Green Beans
I've got 20 plants growing which means a lot of green beans (runner and french) to scoff. The thing is I hate them plain. Any nice recipes to cook them in bulk and freeze?

I learned my lesson!
Last night I had a house full of teenagers (16-19) watching the Cav's game. GO CAVS!!!!! I figured I would treat us all with a late dinner so I made chicken pot pie for the 'kids' (they asked me to) and made myself 2 toasted pitas with goat cheese and fresh basil leaves. yum. Well, when the group saw my food their eyes…

Radish top soup?
Has anyone made this or tried it? I just got my organic veggie delivery and I'm looking for a way to use the radish tops. (I don't think I'd use the tops of conventional ones.) I found a recipe, and a couple people say it's good even without the cream base, so I think I"m going to try it tomorrow. If you have experience…

Tell me more!
Hi everyone! My name is Stephanie and I have recently joined MFP again to re-lose weight after 2 babies in 2 years. Since recommitting to a healthier lifestyle, I have found myself gravitating towards clean eating- I love how I feel when I eat whole foods. My questions for everyone else are: Why do YOU choose to eat clean?…

Very Trying.......
Hi all, I have been on here a while but this is the first group that I have joined. I tried the clean and lean diet last year to train for a triathlon and it really worked for me. After the triathlon I seemed to let everything go! I have gained about 12lbs and they are not coming off easily. I am trying to go back to…

Carb/protein/fat ratios
I believe MFP has a default carb/protein/fat ratio of 50/30/20 (or something close to that). I've seen lots of different opinions on what the "ideal" is - low carb, high protein, low (or even high) fat. Just wondering what others are using, or have found helpful?

Just Started Eating Clean and I feel sick
So today is the second day of my journey into clean eating, and I'm not feeling so good. I literally feel like I'm going to throw up most of the time. Last night I couldn't sleep bc I thought I was going to be sick, but at the same time it felt like I was starving. Has anyone else had this issue when they first started?…

dutch oven, george foreman and starter yeast
Hi there, I'm new to to both MFP and clean eating, the latter probably because I had no idea this was what it was called! But yes, I've been trying for some time to make my own food to cut down on calories and preservatives and colours and everything else they put in. Recently got a cast iron dutch oven which apparently…

Losing weight too fast?
Weird problem in that I'm following the clean eating plan, with a few exceptions (homemake baklava yesterday) and have lost 7 pounds since Monday. I feel great, am drinking a gallon of water a day, so I don't think this could all be water weight that I'm losing. I've always heard that it's best to lose 2 lbs a week. And…

Clean Eating and the MFP recommendations for "fat" per day
Anyone else struggling with staying under the MFP recommended fat for the day while eating clean? Some of the clean eating staples (nut butters, almonds, flax seed, chia seed, etc.) are high in fat (good fat, but fat nonetheless), so one homemade protein ball has a major impact on my fat goal for the day. Any advice?
