As I changed my eating habits to a more clean diet my cooking skills began to sharpen and creativity flowed out of necessity. No longer could I run into a convenience store or a drive through and satisfy my hunger. I had to learn how to cook again! Below are recipes I have created using fresh vegetables, fruit, meat and fish. I hope you will enjoy and share!

I am working on some new creations and would love your input!
What is a favorite meal you enjoy, but no longer eat it because you know its not the best choice...?
Leave a comment and I will pick one meal and create a clean recipe for the Chop Stir Create audience.
