About a month ago I really started to clean up my diet and really start eating well. By well I mean no sugar or any processed food. So basically is it a lot of fruits, vegetables and lean protein. I have known for a long time that this is how I should be eating but to have the discipline to do it is the key. Anyways, I tried this recipe tonight that my sister gave me this week and it is fabulous. I changed it up a bit and used Quinoa instead of brown rice b/c I already had that cooked but either would be considered, "Clean."
