I made eggplant enchiladas last night that were to die for and clean! If you want the recipe, I would be happy to share with you. 🙂
The Gracious Pantry says
Brooke – Thank you! I’m not much of an eggplant fanatic, but I’d be willing to give it a shot if the eggplant flavor isn’t too prevalent. Thank you!
Morgan says
Hi! I couldn’t find an email to email you directly. I would like to use the directions and some of your ingredients for the granola recipe for my e-book. I changed some of the ingredients and changed the name of the recipe. I also added at the bottom ” (Inspired by: https://www.thegraciouspantry.com/contact/)
The Gracious Pantry says
Morgan – Please email me directly at thegraciouspantry@gmail.com

Nancy – Both of those items fall into a bit of a “clean eating gray area”. You have to make that choice for yourself. You can certainly use full fat dairy, but then you have a lot of fat, much of which is saturated, to deal with. Milk is processed regardless of what you buy. If you want truly unprocessed milk, you have to buy raw milk. And that’s tough to find these days. I find, for me, low fat milk (1%) is the best of both worlds. But again, it’s a personal choice. Same with coffee. No matter what you drink, there is some processing involved. But you’d be hard pressed to get most coffee drinkers to give it up. So the best thing you can do is make your cup of coffee as clean as possible. I believe Tosca Reno drinks hers black.

Tiffany, I am a subscriber for several years, follow you on facebook and love the Blog , the recipes and and information are fantastic. I love the raspberry butter (made some for my family in Texas while visiting) they also enjoyed. I have made numerous recipes and love them all. Today I just made peanut butter cookies to take to a Memorial service. They are so easy and awesome. Hope you continue all you do , it is an inspiration for all. Do you by any chance have a frozen yogurt recipe?
The Gracious Pantry says
Dorothy – Thanks! And sort of… I wouldn’t call it frozen yogurt in the conventional sense. But pretty close. Here’s all my ice cream recipes: https://www.thegraciouspantry.com/category/ice-cream-recipes/
Lori says
I am not sure my email went thru?? I wanted to let you know I got an email this week that the little vitamix released but the price isn’t too little. I feel the same way about my vitamix too! BIG!
Also, I get the clean eating tuna patties recipe repined DAILY from my pinterest! Sometimes several in a day. not sure if you get those notifications too! Great job!
I truly enjoy your posts and recipes! You are so sweet!
Lori
The Gracious Pantry says
Lori – Awww, thanks! 😀 Ya, I’m sure with time the price will come down on the small ones just like they did with the large ones. But I’m patient. 🙂
Sue Anna says
TIFF,
I made the clean eating Italian dressing and we loved the taste. I had a problem though and wondered if you could tell me what I did wrong. When I put it in the fridge, the next day the oil was solidified. I left it put for a while and it was ok. I used it on a couscous salad yesterday and it was soaked up and salad was a little ‘dry’ today. Any suggestions as to what I did wrong? Thanks for your help. Love the site, recipes and blog!
The Gracious Pantry says
Sue – I would imagine the grains simply soaked up the liquid of the dressing.
Melissa Schworer says
I am NOT a food blogger, but I share a lot of recipes with my friends. I created a “meal plan” on my blog so that I could just easily direct my friends TO the meals / recipes, but I think it would be much less intimidating and more appealing if I also included the photos of the food.
Is it okay if I use your photos with the link to your page? I don’t know proper protocol on this.
Thanks,
Melissa
The Gracious Pantry says
Melissa – Sure! Thanks! Here’s my copyright info. Hope that helps.
Angela Baginski says
Hi Tiffany!
I work for an amazing company that is passionate about teaching people how to eat more fruits/veggies. Each quarter, I do wellness talks on various topics and this month decided to do a talk called, “What’s in your pantry?” I stumbled on your blog-which is great by the way- and wondered if I could print the list of items to stock in the pantry to pass out to participants? I would reference your blog and have your information on the bottom…so you’d get the credit. 🙂
Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks so much! Keep spreading the message…
The Gracious Pantry says
Hi Angela,
I will email you. Thanks for asking!
Tiffany
Debbie Hall says
Hi!
