About

An amazing story. You look beautiful then and you look vibrant, happy and more beautiful now. Good for you for adopting a clean lifestyle.

wow, its almost like you took times of my life and some recent feelings and thoughts and posted them. Good for you to have a wisdom and strength to chage your life. I am a avid clean eater. I am the mother of four, everything i buy is in its natural state and if i need something thats boxed..i make it from scratch…lol

I read your profile and was so excited to see someone who is in the same stage of life that I am in and is studying to do what I want to do!

I am a FB pal – Gina Giordano Weeks – Could you share with me where you are obtaining your education for this next stage?

–Merry Christmas!

I just found your blog and I love it! I am an experimenter also trying to make food yummy and healthy. You have so many wonderful recipes, so fun can’t wait to try them. I was wondering what you are studying in school? And thanks for all your great recipes and ideas =)

Tiffany – Your story is a great one! I too am a huge fan of clean eating and I’m also a mommy to boys (4&6) and trying to lose weight. Your site is beautiful and I can’t wait to try some of your recipes.

Love your testimony!

I love your website!! My mom is a registered dietician in Connecticut. She works as a School Nutrition Specialist – making the menus, purchasing the food, and designing her dream kitchens in each school in my hometown. She also works for an organization, SNACT maybe?, that petitions congressmen and women to fund/create laws in an effort to get healthier food into the public school system so that kids eat better. I am sure you will love this new career path! So exciting! I can’t wait to try some new recipes!! – lisa

I just want to thank you for all that you do. I couldn’t believe my luck when I stumbled upon your website last week. I am brand new to the Clean Eating scene and was feeling so very intimidated…until I found you! From understanding variations of clean eating (knowing now that I don’t have to start out as extreme as some of my friends) to learning how to efficiently and affordably convert my preservative laden pantry, you have made this seemingly daunting task super easy!

Your entire website is absolutely amazing and I have shared it with so many of my friends. I love that my husband and my two small boys (4 and 18 months) are eating the food I prepare with no complaints. I too am a stay at home mom looking to lose my baby weight. Had no problem losing it the first time, but am seriously struggling this time around. I am a former athlete/beauty pageant girl and can completely empathize with your struggle. For so many years so much emphasis was placed on my physical appearance (never-ending diets and brutal exercise regimes) that to find myself 40 lbs over weight is literal torture. It is so ironic to me that I struggled so much back then and was NEVER satisfied with myself!

I am totally excited because I don’t feel like this is a diet at all! I am almost finished with my second week and I don’t even feel deprived!!! Amazing! The fact that you have poured so much time, energy and research into this, and that you are completely willing to share it with all of us (FOR FREE!) really speaks volumes as to type of person you are. You are even thoughtful and considerate in ALL of your responses no matter the comment someone has made. I just want to thank you from the bottom of my heart and let you know how truly appreciated you are.

I just discovered your blog (through Bry at Embrace Fire) and I’m amazed. You have great recipes…I’ve been trying to get in shape after having my daughter and changing the way we eat in general…and your blog gives me hope that we don’t have to eat the same stale thing over and over again.

Your new fan,
Zany

Tiffany,
I am just now getting to read about why you named your blog “The Gracious Pantry.” I always thought it was because clean eating sounds tough, but your blog and the recipes are gracious to the person who is trying hard to eat clean. You have a wide variety of unintimidating recipes. I have plenty of clean eating cookbooks by a particular famous author/clean eater, but your recipes are so much more “real” and familiar. Yet, you have many things I haven’t tried before. It’s welcoming to the new clean eater and those who are trying to maintain this lifestyle! Thanks for providing such a service!

Wow new look!!! Love your site more every day. Feel like I’m your biggest fan, and almost a groupie, LOL

I have never seen someone explain clean eating so well – you really make it seem doable!

Carrie – Hi! Becky posted your link for me yesterday. I can’t believe you’ve only been doing it for a few months, you’re a recipe machine! Keep up the great work!

Sue – Wow. You have your hands full for sure! When Mini Chef was 2, I’d give him some small kitchen projects of his own. He loved it, we got to spend time together and I got to cook. It was a win-win. Maybe that could work for you?

Lori – Thanks so much!

Elena – Thank you so much! What a wonderful comment! I’m thrilled you’re both enjoying my recipes so much and I know you’ll do great. I hope to have that pecan pie recipe done shortly. Just need to bake it one more time to iron out the “kinks”.

Amanda – Awww, thank you so much! I’m glad you’re enjoying my recipes!

Hi Tiffany, I am new to this site, and to clean eating! I have tried both the chicken -n-dumplins, and the spaghetti pie. Both were delicious!!!! I love the site, and cant wait to try more recipes!!
