Clean Eating Spinach and Pulled Pork

My quest for eating clean and tasty food has gone answered with these two easy dishes! We ate them together, although the pulled pork was more Southern and the spinach was more Asian. Anyways... they were great AND I would make these two recipes again (although probably not together next time!).

My family and I just returned from vacation so I'm catching up on the Blog! We have family in town to celebrate our son, Palmer's 1st Birthday, so I look forward to sharing our party theme with you later this week!
