So, I started this whole "clean eating" thing back in February 2011, after being really intrigued about a plan called the Whole30 . I decided to give it a go, but quickly realized that I needed to make it more adaptable to the way that our family eats and lives. I like my glass of wine at night. I don't think a piece of gum is going to sabotage me. I think that a DQ Blizzard is a good thing every once in a while. If my friend makes the most awesome jalapeno poppers you've ever had, you know I'm going to have one. But I also know that I feel pretty darn good when I'm eating quality proteins, fats, veggies, fruits and nuts, while leaving out dairy, grains, legumes (including soy and peanuts) and the big one, sugar, at least most of the time.
Here are some of the ways to do just that....

Greens N Eggs

This is comfort food for me, and pretty easy to whip up.  Of course, it's also really good with a nice, thick piece of toasted sourdough bread.



Greens N Eggs

1/2 lb peppered bacon, diced
1 red onion, sliced
8 oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
4 TBS white wine, to deglaze--could probably leave out
8 oz chopped mustard greens
4 oz baby spinach
8 eggs
S&P
red pepper flakes (optional)

In a large pan that has a lid, saute bacon for a few minutes and then add onion and mushrooms and continue cooking until onions turn translucent, stirring often.  Deglaze with wine and stir well.  Add greens, stir, cover and cook until greens wilt,  about 5 minutes.  Stir again and crack eggs over greens mixture.  Season with S&P and red pepper flakes.  Cover and cook until eggs are done to your liking, about 5 minutes for us.
