Clean Living Guide

How to Use CLG

Your guide to a radiantly healthy life

My mission with CLG is to create a tool that makes it easier to live responsibly. Treating yourself and the world with equal care encompasses what you eat, how you think and where you invest your money.

It may or may not seem unusual for a blogger to share recipes and products as well as address issues of spirituality, but these three life components naturally function as an interwoven ecosystem. Without a solid compass from which to operate it’s difficult to make heart-centered decisions.

Lead by a grounded self, you’ll eat healthier, think healthier and make buying decisions that will help to make you a steward of our planet.

NOURISHING RECIPES

The goal with this collection of recipes is to liberate you. I want to help you feel confident in buying what’s fresh and seasonal knowing that you’ll be able to easily throw together a delicious and healthy meal with what’s available to you! Because if you’re reliant on cookbooks that require planning, chances are you’re not cooking for yourself most days.

The premise is simple. Mix and match basic veggie preparations with an easy meat or main dish and dress it up with a rotation of fresh, nutrient-rich homemade sauces and dressings. Use the “Filter By Food” menu or search field located on the left sidebar to search for specific ingredients.

My recipes are layered with textures and flavors that will excite your palate, and food combinations that will deeply nourish your body. This collection of recipes will help you foster healthy eating habits, that feel anything but like a “diet”.

All my recipes are gluten free. Some are dairy free, vegetarian and even vegan. Some recipes involve animal protein and healthy fats, such as raw butter and coconut oil. I largely draw on Mediterranean, Mexican and Eastern European flavors. You will love my cooking if your mouth waters at the thought of cumin, figs and mint!

CLEAN LIVING PRODUCTS

Most of the product I feature is made by small scale producers and artisans. You’ll find that I often include background on the evolution of the company and the founder’s process in creating their business. I find that as interesting as the product itself and hope you enjoy learning about these incredible folks too.

Browse the catalog to find effective and safe beauty products, home cleaning solutions, healthy cookware, kitchen appliances and much more. To streamline your shopping experience, each catalog entry links directly to the seller. I’ve developed affiliate accounts with some of the companies who’s products I feature, but rest assured that I only form alliances with companies that meet my standards for health and safety.

My policy takes green standards to an extreme. Many companies that produce and sell ‘ecological’ products are only green insofar as to reduce carbon emissions, but still contain many chemicals that are harmful to people, animals and our environment. My curated selection of products will always be as safe for people as they are for the planet.

JOURNAL

Dive deep into the nitty-gritty of living well. Organized by topic, this is my blog. A resource for information on nutrition, spirituality, sustainable fitness, healthy home, recovery from disordered eating, gluten intolerance and so much more. If a topic straddles multiple categories you’ll find it in more than one journal section.

Scribbles + Miracles

I’m a student of A course In Miracles. Albeit a beginner, as an extension of my own learning and growth, I am called to share with you these drawings, words and contemplations. As a celebration of the changeless and unspeakable truth, the forms with which I express myself can only hint and point to the the light in which we share. This is a non-denominationl, non-religious exploration of the spiritual realm.

Health + Wellness

These well-being focused posts cover a variety of tips and resources for keeping your mind, body and soul in tune.  This may include information on supplements, detoxing your home, methods for supporting your mind, or new ways of thinking about fitness.

Grocery + Nutrition

Here you’ll find posts related to food sourcing and how to get the most nutrient rich foods for the money. Read up on considerations of food pairing, sustainable farming, artisanal food producers, how to decipher food labels, and a host of other related topics. You’ll also find plenty of resources here for shopping both online and in your local area.

Healing Project

This is a case study I conducted with my father. Posts include details about his diet, exercise routine and progress. You might learn how to heal yourself, or just enjoy seeing how eating whole, nutrient dense foods can turn a person’s life around in 30 days. Mietek lost 12 pounds and stabilized his blood sugar at a 20 point drop two weeks into the program. All this on full fat diet that included lots of fresh and lacto-fermented vegetables, healthy fats and oils, whole heritage grains, pastured meats and eggs.

D.I.Y.

Yup, you’ve guessed it. This page is dedicated to posts on do-it-yourself, easy and cheap solutions for making toxin free products for your home and body. As always, posts will not only include the how-to, but the why and how they work.

Chimichurri makes everything better 🍲 Plus it’s a great way to get a mega boost of vitamins in super condensed bites of cilantro and parsley. I always have a couple condiments going to quickly dress up simple one-pan meals! #onepanmeal #Chimichurri #breakfast
Thank goodness for my Local Butcher Shop! Being in Thank goodness for my Local Butcher Shop! Being in school has made it difficult to make it to the farmers market each week, and attempting to buy good meat at places like Whole Foods has been super disappointing.

Current tea obsession with my favorite teapot 🍵 Current tea obsession with my favorite teapot 🍵✨ Elecampane root is not only a delightfully delicious tea that tastes of violet pastilles, but comes with an incredibly long list of health benefits. Most importantly to me at the moment - noticeable metal clarity! If you haven’t tried it, you must! Be sure to decoct these beautiful roots for a low 20 minute simmer. Then freeze the completely cooled concentrated tea as ice cubes, for instant elecampane decadence. Add honey for the complete pastille experience 🌺 #elecampane #tea #tearitual #teapot #hasami #herbalism #herbaltea #healingherbs #healingtraditions #folkmedicine #mentalclariry #japanesepottery #hasamiporcelain
