With my tips, experience, and recipes, as a busy mom and health and fitness coach, you’ll know exactly how to feed your household for the week (or longer), make one trip to the store, and get all the cooking done in advance; saving you money and affording you the time with your family. Plus, you’ll learn how to create and make healthy meal choices. This page leads to a selection of recipes that I use every day to eat clean and enjoy our family meals as much as we did before! You don’t need to have a salad every night to be healthy. There are a variety of meals available to you that will make you feel great!UPDATED MONTHLY *Please Note: Recipes created and posted prior to August 2014 are still being adapted to our clean eating lifestyle. With that being said, we are human and we are allowed to have a slice of pizza or cake.