I purchased your Clean Eating 101 ebook with PayPal this morning and I have not received it yet. Will it be sent to my email above? According to PayPal, everything went well and I actually got to the point to download the book, but it did not download. Thanks!
Debbie Hall
The Gracious Pantry says
Debbie – Can you email me directly about this? I’ll get it worked out for you. thegraciouspantry@gmail.com. Thanks!

The Gracious Pantry says
Teresa – How exactly will the recipes and photos be used?
Denice Dodge says
Hi!
First I want to tell you that I love your recipe for pumpkin ice cream. I love anything pumpkin! The reason I am contacting you is to tell you that you have a typo on your website. Up on the left hand side next to your “Clean eating 101” you have “learn the basics of clean eaing. I think you mean clean eating. Sorry…..it’s the teacher in me! Can’t wait to see more recipes with pumpkin!
The Gracious Pantry says
Denice – Oh my!! Haha! That’s been up there a very long time. I’m so happy you mentioned it! I stare at this computer for so long every day, it’s easy to make those little mistakes. So thank you! 😀
Tazzra says
I always love your recipes. We were clean eating in 2011 and then stopped but I remembered your site! However, even though it is super easy to navigate, the ads are crazy ridiculous now. A new pop-up every time I click to a new page! Is this normal?
The Gracious Pantry says
Tazzra – It’s something I’m working on. Most of the ads only pop up when you roll over them with the mouse. But it is something I’m working on.
Julie Pay says
I thought I had found a recepie for a 2 ingredient biscuit…cream and self rising flour….if this is from your site could you send it to me? I failed to save the spot and do not have the prep and baking directions
thank you
The Gracious Pantry says
Julie – Sorry, that wasn’t me.
Rachel Redman says
Hello Gracious Pantry,
I am an elementary school teacher and will be running an after school “Healthylicious cooking class” for KG-2nd graders. I will be using several of the recipes from your website. May I include them in a the “cookbook” in which the kids will record their recipes and have something to take home with them at the end of class? I would credit the website for each recipe. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Rachel Redman
The Gracious Pantry says
Rachel – As long as it’s for educational purposes and not being sold, that’s fine. I just ask that you do not use the headnotes (all the writing before the recipe) and that you print the URL along with the recipe. Thanks for asking! 😀
Tina Hicks says
Hi Tiffany, oh how I hope you can help me. I am about 4ft 11in and have always been a slender build. However, since I lived in a rental with extreme toxic mold (I am deathly allergic to penicillin which is in toxic mold), I have had been multi-diagnosed and re-diagnosed with several different treatments almost always with prescriptions. They like to write prescriptions here in SD and to put a bandaid on the problem instead of getting to the root cause and treating that. I have been told many times and have read that they get a cut from each prescription written. So by not making you better, you have to keep coming back and they write a different prescription.
So after living in the first toxic mold rental (ended up in about three rentals with it because they may not understand what it can do and just cover it up because it is cheaper), I have had several health challenges.
My question for you is in response to gaining some weight and being able to keep it on. At that height, at one time I got down to 71 pounds and was eating a lot. Two chiropractors, which are seen in SD as alternative health care, literally saved my life. One of those times is when one of them figured out my body would not let the food attach to my body. If that makes sense. He also talks about detoxifying the mold out of my body, but says I can’t do that until I gain weight. My weight has been up and down, I believe it is partially due to getting healthier and some toxins coming out.
I am so tired of all of this. I am actually on disability due to all of this and am going to get healthy, get off disability and start working again. I just need to find the right people that can help in one of various ways.
Sorry when I don’t feel good, exhausted with a lot to do, I blab. Because my brain has also been affected by the toxicity and has a hard time sometimes.
I am not a big cook, but know I need to eat better and clean. Can you help me?
The Gracious Pantry says
Tina – I’m not sure what type of help you are looking for. But feel free to email me via my contact page here.
kara says
Didn’t want to post too long of a thing on your low carb muffin page, but along the low carb line, have you experimented with coconut flour??? I have been experimenting with it off and on, but I’m not exceptionally good at it, grrrr.
