recipe: 2 quickies!

i have successfully been eating 100% clean (minus a few drinks last saturday) since april 1st. it has not been easy, and when i started out on this journey, i intended to stop after day 15. but here i am on day 16 still chopping veggies, making protein shakes, and eating lots of fruit.

the hardest part about eating clean for me has been the time i have to spend in the kitchen. i have cooked more the past 2 weeks than i ever have in my life. but it's been kind of fun, and as an almost 25 year old woman, i should probably know how to do these things anyways.

below are two quick recipes for your veggies from none other than heandsheeatclean.com.

sweet potato cubes

1. heat oven to 400 degrees.
2. cut potatoes into small squares.
3. cover baking sheet in foil (makes cleaning up a lot easier).
4. drizzle with olive oil, sea salt, & black pepper.
5. bake for 15-20 minutes.
6. remove & flip to the other side.
7. bake this side for 15-20 minutes.


i have been mixing about 4oz. of sweet potatoes with a 1/4 cup of quinoa for a delicious meal!

 
lemon & garlic roasted veggies
 
1. heat oven to 405 degrees
2. choose your veggies! i have now done this with zucchini and asparagus & loved both.
3. cut however you'd like. i chopped the zucchini into small pieces & left the asparagus whole.
4. cover baking sheet in foil (makes cleaning up a lot easier).
5. drizzle with olive oil.
6. cut lemon in half and squeeze juice onto veggies.
7. sprinkle with sea salt, garlic powder, and pepper.
8. bake for 8-10 minutes.
 
 
enjoy!
