Container Gardening Update

JenniferM — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 13:43:33 +0000

I thought I would update how our container gardening is going. My husband apparently decided to keep some of our plants in containers (because it’s now July and those plants are still in containers) instead of planting them with the rest, and so I thought I would show you what happens in a very short amount of time. Remember this ... Related posts:

Honey Chicken Kebabs

JenniferM — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 14:11:26 +0000

There’s nothing like fresh veggies from the grill. I love, love, love grilled veggies and fruit, and that’s mostly what I survive on in the summer. I found this delicious recipe in a series of inserts that I ordered from IMP Online. You know those types of inserts that have interesting information on them and you usually get a binder ...

What is the 100 Mile Diet?

JenniferM — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:05:25 +0000

In my inbox yesterday I received a link to a podcast and the transcript of an interview with Angela St. Cyr. Some of you may know her (and her family), but I had never heard of her. Apparently Angela and her family were part of Food Network Canada’s 100-Mile Challenge held in April. Angela and her family participated in what ... Related posts:

Clean Barbecue Sauce

JenniferM — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 18:03:19 +0000

It’s almost summertime and definitely time to break out the grill! We use our grill a lot during the spring and summer. From grilled fruit to grilled veggies to steak, we try everything on the grill. My husband finally fired ours up the other night for the first time this season and my mouth started watering before the food was ... Related posts:

Soda Alternatives

JenniferM — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 19:37:18 +0000

Once upon a time, I had a soda addiction. My addiction was bad. I would drink at a minimum 4 20-oz. Mt. Dews a day, most times 5, for about 5 years. I don’t think it was the caffeine because I can get caffeine anywhere (coffee, for instance). It could’ve been the sugar, but then again, most ‘experts’ say that ... Related posts:

Clean Eating Magazine Review

JenniferM — Thu, 28 May 2009 12:45:31 +0000

I just realized last night that I have not written a review of my favorite magazine on earth and part of the inspiration for this site…duh!

Strawberry Orange Smoothie

JenniferM — Fri, 22 May 2009 15:54:57 +0000

With strawberries in season, it’s a great time to buy some fresh strawberries and use them in a smoothie. Of course you can use frozen in this smoothie recipe, but a smoothie in which I use fresh strawberries always tastes so much better to me than when I use frozen. I typically save the frozen for winter when I can’t ... Related posts:

Daily Clean Eating Menu — Wednesday, May 20

It’s been a while! I totally forgot about doing this, and so I think it’s been 3 weeks since I last posted my daily menu. I’ve just got too much on my plate (no pun intended!) and unless I write myself a note, I can’t remember to post my menus. Yesterday was a hectic day and I was gone for ... Related posts:

Creamy Tomato Soup

JenniferM — Thu, 14 May 2009 19:35:08 +0000

I finally found a recipe for homemade tomato soup! I have been looking for a homemade tomato soup recipe for quite some time, and just recently I purchased a book from Usborne Books called “The Usborne Healthy Cookbook” looking for healthy recipes that my kids will love. Since Usborne is kid-centered, I knew there would be recipes in the book ... Related posts:

Black Bean and Salsa Pizza

JenniferM — Thu, 07 May 2009 13:41:20 +0000

I tried a new recipe yesterday that I found in a Better Homes & Garden Special Quick & Easy Recipes magazine I picked up last week. The original recipe is slightly different. I decided to make the pizzas without the cheese the original recipe calls for, but overall, for those of us who still eat cheese on occasion, the original ... Related posts:
