About a month ago I found a copy of the Clean Eating magazine at a grocery store. Curious, I picked it up. It was the September/October issue and I LOVED the range of pasta sauce recipes it had. Since then I’ve made a version of the Mussel Stew.. and finally, last night I made a version of their “Hearty Lentil…

Chicken N Dumplings
It’s the day before payday.. and all we have in the house is hamburger (which we had yesterday), fish (which is destined for dinner on Thursday) and pre-cooked AB chicken breasts that are a wee bit dry (I think I over-grilled them). So I grepped the Internet looking for ideas. Initially I wanted to use the chicken in a Chicken…
Ones
Yesterday I forgot to pack an afternoon snack. Frankly I’ve had such a bad habit of packing the snack and then not eating it that it just slipped my mind in the morning. Of course that totally meant that at 3 o’clock I was starving for an afternoon snack. Now in the bad-old-days this would have meant a trip to…
Green Salad with citrus vinaigrette
I know that technically it’s autumn.. but unfortunately the Bay Area hasn’t gotten the message. When I called “the man” to let him know I was heading home from the office he suggested that maybe I should stay at the office.. and sleep on my office couch.. since it was air conditioned. The last gasp of summer is frying my…
Stuffed Peppers
Costco sells a bag of 2 red/2 yellow/2 orange bell peppers for $7. To me that’s a total steal. I snapped up a few bags and have been adding colored peppers to everything. Last night I did stuffed peppers. SO . GOOD!! Frankly also so easy. Stuffed Red Peppers 6 bell peppers (I prefer red) 1/2 lb italian sausage or…
Yes, but is it Clean?
Last night I made Fettuccini Alfredo for dinner. I was craving it and I decided to give in to that craving. After I served it up “The Man” looked at his plate.. and then looked at me and said “This doesn’t seem particularly clean to me”. I replied that -technically- it was clean. But it got me to thinking. Fettucini…
Whole Wheat Bread
This is a living document. As I discover more about my bread I’ll tweak the instructions and recipes here. I’ve adjusted the salt in the recipe below. The original called for 1 Tbsp of salt. I found 1 Tbsp of salt to be way too little and I’ve bumping it up for 1.5 Tbsp for my next batch (and I’ll…
Mussels in dipping sauce
A few months ago, when my boss was in town, we went out to eat at Anchor and Hope in San Francisco. I had the “Mediterranean Seafood Stew” with mussles, chorizo meatballs, and harissa lobster broth. From the first bite I knew that it didn’t taste like what I’d expected it to taste. Don’t get me wrong, it was very…
Lasagna
I like lasagna.. and nothing really tops homemade lastagna.. that said.. I really think this is bad for you. Too much cheese and carbs.. but tasty. Possibly good with oregano and parsley added to the meat sauce and cheese layer. Still good without. Lasagna Original from Eat Clean Live Green: Ingredients no-bake lasagna noodles 1 pound ground beef (preferably organic…
AB Grilled Chicken
Not everyone has two and half hours available to prep/cook dinner. Seriously, if I followed Alton’s recipe verbatum I’d have to start at it LONG before I got home from work OR we’d be eating at 10pm. Neither of those are acceptable so I’m running through my short-cut options. Option 1 – Skip the brine. I hate to miss out…
