Favorite Foods from Week 1 Of Clean Eating

I eat pretty “clean” as it is–but I am committed to doing it 99% of time (I need wine every once in awhile–and my hubs makes the best chocolate chip cookies).  This week I discovered Pureed Cauliflower and I have to say it was awesome.  I steamed a whole head, then blended it with roasted garlic, salt, pepper, about a 1/4c of Parmesan (maybe less) and then milk as needed for texture.  It was so light and fluffy–next time I take some pictures.  I really enjoyed it and even my husband liked it.

I also made a black bean and feta cheese stuffed turkey burger–which was really awesome and I paired it again with my pureed cauliflower–a whole head made about 3 servings for me.

My final favorite meal of the week was spaghetti squash with a turkey, mushroom and pepper tomato sauce.  It was really good and while I don’t eat a lot of pasta, spaghetti squash is the perfect substitute for pasta.

I am enjoying the clean eating–I stick with protein shake for breakfast–fruit (usually berries), greek yogurt, and whey protein.  I feel a lot better and have a lot more energy. I also am craving a lot less sugar/bad for me things.

This week I am going to attempt to make sweet potato gnocchi (we’ll see how that goes) and some sweet potato ravioli with homemade whole wheat pasta for the ravioli.  I’ll take some pictures and detail their deliciousness here next week for a look back at Week 2 of clean eating.
