Bon Appetite! In 2010 my husband (then fiance) tracked our diet progress through our blog on the "Paleo Diet". The diet really transformed our way of living and with much dedication, enabled us to maintain a higher quality of life. Through the Paleo diet I found many creative ways to prepare, store, and consume foods. Food eventually became a fuel rather than an indulgence. However, after a full year it became old and not so exciting and the inventive side of me became tiresome. I started to seek other alternatives to EATING CLEAN. I came across the "Eat Clean" diet and tried it out for a couple of months. I loved that I could eat whole grain and dairy products again (without feeling guilty). The Eat Clean Diet is similar to the Paleo Diet. However there are addidtions to the "Allowed" foods list. Whole Grain Products (Natural state) such as steel cut oats and sprouted bread is permited along with certain dairy products. We found that this diet was a bit more practical and it fits well with our active lifestyle. I hope you enjoy the blog and our posts. Your feedback is appreciated! Check out the list of resources on "FAVORITE BOOKS" to learn more about the diet.

Marinara Madness!

This is an amazing marinara recipe that you can top meatballs, white fish, or just about anything with!

You'll notice the recipe calls for white wine. Do not skip this! The recipe isn't the same without it.
Of course i doctor it up a bit... So i also add 1 cup of water (because it's too thick), 1 tsp of red pepper flakes, 1 tbs of sugar (optional-brings out the flavor), and more salt to taste. You can also use crushed tomatoes to avoid the whole food processing step ( i also go this route).
