My favorite clean/cleanish Pinterest meals are incoming! I've made all of these at least twice.

Sweet Potato Cheeseburger casserole

I was a big fan of this one! Yummu the next morning tossed into eggs with a flour tortilla, too.


Blackened Fish Tacos

Can't go wrong with lean protein tacos. These are one of many options!

Quinoa Enchilada Casserole

Cauliflower bites sound amazing !!!

Sooo my boyfriend is trying to lose weight so I can share a few of his recipes. If you guys want the actual recipe message me and I can get it from him!

One thing he LOVES to make is pasta with zoodles (zucchini noodles). You can also use carrots. He likes it because its still filling, not as many carbs, and just overall healither for you because its a vegetable.

The second one he just made this week was homemade veggie burgers. He is still perfecting his recipe but they were pretty tasty when I tried them. 

Lastly, it isn't a real meal, but Morning Star veggie chicken nuggets are the BEST. I don't think they taste very different from regular chicken at all.

are zoodles good?

• Chicken Breast (basically anyway but my favorite is in a pan with some seasonings, no cream, no heavy oils if I can help it).
• Salad w/ grilled chicken or tuna (particularly during the summer).
• Crockpot pork tacos (pork, pepperocinis, and whatever seasonings you do - we like spicy).
• Meatloaf (mashed potatoes & greenbeans for sides)
• My go-to snacks are carrots, cucumbers, bell peppers & hummus! Plain sugar snap peas.

I recently did a chicken breast recipe that was great!

• Heat up olive oil in a pan, put in garlic (about a spoon full) as well as your desired seasonings, cook for a moment then put in the chicken breasts. Once they're mostly done add in halved cherry tomatoes and let those cook through the end with the chicken.

I served with squash and cheese raviollis.

Basically the lean meats are my favorites (I stay away from steak or beef, even though I do love it) and tend to stick to chicken breasts. I like to add tuna packets onto my salad and I get the flavored ones. If I think of anything else I'll post again but I tried to post things that are easy and what you can change up according to what you want. I cook a lot so I'm sure I'll have more to post later on.

Oh and just to shamelessly promote Sam for her, she has a food blog:

It's sorta the bomb.

You can also trow somestuff in that you love :D i only eat that stuff cause idk whatelse to eat :P

Just a heads up that these recipes are all Greek food xD (it can take a bit long, but your body will thank you)

Green Beans, Greek style: it's all veggies (unless you eat it with feta) and therefore very healthy. But it's filling! I promise lol I've been eating this all my life.

Spinach and rice: another veggie fave of mine. Also goes great with feta cheese lol! It can be a sidedish or a main meal.

Greek burgers: have them with or without a bun, or wrap them in a giant leaf of lettuce.

Stuffed tomatoes: this can be a veggie dish or you can add minced meat, but it will make it heavier.

As you can see, the recipes are coming from the same website. The woman who runs it is a nutritionist. Personally, I've made minor tweaks to some of her recipes to make them taste like my grandma's recipes, but it doesn't make them unhealthy. Also, some of her instructions are super weird and time-consuming, so you can ask me for tips. I'll post more as I remember them.

Oh! Quinoa Salad!!

Here's a salad I just made. Throw it all together and voila. Top with a reasonable amount of some creamy salad dressing or use a mix of olive oil and lemon juice. You could even add some salt and pepper!

• 1 pack of whatever salad you like. I had ready-to-use mixed greens.
• 2 tomatoes, sliced
• 1/2 a cucumber, sliced (or more if you like)
• 2 carrots, peeled and shredded
• A healthy amount of whatever cheese you like, cubed. I used gouda, but any hard, sharp cheese is good. Or feta :D
• Optional: shallots or red onion, sliced

so cheddar is useable lol

I love that site ^^

Salad ideas!

We like a lot of Lebanese and Greek cuisine here, too. A lot of it is already very plant based (or easily can be) and very rich and full of flavor without being heavy on the fat.

I like to make a huge pot of taco filling every week. It's just a can of red beans, a can of black beans, rice (2 cups dry thrown in the rice cooker), a generous amount of salsa and taco sauce, and then I crumble firm or extra firm tofu and throw it in a frying pan with taco seasoning. This makes enough to fill an entire pot when it's all done and shuts the roommates up pretty well. As for the tacos themselves, honestly they're pretty good with just some extra salsa or sauce, and avocados. A dollop of plain Greek yogurt makes for a healthier substitute for sour cream. 

Gardein vegan chicken sliders are amazing and completely indistinguishable from real chicken. Same with their vegan ground beef substitute. Our roommate thought we caved on the whole vegetarian thing.
