Reset
If you follow me on Instagram you know that I had too much fun with baking since March. We also went on a two week Southwest states, and national park road trip last month. As much as I tried to make healthy meals for my family, we would always end up with s’mores and ice cream. When we came home from our road trip I told my family that’s time to reset and eat more plant based meals.
Over the weekend I prepped and cooked up healthy dishes. I like simple ingredients that I can find at any store or online. For those of you who want a little inspiration for your own clean eating cooking regimen, below are a few of my favorite meals. Remember clean eating should be easy and fun and not hard or complicated. I like to think of it as mixing and matching clothes. It gets me inspired!
Enjoy!
I always start the morning with celery juice.
Instead of grabbing everything bagel I substitute it with avocado, smoked salmon, boiled eggs, and sprinkle it with pumpkin seeds and everything bagel seasoning from Trader Joe’s. Here is an easy recipe to make your own seasoning.
Barley and green lentils with grilled salmon and avocado. So good!
Roasted sweet potatoes with any protein. I used slap steak here.

Sopapillas
I’ve been craving for sopapillas after our trip to New Mexico and finally decided to make some.
I’m always very intimidated by anything with dough from scratch. I think I’m getting better every time I try.
I used canola oil to fry them, but the recipe recommends using shortening.
