Craving Old Favorites!

Ok I have to give props to my hubby first and foremost. Everyday this week he has fixed a very clean and good dinner for me after my workout. He said that he would do that for me until the 12 weeks are over. Thanks and I love you babe! Now a funny thing happened to me today. As I was driving home from my workout out, I started wanting some of my old favorites. Mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, pinto beans, cornbread, fried catfish, chicken, biscuits and gravy, and I could go on and on, but I won’t. So instead of deciding that I would break my streak of eating healthy, I decided that I was going on a search. In my clean eating magazine they have recipes for clean mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese, and a not really fried fried chicken. So I have decided to make each of these recipes in the next couple of days and that way I can have them, but not the way that I used to. I am still looking for a clean cornbread recipe. No such luck on a clean recipe for fried fish. When I found healthy versions of my old favorites I felt like the all All-State commercial “we got you covered”, or Apple “there’s an app for that”. My boys however are not to hip on the healthier versions of their old favorites. They are all asking when they can have real food again. They don’t realize that what they were eating before was the fake food. I hope that they will get used to it soon.
