After being away over the weekend, we came home to an empty refrigerator and no fresh produce — the perfect set up for a week of less than clean eating without some quick action. So a stop by the Tuesday farmers’ market the next town over yielded some great finds yesterday. Beautiful dinosaur kale for

Last week I made a clean eating, super healthy vegetable dish that was so delicious my mom swears she’s inspired to cook again. Mind you, I made some other tasty dishes too, but I particularly loved this vegetable dish because of the outrageously fresh ingredients I used. The dish was inspired by a recipe I

There’s nothing better than having locally grown fruit all year long, especially when you’ve picked it yourself.

I’ve been bitten by the clean eating bug yet again, fresh from a trip to a new farmers’ market here in New Haven, sponsored by Upper State Street Association. And what fun it was! In addition to the chocolate black bean sorbet that I scored and was absolutely delish on a steaming hot day, Bruce

I knew I had hit clean eating pay dirt when my husband said, “I could eat fresh corn and tomatoes everyday for lunch. They are so good.” That was yesterday, a day after his big realization that after working out, he didn’t need the big burger and fries he was literally driving to pick up

One thing I know for sure is that when you eat whole, clean and super healthy foods you shouldn’t be in the kitchen for hours! Yesterday is a perfect example. Bruce and I stopped by a brand new farmers’ market not far from our house. It was an adventure is meeting new farmers and all
