Clean Eating Recipes

Happy Summer! We have been on vacation the past couple of weeks to Maryland, Virginia, Georgia, and Florida. We had a blast seeing family and friends. We also got to see my sister get promoted to Captain in the Army - we are so proud of her! We had a wonderful week in Florida at a Marriott Vacation Club in Orlando for a week and got to experience Disney World for four days and LegoLand for a day. What a blast we all had and really focused on staying cool in the pirate pool at the hotel in the afternoons when it went up to 100 degrees! So hot! I must say my favorite part of our FL vacation was seeing our kids' faces light up when they watched the performances or while riding a ride. The Magic Kingdom Electric Safari Parade and the light show on Cinderella's castle were amazing and ended with fireworks! We have made such nice memories.

Well, as with most vacations, we did not eat as healthy as we could have. So, once we got home I have placed us all on a clean eating diet! Here are a few recipes we have tried. I hope you enjoy them - they have simple ingredients and are very flavorful, and healthy!

Whole Wheat English muffin with 2 slices of turkey bacon and one egg

Chicken Salad: 4 baked chicken breasts shredded with 1/2 cup sliced grapes and 1/2 diced red onion
Clean Ranch dressing: 5 tbsp buttermilk, 3 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp dried dill, 1/2 tsp parsley, 1/2 tsp chives, 1/2 tsp salt, pepper to taste

Smoothie: 1 banana, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1/4 cup blueberries, 4 strawberries, 1 cup orange juice

1 cup Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup blueberries, 2 tbsp granola

Clean Eating Taco Seasoning: 2 tbsp cumin, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/2 chili powder

Whole Wheat tortilla with taco meat, sliced cherry tomatoes, 1 tbsp shredded cheese and guacamole (2 avocados, garlic powder, Creole seasoning, lime, dash of salt)

Garlic Chicken with Zucchini and Corn: 1 lb chicken cut in cubes, 2 cups corn, 1/4 cup dill, 2 cloves of garlic minced, 1 sliced zucchini, 2 tsp pepper, 3/4 tsp salt, 2 tsp olive oil

Enjoy!
