Clean Eats

I've been on a quest to eat more clean foods, being a vegetarian I am pretty healthy already but I still like to tweak my diet on occasion. I found that the information on eating clean can run the gamut of a few simple steps to about 23 steps, really who has time for that?

So based on my research I think what most people need to know about eating clean is to
1. Drink more water
2. Eat more whole grains
3. Eat more fruits and veggies
4. Eat foods with ingredients that you know
5. Avoid processed and pre-packaged foods

I'm sure they are some other tips and guidelines out there but these make the most sense to me. And no one is perfect, I like food and I try to eat healthy nearly everyday, but I also will eat an Oreo or some frozen pizza and not feel bad about it.

Peach on Earth

We had our Office Christmas Party the other day and decided on a three ingredient no-fail recipe! It always delivers and rarely leaves leftovers. Peach-BBQ Lil' Smokies 2-14 oz package of Lil' Smokies cocktail sausages 1-16 oz jar of Peach Preserves 1-16 oz bottle of BBQ sauce Put all ingredients into a crockpot, stir and cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.  Serves 12-15, I would double for larger crowds.

Doritos Pumpkin cheese ball

1 Block cream cheese ½ C salsa (pace salsa works best) 2-3 C crushed nacho doritos Bell pepper stem Small round bowl Press and seal wrap Non-stick spray Mix with an electric mixer the cream cheese and salsa. I mix it well and until it is quite creamy/fluffy. Place a piece of press and seal over a small bowl and spray with nonstick spray. Put in cream cheese and salsa mixture and wrap up. Let chill overnight or at least 2 hours. When ready to serve unwrap ball and roll in crushed doritos and top with a bell pepper stem. I like to serve it with blue tortilla chips for Halloween, this is also great for Thanksgiving.
