Clean Eating

Our clean eating journey began in December 2012, when a friend of mine told me that she was doing this to help lose weight, but also just be healthier. She told me about the website www.thegraciouspantry.com, and I started trying to convert our pantry throughout the month of December.Clean eating appealed to me because of the weight loss benefits, for sure, but also because I really like the idea of cutting out chemicals and processed food from our diet - at least most of the time. I mean, a little pizza once in a while can't kill ya! We also wanted to convert to clean eating, because we want to start a family and we want this to be the normal for our children from the get go.As we start the new year, we are still working on converting our pantry and eating habits. Clean eating can be very expensive, and we are definitely on a budget. I hope to share our journey in converting to clean eating, doing it on a budget, sharing recipes and foods we like, and our successes in accomplishing this.