So, may I challenge you to come up with a texturally pleasing and stay together recipe that incorporates this really absorbent substance? I’ve tried eggs, chia seeds, flax milk, regular milk, flax seeds, ricotta, I do not like to admit defeat, especially culinarily, but I am stumped. Perhaps I am not using enough eggs? Sometimes I’d just like a pancake or muffin, you know, carb craving or mouth feel, whatever it is, I just want to keep on track.
Oh, and crispy snacks too? There used to be Pirates Booty soy crisps, but our stores don’t carry them anymore, but they were a boon when the “gosh I wish I had something crunchy” mood hit. Going low carb allowed me to lose 50 pounds and feel so much better 10 years ago, but with many losses of loved ones, I think my comfort foods won out and now I am back near the heavy mark and needing to find my way back to a healthy mind and body.
Thank you again for being such a positive force on the internet for all of us, and being so healthful and mindful for Mini Chef too! He is leaps and bounds ahead of kids his age in nutritional knowledge thanks to your journey, Bless you for giving him that gift~
The Gracious Pantry says
Kara – I do have quite a few recipe with coconut flour. If you go to the recipe index, you can search by ingredient. If you click on coconut flour, you’ll find all my coconut flour recipes, and there will be more on the way. 🙂
Natalia says
Hey, I love what you do, just wanted to make you know when you click lunch/dinner your site does not direct you to that page, there is an error. 🙂
The Gracious Pantry says
Natalia – Thanks! If you hover over that option, another menu will pop up. But you’re right. That should connect to something. I will work on that. Thanks!
Laura says
I am starting a clean eating plan next week, but my work schedule sometimes make meal planning difficult. I checked out your section about eating clean at restaurants, with a particular focus on Chipotle. It looks like they’ve updated their ingredients since the video you created and are no longer as vague (e.g. “select spices). It looks like a lot of their items are cooked in rice bran oil. I don’t see this listed under either your good or bad oil list and was just hoping you could clarify if it would be acceptable. Thank you!
The Gracious Pantry says
Laura – Sure. I’ll take another look. 🙂
mae says
I signed up for the book but did not receive it…could you tell me how I can find out how to find it?
The Gracious Pantry says
Mae – I emailed it to you. Did you get it?
Aonya says
Tiffany, hello! I love your web site, I have a question I hope you can help. My husband has type 2 diabetes, on my clean food journey, I found organic blue agave sweetener ,I was wanting to know if
this is considered clean? it is low glycemic for diabetics. the only ingredients are agave nectar and filtered water.
The Gracious Pantry says
Aonya – There is a lot of controversy over agave. I usually refer people to this article: http://www.foodrenegade.com/agave-nectar-good-or-bad/ . But in the end, you have to decide what’s right for you. I personally use liquid stevia, and on rare occasion, xylitol, which is definitely not clean. But I don’t use it often enough to have it be a problem. It’s all about that 80/20 rule.
April Donley says
I ordered the Clean Lunch e-book calendar for $3.00. I opened it once but didn’t get to download it. It is now telling me that I have reached my limit of downloads. Can you help? Thank you.
The Gracious Pantry says
April – If you can email me directly (thegraciouspantry at gmail dot com), I’d be happy to take care of this for you.
Jennifer Ansell says
I have been following you on twitter for a year now, your postings are very helpful. My question is a little strange. I was wondering if you had an option on gel nail polish? I have been eating healthy and exercising so I don’t want to use salon gel or shellac polish if it’s bad.
The Gracious Pantry says
Jennifer – the only more “natural” nail care products you will find will be located in a health food store. Otherwise, chemicals are your only choice. I stopped wearing acrylics for that reason myself.
Cindy Rosato says
A few years ago you had a recipe on your site for coconut milk/red lentils/ and chickpeas. I lost everything I had and have tried to find that one recipe for my family last night and again all morning! No luck– do you remember it??
The Gracious Pantry says
Cindy – Was it this one? https://www.thegraciouspantry.com/clean-eating-garam-masala-red-lentil-stew/
Michelle says
Hello Tiffany,
I just wanted to thank you for your site and the information you post. The advice you give is easy to follow, usually in a great printable format and nicely paced to ease new people into this. I like how you help others transition into clean eating while being clear that clean eating can take many forms and you have to find out what works for you. You do a lot and it is greatly appreciated.
The Gracious Pantry says
Michelle – Thank you so much!! You made my day! 😀
