Introductions
So this may be a very small group so I kept it open in case others would like to join us on our journey. Please introduce yourselves to the group with your goal for the next 10 days (thinking that's a good amount of time to start and we can continue if we want). I'm Abby-abs0830. I do great keeping up with exercise and…
What ways do you save produce?
Hey all, I was just wondering what you do with your produce if you have to much that your not going to use before it goes bad. I get an organic CSA share that is meant to be enough for a family of 4 but its just me and my husband. We have a hard time using all of it before it goes bad. I dont want to keep feeding my…
Challenge Accepted?
I wanted to check in with everyone and see how you're doing eating clean. I posted yesterday about doing a more focused group on Facebook since I find it easier to interact. If you're interested let me know. So-how have you done thus far? Have you noticed a difference in how you eat or what you want to eat? For me: It's…
Vacation Plan
I found this site and article today. I think the site has some good clean eating recipes, which is awesome. Plus, some good articles. http://www.cleaneatingmag.com/slideshow/8-ways-to-stay-healthy-on-vacation/ This one focuses on staying healthy on vacation-which is a challenge for me. Anyone else have this as a challenge?

Out to Eat

Or do you focus on heading to particular restaurants (and which ones)? I normally order fish, because FH does not appreciate the meal or the…
23 Ways to Eat Clean
This one is more like a slide show, what's your biggest take away? For me I honestly didn't realize that baby carrots were processed. I'm feeling a bit foolish, but glad I read through this! http://www.prevention.com/food/healthy-eating-tips/23-ways-eat-clean
Easy and Clean Desserts?
I've lost 55 pounds since January 1st, and have recently adopted a clean-eating lifestyle. One thing that I've noticed since changing my eating habits is that I no longer crave salty snacks, instead I want something sweet! And not fruit either, I get enough of that and would like some suggestions for clean desserts. Anyone…
Checking In
How's everyone doing? I failed yesterday with clean eating. I didn't feel well and caved when my hubby suggested pizza for dinner. On the plus side, he made it from scratch so it wasn't as bad. I also had diet 7-Up (the diet is because there's no corn syrup in it). I think next time I can get the same result with lemon…
Let Them Eat Cake
Yesterday I modified a yellow cake recipe that I like. I used Sweetleaf's Sugarleaf, a stevia/cane sugar blend. I didn't add a bulking agent because there was more of the sugar/stevia unlike simply pure stevia. It turned out rather well, but I will do it again using stevia and apple sauce to see if it can be lighter in…
