There’s something about when the weather cools off and I fell a chill in the air, that I’m immediately drawn to more warming foods that stick to your bones — whole grains, beans,  and root vegetables in particular, like these roasted parsnips in the photo.  Clean eating is at its best when you can plan more seasonal menus, preferably with locally grown food, that takes advantage of what’s currently being harvested.

Clean eating inspiration for fall starts with a quick spin around your local farmers’ market where you can see plentiful amounts of beautiful winter squash – butternut, acorn and pumpkin. Not to mention potatoes and sweet potatoes and lots of greens. For me, it’s the perfect opportunity to turn my sights and creative energy to making healthy fall creations.

The key here to is eat what’s in season, focus on clean eating that shuns processed foods full of sugar, salt and fat and to have some fun with it.  A little meal planning on a Saturday morning can yield a week’s worth of healthy, seasonal clean eating meals that won’t have to keep you in the kitchen for hours. Just today, I’ve cooked up a healthy soup with collard greens, beans and sweet potatoes, fresh tuna burgers and some delicious Jamaican style oatmeal.  All clean meals full of nutrients and flavor.
