You might want to read the Wheat Belly Cookbook, it seems that whole wheat is not as good as we all thought. Will try some of your recipes that are wheat free though.

However, I was wondering if there was a good shopping list for all this? I want to try it, and would be fine with searching through to find all the ingredients needed, but calculations are hard and it would be a ton of tabs. Thank you for sharing. We raise pigs, rabbits, and even had two emu we raised and butchered up. Raising your own meat is great and taste so much better than store bought.

Thanks so much for all your suggestions and encouragement, for a beginner at eating clean. Three months in and I am a little weary. Your blog really gave me a pick up and offered hope. Can I have a copy of the grocery list please??? Thank you soo much. My husband and I have four children, two boys, two girls. The boys both have autism- one very high functioning and one low functioning. The behaviors are what get us, and I hear just cutting out all the junk really helps with that. Hi I saw your 2 weeks clean eating plan. And I find it interesting.

Can I have you a copy of the grocery list pls? I am new to all this and I need some guidance to start cos I am so clueless. I want to start eating clean and staying healthy. And thank you for your time, hard work and for posting to help people like me eat clean. If you created a grocery list I would love to have a copy. I would love a list of shopping items. New to this, and going to try to get my family into it.

I absolutely love your philosophy on food. Thank you for all the fantastic looking recipes that i absolutely cannot wait to try! I have been meaning to try a clean meal plan and you have so kindly laid it out for all. Would you mind also emailing me your grocery list? I just wanted to say thank you for the awesome ideas, I will be making more then a few of these recipes! Secondly, it is mind blowing that people feel the need to send you nasty comments regarding the clean eating part of your post. Whoooooooo gives a shit.

Your intent I am sure is to help those who need it and give a few of your ideas. What is wrong with that?

Keep going girl, thanks for the recipes! Thanks to Pinterest I stumbled on your blog. I just started a business 2 weeks ago called Clean Bites and like you I promote clean and practical eating. I make meals for my customers who do not have the time to make clean meals. I make everything from scratch if possible. The meals you share here is a big help in my meal planning. Do u have a grocery list? Thank you so much for sharing! Just tried Paleo and it was next to impossible. Clean eating and this plan specifically seems more of a lifestyle change vs a 30 day crash diet.

Great job and again thank you! What a pleasant surprise! I saw this post on Pinterest and just pulled it up while doing my menu planning. Thank you for sharing! These recipes look great and my new years resolution was to try to eat clean without being crazy about it. Thank you, thank you thank you for posting this! I absolutely loved this post. My interest in eating healthy is a result of my desperation to find an ease to both my crazy digestive system and my bad skin.

I have a love for herbal medicine for preventative measures. I want to teach my children that someday, too. Like you said, everything with a balance. I love your philosophy. Some people go overboard and its just not practical for most families. Sounds like you are doing a great job. Good luck and thanks for sharing. Just found you through pinterest and I super excited to give this a try.

I feel like we are on the same page with our thoughts on eating clean. Thanks for both of your posts. Thanks for letting me know! Thanks so much for all your hard work! I appreciate it greatly. I think anything that is not processed, no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, sweetners… is clean. I stumbled upon your blog through pinterest. I would like a grocery list as well if you have one!! Everything in moderation and keep those veggies coming! Great work, keep it going! Thanks Brooke… I have my own food issues too, so this has been such a happy middle for us. I hope you love it too!

I also would like a copy of the grocery list. I make as much of our food as I can myself — no processed or frozen, pre-packaged foods for us except as an occasional treat. Thanks so much for sharing! I look forward to visiting often. Thank you for sharing your take on cleaning eating. Some things that have been a huge turn off for me are the cost and the idea of all or nothing. The cost is a huge one. I live in a small town with limited options. I like the idea of we all do what we can in the stage of life we are in. We need to support one another, not tear each other down because we think we are superior because of our eating standards.

I love your positive outlook on this. Looking over your recipes, I have decided to re-evaluate mine and keep the ones that fall in line with how I view clean eating for my family, then slowly add new ones to see what they think. My favorite is pecan rolls and baguettes. All that sugar and white flour. But I agree with you, I would take that stuff homemade with ingredients I trust over processed foods.

Thanks again for this post. It was just what I was looking for when searching cleaning eating!!! I just stumbled upon your blog, and I am very impressed with your efforts to be self-sustaining and to eat clean. We are in the market to buy a home soon, and I would love to have a hobby farm as well. Can I have a shopping list for this too plleeeaasseeee? Thank you for making it real!! This was a very good read. Could you please email me your grocery list as well?

Love your blog; thanks for the recipes! I found you via Pinterest…Applause to you for healthy eating and buying local foods. Thank you so much for this post! Like so many others have said, I am encouraged by your plan and life philosophy also. My 19 year old daughter has encouraged me to join her and eat cleaner food. Thank you for your post, we are off to grocery shop and get started today. After this 2 week plan, we are moving on to your original post. I would also like the grocery list if one is available!

