty for the rest of us especially when foods like agave aren't noted at all.

    Well, when I write the cookbook I never am going to write, I'll keep that in mind. You don't like the recipe? Share a better one. TEACH, don't preach.

    I have no idea what the recipes I eat you would consider acceptable for this thread -- that's why I'm trying to understand the standards you're judging by.

    I'm not preaching -- I am confused.

    I cook a lot...pretty much everything I cook comes from scratch, whole ingredients or minimally processed ingredients (like a can of crushed tomatoes, etc)...I would think most actual recipes you would find most anywhere would be comprised mostly of whole foods. I get most of my stuff from Pinterest.

    I try to cook with whole food and I am working at getting better at it. I do use canned beans and frozen veggies a lot since there are only two of us here.

    To my thinking, those are "minimally processed" foods and 100% welcome in anything but a "detox" diet.

    Detox? And why on earth couldn't you eat frozen vegetables on a detox...they actually contain more nutrients than fresh.

    I don't know, man. This is the conversation I wanted to avoid. What do *you* like to cook?

    But you're the one who brought it up...

    Just share your favorite, produce and lean-meat filled recipes that don't rely on pre-made foods. I'm not going to jump all over you for not being "clean" enough. Did you READ the initial post? Share recipes or actual input, or hush.

    I thought I was giving input, I just wanted to understand what you were seeking. Clearly that isn't welcome, so good luck with your search for recipes.

    How is agave "clean"?

    And eating more whole foods naturally reduces your salt intake - most people would need to add salt to their diet to maintain proper balance in their body, it's not a clean/dirty ingredient

    Is your agave dirty?

    I'm not the one labelling food. How is agave clean by your standards?

    All my food is clean - I wash it before I prepare it.

    This !!!
    I love it so much and it's so easy to make ! We marinated the chicken in lemon juice and pepper for about two hours so it wouldn't be dry.

    Here's the link to the recipe: https://www.buzzfeed.com/robertbroadfoot/stop-what-youre-doing-and-go-make-this-one-pan-autumn-chicke?utm_term=.jgpEjDQLlV#.xnYV28Q79j

    This is a good and super easy recipe, tons of veggies, delicious. I've modified it a little to better suit my tastes though (I omit the cinnamon and replace it with a teaspoon of chili powder). And I topped it with plain Greek yogurt for a little protein boost.

    If you're not onboard with rice, I imagine you could use riced cauliflower, but I have never been that adventurous. Honestly, for tastiest results, use jasmine rice. But brown rice works too.

    Rice Pilaf with Raisins
    • 1 tbsp, olive oil
    • 0.25 large, Onions - Raw
    • 2 tsp, Garlic - Raw
    • ¾ cup uncooked brown rice
    • 0.34 cup, packed, Raisins - Seedless
    • 1 tsp, Tumeric
    • Dash of ground cinnamon
    • 2 cups Chicken Broth (ideally, clean chicken stock)
    • 1 cup water
    • Dash of sumac (optional)
    Sautee rice and onions in olive oil in a POT, not a pan. Add garlic as rice begins to brown and onions begin to soften. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Add raisins, spices, and chicken stock. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.

    what is a "dirty" version of chicken broth?????????????

    the input being given is that the foods that you are listing are not clean or dirty, they are just food...
