Eating Clean ~ Paleo Breakfast


Eating clean is cooking green... don't spend time in oil, or in the kitchen. Cook your food clean, in its own juices.

As you may already know, there is nothing more traditional than good ole’ steak and eggs than probably Paleo steak and eggs. In this recipe, use fresh herbs added to the eggs for extra flavor. If you’re trying to lose weitght then when choosing your steaks, go for the leanest cuts that you can find. Look for sirloin, tenderloin, filet mignon or flank steak; these cuts have lower fat content than others.

Eating Clean ~ Fresh Roots Cooked Sweet and Savory

Fresh roots are a good source of vitamin-C which is a powerful water-soluble anti-oxidant, easily available to us from natural sources. It helps the human body maintain healthy connective tissue, teeth, and gum. Their  anti-oxidant property helps protect from diseases and cancers by scavenging harmful free radicals from the body.















 As in carrots and other members of apiaceae family vegetables, parsnips too contain many poly-acetylene anti-oxidants such as falcarinol, falcarindiol, panaxydiol, and methyl-falcarindiol.
Several research studies from scientists at the University of Newcastle at Tyne found that these compounds have anti-inflammatory, anti-fungal, and anti-cancer function.

Eating Clean ~ Good Quality Food Fresh from the Garden!


Clean eating is a diet program based on the idea that the best way to eat is to abundantly enjoy whole foods; that is, foods as close to their natural state and you can get them. This means eating fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins instead of pre-packaged, processed foods or fast food. Clean eating is also committed to replacing saturated fats with healthy fats. Many on the plan don't count calories, but instead trust in good quality, healthy food.