I would love to have your grocery list as well: I eat more paleo and try to cut out all grains, but my family is not on board with that. This looks like a happy medium for all of us! Do you have any tips on sneaking them into some foods? I look forward to your email. Thank you so much! I have a good, better, and best smoothie post you can find it on the sidebar and it is a great place to start. Let me know if you need a link! This is such a great post!! I am definitely wanting to try this out. Do you have a grocery list for your meal plan??

Will let you know how it goes! I just had to brag on you.. I have been meaning to try the pizza recipe but keep forgetting that I have to prepare the dough 24 hrs in advance.. But I finally remembered to do so yesterday. I made two pizzas out of it.. One cheese thin pizza — baked on an upside down cookie sheet and the other I made in my cast iron skillet thick crust— rolled out on foil then turned over in the skillet and folded down excess and tapped with a fork..

Loaded with tons of veggies.. I cooked it at for 20 mins.. The kids loved theirs and we loved ours!! We will never buy another pizza — I even used your recipe for the pizza sauce.. I love your definition of clean eating and agree with it percent! I am looking forward to making some if these awesome recipes.

Thank you so much for doing this! I wrote a lot about it in the comments so if you scroll down you will find the details on what I spend. Hi, This all sounds wonderful. I would love to receive the shopping list as well. I would love an email of this please and a grocery list. Thank you for posting!! Love new healthy food ideas for me and my family. The chicken salad looks so delicious. This blog and recipe list is awesome! My husband and I are using Advocare products, and this will be a great addition. Also, will you please send me a recipe list?

Will any of these recipes freeze well? I too would love an ebook recipe book. Thank you, Melissa-what a super caring person you are! PS — I would also love an email of the recipes as well as the shopping list if possible. So hard to get my family to eat healthily. I would also love an email with a shopping list. My clean eating meal plan is the most popular post on my blog every day. I love that topic. I love eating clean. I was just searching for a quick link for a friend about how I make lunches and whatnot for the family. I love this meal plan, my kids 3 and 6 will definitely eat this kind of clean dinners.

Thanks so much for posting. I can i get a grocery list for this. Love your blog and the yummy recipes! My family is much like yours, we love to eat clean but we are also realistic and enjoy unfortunately sugary treats. We also live in the middle of no where and are on a budget, but we found a great website called greenpolkadotbox. Just thought I would share! Thanks again for the recipes!

That site is great, it was new to me, but the prices seem really great, especially on the nuts. Looking forward to looking more into it! Thank you for making it look so simple!!! Thank you, Pinterest for leading me to this blog! Thank you for being budget and family friendly! Thanks so much Amanda. You just made my day and helped me to remember that not everyone wants to give up everything but kale in the name of health. I cannot imagine some of the comments. Unnecessary, in my thoughts.

People need to appreciate your help more than bash it. Have a great rest of the day, Melissa! Melissa, thank you for this, I adapt it to Scottish seasonal food but my 1 yr old eats everything I give him from this and my husband too and soldiers are hard to please when it comes to healthy food! I want my son to know the joy that is great cake as well as the excitement of in season strawberries and peas — and so far he loves all of those!

How would you edit some of these meals for a single person? So if you are cooking sweet potatoes make enough to mash for a veggie burger for the next day. It will stand you in good stead for family life as well when prepreparing is the only thing between you and a takeaway sometimes! Could you send me the grocery list as well! Trying to get organized before the school year begins! Thanks for the blot post!! Great for my family— trying to be clean without being neurotic about it; enjoying healthy food without fearing the other stuff; being healthy and budget friendly at the same time- all the good stuff!!

How much on average do you spend a week on food for your family using this meal plan?

Could you please send me your grocery list? I just got back from vacation and am in desperate need of some clean eating!!! A grocery list would be so awesome! I vote yes on the chickens, seriously the best pets ever! I just mailed that shopping list to you Cassie! Love this post, came across it on Pinterest. Above it says recipes included, where so I find them? Also a shopping lost as suggested in most of the comments would be fantastic! This is fantastic, honestly! So refreshing to read, no fads, and unrealistic lifestyle changes.

It makes my heart sing as I finally feel like it something I can achieve. The only time it works is when I make natural choices and changes to my lifestyle which only makes me feel better about everything rather than deprived. I love your approach and this is something that is manageable for my family. My goal is to teach them to make sensible food choices and thus not create any food issues.

Loved your comment about your homemade cookies vs the sugar free jello…a million times yes!! Such great comments Chrissie!

It was so sad. Moderation in all things right?! Thanks for writing, it made my night! I want to try this healthy meal plan for me and my family. What a beautiful philosophy on eating and life! Please send the grocery list for eating clean spring summer menu. I am ready to make changes in my life this will be awesome and fun thank you.

I love this post! I think where I get stuck is that I think the food is clean and healthy and so I eat what I want. The truth is though, real clean healthy food still has calories and you can still over eat, even the good stuff. Hope that helps, good luck Dani! May I please get a grocery list as well??? Can I get a copy of the shopping list too? I have some questions, though. My husband is diabetic and can only have 70 grams of sugar per meal.

He must take medication before eating as well. Does anyone think he would be ok eating clean following these recipes, or would he be in danger of exceeding the 70 gram per meal limit?
