Thin and healthy, I shall be

"When nine hundred years old you reach, look as good, you will not, hmmm?" 
Ok so maybe not 900 hundred year, but yoda was a weird little dude. So added to that toe, I want to look good now, not in 900 years. So clean eating it is. And hungry, this girl is!! 
Lentils. Veg. Stock. 30 min. That'll do. 

Over med high heat, in a large pot, heat 3 tbsp of olive oil. Chop one onion into small, uniform pieces. 3 cloves of garlic, minced,, 1/2 bag of baby spinach, 1/2 c shredded carrots, 1/2 c broccoli, 1/2 c chopped asparagus, 1/2 c corn, (you get the idea. 1/2 c of whatever the hell you want.) sautée with salt, pepper, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, chili powder, again. Whatever floats your boat. After sautéed slightly add 1 bag of dried lentils, 1 can crushed tomatoes, 1 can tomato paste, and 6 cups of liquid. (Stock, water, vodka, it's really your choice :) bring to boil then simmer for 30 min. I serve mine with feta cheese, but parm is good too. Bon apetit!

Clean eating!

Ok people, I'm watching this weekend long Star Wars marathon, and one thing is for certain, Leia is skinny and beautiful, and I envy her. So I hop on over to Pinterest, and as I am sullenly looking thru low carb, low in fat, low in energy, low in taste, high in want to off myself, I see this thing for clean eating. Now how hard can this be? I eat a ton of fruit, veg, grains, etc, so this should be a piece of low  fat dairy free cake. Go me! So I shall be reporting on recipes, for I am off tomorrow.
