does clean eating include “gluten free”?

Marsha – It can, but it’s not an automatic. You have to eat clean AND gluten free.

Well I have just found this site, I have been working on this way of eating for a few months now, not knowing that is has a name! how funny, I am so excited about seeing all your great ideas for me to try. and I hope to continue my weight lost journey. I think that is is going to be a wonderful lifetime change for me, hope that I can bring my husband along, because now we mostly eat differently, so that makes cooking two different meals. My main problem that I am going to have is no health food stores with in 100′s of miles, is there a good site to buy things on-line? 16 lbs down for me. Thanks

Leslie – Congrats on the 16 lbs! That’s wonderful! The best place I’ve found for online purchases is amazon.com. They seem to have everything.

Enjoy the recipes!

Jennifer – I have a gluten free category, and many of my recipes are gluten free by default. But I do not cook that way specifically, and often do not know if it is safe to categorize a recipe as such. So there may be several recipes that are gluten free, but are not listed in the gluten free category. I really know nothing about gluten free cooking, so it’s hard for me to offer a category like this. Hopefully some of the recipes there will help.

Javaneh – Thank you! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my site!

Im so glad I found this website! The recipes are amazing and so delicious! Me and my son Logan have loved making your smoothies and I will never throw out the leftover half can of coconut milk ever again

Love your website! Our family tries to eat clean but it is a struggle to find kid friendly recipes so I am thrilled to have found your site. We are planning on making some of your recipes this weekend and cannot wait to incorporate more into our eating plan.

Love this website! I’m wondering if you can help me. I make this great and SO easy minestrone soup and is loads of veggies and whatever I have in my fridge/freezer. The program is that is calls for KNORRS vegetable soup mix which is loaded with not good stuff! I’m wondering if you have a powered veggie base I could use instead of the packaged stuff

Hi Tiffany.
I came across this web site while I was searching Chia seeds.
I have been trying to eat a healthier breakfast.
I am 54 years old and I work for the telephone company in Toronto. I have a Bran muffin everyday ( it keeps me regular) and a coffee at work,
So, I bought some quaker Oats cerial and have added a couple table spoons of Hemp seeds to it. they say this is very good for you, much like the Chia seeds.
Hemp seeds are treated more like sesame seeds. Chia seeds absorb the liquid they are put into, so , to me anyway they are a little more trouble.
Anyway, I thought I tell you how I got here that I think you sight is very good and seem very real.
thanks for having me!!!

Dana – Yes, it’s clean if you make it in a bread machine. My best suggestion is to look for one that has a pan that is actually shaped like a loaf instead of those strange, square ones that give you a “block” of bread.

mjbeads – No! I’ve never heard of it! I’ll look into it though!

Phoebe – Thank you so much!

Mindy – No, they are not clean. A plant can be grown without chemicals, but if it is processed into something “unnatural”, it is still not clean. Clean eating is all about avoiding unprocessed ingredients. Always ask yourself if you would buy an ingredient individually to cook with in your own kitchen. That will often help. I don’t know of any stores that sell evaporated cane juice, organic or otherwise. It’s a good rule of thumb to follow when shopping.

Mindy – If you want to provide that for your children, then give them the one your purchased on special occasions. I have not yet found a lollipop that is considered clean. I’m not even sure it’s possible to make one. So just find the healthiest you can find and give it to them in moderation. As long as the majority of their diets are healthy, the occasional treat will certainly not hurt them.

Raindancer – that’s wonderful! I’m so happy you’re enjoying my site!

Norine – I’m not sure what you mean by signing in.

CA – I’ve had people ask me this before. I strongly recommend a microwave and slow cooker if you have the room. With those two things, you can do pretty well.

Culps – I include that information with nearly every recipe. Look at the bottom of each recipe. I have the nutrition data listed there.

Ashley – Thank you so much!

Ellen – Yes it is!! Welcome back!

Faber4 – That’s wonderful!! I’m glad you all enjoyed it!

Heidimay8 – Wow, thank you so much! Good luck. I know it’s tough when a child has to be on a particular diet. I wish you all the best.
