The biggest problem is the cooking one... after all, I don't mind your basic veggies (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and such), and I eat most meats (although I do have a tendency to lean towards bison and beef) so as long as I get off my butt and cook it isn't too bad. It is just my man and I, and he would rather skip a meal then cook lol! But we are getting better... so baby steps towards eating clean!

We do a lot of frozen veggies now and I have some frozen fruits so I use those too. Thanks for the tips, Jen. We do a lot of frozen veggies now and I have some frozen fruits so I use those too.

Hey, Ang, you know what? I have noticed the prices going up on fresh fruits and veggies too, and something I do is buy frozen and canned fruits and veggies. I mean I buy fresh bananas and peppers, onions, stuff like that too if I can. But anyway, the the frozen fruits are great for smoothies too! And the frozen veggies - I buy those huge BirdsEye bags for $7. They are 4 lb. bags, and I get the regular frozen veggies and the stir-fry frozen veggies (yum!). I can squeeze at least 3 dinners out of each bag, so to me they're worth it. I know there is controversy over canned/frozen vs. fresh, but I wrote an article a couple months back for Suite, and when I was doing my research, I found two scientific studies that compared fresh vs. canned/frozen and actually, the canned/frozen are just as nutritious as fresh! So that may save you a little money there. Fran, Trish, and Angie – thanks for commenting!

Day by day..but one of the main reasons and excuses for me is that it can cost more money at times. But we are trying our best to eat more fruits and veggies. We have pretty much given up processed cheese slices (still eat shredded though) and we have been making our own pasta sauce for a while now. That has been one of my favorite changes.
