Clean Eating Favorites

In a recent article for Arrive magazine, I report on the trend of clean eating. In it, I suggest that the best way to eat clean is to cook. (Shocking, I know!)

I also recommend a couple of clean eating recipes to get started. Here’s where to find them.

Wheatberry Salad with Zucchini and Snap Peas.

This salad is endlessly adaptable. Make grains. Make vegetables. Toss with herbs, nuts or seeds. Dress. Done. If you like this one, try these, too: Freekeh Salad with Roast Vegetables. Black Rice Salad with Mangos and Peanuts. See more salads here: Sour Cherry Farm Salads.

Hummus. And not just hummus. The Best Hummus Ever.

Hummus after five minutes in a food processor. It should be firm but very smooth.

The recipe is based on one from Yotan Ottolenghi. Greg loves it for its prominent tahini flavor and smoothness. It almost tastes puffy.

Like this? Try Pine Nut Butter or Arugula Pesto. And here are other of Sour Cherry Farm’s Sauces, Dressings, Marinades and Condiments.

Im the article, I also talk about turkey soup. Jane Brody’s Turkey Carcass Soup is one of my favorite soups of all time.

It’s especially good after Thanksgiving, because you can use the turkey carcass from your feast. But you can make the soup with chicken, too. Either way, you’ll need a good stock recipes. Yes, of course I have one. If you can call it that. I usually throw a lot of onions, celery and carrots in a pot, cover with water and add bones. But here’s a good recipe to get you going: Homemade chicken stock. Have some of that in your freezer and you’ll never go wrong.

We have lots and lots more recipes here at Sour Cherry Farm, and no, not all of them areClean.” But all of them are cooking.
