I'm a little excited about this. I got "Clean Eating for Dummies" from the library yesterday. I like the idea of lowering the amount of processed foods in my diet. I don't think I eat a ton of processed goods and I've always made a conscience effort to shop the outside perimeter of the grocery store. But I do eat processed goods with fillers and unknown additives and that's not helping me.
Lately I've been thinking about the whole idea of the acidity in our bodies and those nasty free radicals. I want to lessen this because I think they are poisons that lead to aging, tendinitis and all sorts of physical difficulties.
I bought a nice bunch of collards yesterday. I love fresh collards even though they take a bit to steam, they are so nutritious. I make them with white beans (I have them soaking on the stove...not canned) and israeli couscous. LOVE this recipe! It'll last me a few days, but if there is enough I could freeze some. We'll see. I also bought broccoli. I have to be careful with it because I get a horrible intestinal reaction with broccoli if it is raw. But I was hoping to make a healthy quiche with it for easy breakfasts this week! :)
