First let me say, I am behind on putting recipes up. I think I have 3 or 4 from the past few days to post including cookies and a banging turkey chili. They were all great, I can tell you that. BUT for now those will have to wait until later. Today I want to…
Lemon & Garlic Shrimp with Garbanzo Beans
As you’ve probably noticed I’m a big shrimp fan. All seafood really, shrimp just happens to be my favorite. I love the fact that even though I’ve changed my diet, I can still eat it. Maybe not battered and fried anymore, but I am finding lots of new fun ways to cook it. The shrimp…
Tasty Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
Who doesn’t love sweets!?! When you are on a diet and really watching what you’re eating, sweets are our worst enemy. We’ve all been there when that skinny ass coworker is eating a big piece of chocolate cake in front of you and you’re thinking, “that bitch”. Well come to find out, there are healthy alternatives. I came…
Harissa Chicken Stuffed Eggplant
I think on this one I can’t really call it “Harissa” because I couldn’t find Harissa sauce anywhere. I checked three different grocery stores and not one had it. Me not really knowing what it was to start with, I just substituted the Harissa sauce for Sriracha sauce and it was delish! That was the…
Margarita Shrimp with Sweet & Spicy Sweet Potato Fries
After I say what I’m about to say, you’d think I’ve been living under a rock. This was my first time cooking and eating sweet potato fries and they were awesome! I feel like I’ve been missing out! I am so glad I found this recipe! The margarita shrimp and the sweet potato fries were…
Spicy Chicken Quinoa Taco Bowl
I came across this recipe on oneingredientchef.com and made a couple changes along with adding chicken. This was my first experience with quinoa. And I’m not going to lie to you, until a couple weeks ago I had never even heard of it. My guess is it’s not a hot selling item here in the…
Apple Mug Muffin
As I was searching for clean eating recipes I decided to start looking for desserts. I have found lots of breakfast, lunch and dinner recipes but I really wanted a healthy dessert for those “way to go me” moments. I came across this “Apple Mug Muffin” recipe on civilizedcavemancooking.com. It’s a really quick and easy,…
Egg & Zucchini Muffins
I love how all these clean eating recipes venture out into an unknown territory for me. I’ve always been so plain Jane when it came to cooking that I wouldn’t have ever thought about putting some of the ingredients together I’ve been using lately. Its really been helping me come out of my cooking shell…
Spicy Lime Shrimp & Garlic Cauliflower Mash
When I was doing my meal planning at the beginning of the week I was little unsure on this one. I’m not talking about the shrimp either. I will eat shrimp any way I can get it. Now the cauliflower mash on the other hand is a different story. Normally the only way I’ll eat…
Delicious Breakfast Bars
I am all about grab and go in the mornings, as I am not a morning person and am normally rushing around trying to get out the door. Since starting the clean eating, I’m having to pack a lot more food than my normal lunch to take with me for the day. In my clean…
Amazing “Clean” Baked Citrus French Toast
I will be the first to tell you I am not a breakfast food kind of person. BUT I knew with clean eating I would need to venture out so things didn’t get boring. During all of my research I found lots of breakfast recipes that were right up my ally. The very first “clean”…
