Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution
[caption id="attachment_1248" align="alignright" width="270" caption="Jamie Oliver in Union Square. Photo Credit: Wikimedia Commons/Really Short"][/caption] Some of you may know, although many of you probably do not know, that I am from West Virginia. And some of you may have heard the buzz surrounding Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution being filmed in Huntington, WV. I am not from Huntington. Huntington is about 200 miles from where I live; however, that's just a hop, skip and a jump here in WV. I was interested in this show because I have already read about the outcome from some local ...
Basic Grilled Salmon Steak
My husband and I are totally into salmon now. I don't know if it's because we're burnt out on beef or what it is. Since we get our beef from my father-in-law, who's a farmer, we always get enough beef to last us a full year. So during the winter months, we eat a lot of beef. Now that warm weather is here, we've switched to eating more and more fish and eating a LOT of salmon, especially grilled salmon because during the spring and summer, we use our grill more than our stove. We ...
Tips for Grilling Vegetables on the Grill
I love grilled vegetables (and fruit!), but grilling can be a bit tricky if you don't know the basics. We've learned through trial and error, but to save you the same frustration, I thought I'd pass along a few things I've learned about grilling vegetables on the grill. Tips for Grilling Vegetables We grill just about every type of vegetable we can, but we've found that vegetables with high water content (think onions, squash, peppers, corn) are the best for grilling. One of the most important things to remember to do is make sure you cut your vegetables approximately the same size ...

It's that time of year again...the birds are singing, the sun is shining, and we're in the gift giving mood! Yes, it's been a while since we've offered up a free book here at CEC, but with summer right around the corner, a time when a lot of people decide to "clean up" their diet, be more active, and lose weight, we thought this is a great time to give away Tosca's latest book: The Eat-Clean Diet Recharged!: Lasting Fat Loss That's Better than Ever! So what's the catch? That's the best part! There is none. Okay, okay. There is one ...
Sweet Potato Fries Recipe
This year my husband and I have decided to plant sweet potatoes for me to can. I can't wait! Not only to eat homemade canned sweet potatoes in the winter, but to also use this Sweet Potato Fries recipe once again! I tried these sweet potato fries last summer and they tasted great and were super easy to make. Because they're lower in glycemic load than white potatoes, sweet potatoes are much better for blood sugar levels and sweet potatoes are loaded with nutrients like fiber, vitamin C, and beta-carotene. Ingredients: 2 sweet potatoes (1 pound) 2 tbsp. olive oil 1 tsp. sea salt 1/2 ...
Iced Green Tea with Mint
Nothing hits the spot on a hot summer day like some sweet iced tea. This take on traditional iced tea uses fresh ingredients, and as an added bonus, there is no white sugar, just a bit of agave nectar. When I first prepared this, I didn't think I would like mint added to my tea, but I have to say that the mint leaves make this tea even more refreshing. This Iced Green Tea with Mint only takes about 10 minutes to make and approximately 45 minutes to chill, so you can enjoy a glass within an hour! Enjoy! Makes 4 ...
Clean Eating Sushi Recipe
I would first like to say that I'm so excited to be able to contribute to The Clean Eating Club! I read this blog regularly and I'm just tickled to be a part of it. Thanks Jennifer and Jennifer! [caption id="attachment_1422" align="alignright" width="300" caption="Photo Credit: Tiffany McCauley"][/caption] Sushi has a reputation for being hard to make. And while certain aspects of it can be a little time consuming, it's actually pretty simple to put together. If you'll forgive the irreverence, I tend to look at sushi more like a burrito. Because when you do that, it takes all the mystery out of making ...
