Eating Clean and Saving Green--Swapping

One of the hardest things about eating clean will be doing away with many of the convenience foods I've come to rely on for meals. Not only do they make my life easier when it comes to meal time, they are also one of the best ways to save money at the grocery. But, alas, Rice-a-Roni, Betty Crocker Augratin Potatoes, Kraft Mac-and-Cheese and Knorr Mexican Rice don't make the grade when it comes to clean eating. 

Rather than buy the natural or organic versions of those products, which at times cost two to three times more, I am going to make my own from scratch, swapping out homemade for store bought. As this will take away from the convenience factor of those items, I plan on trying to make up large batches of each of favorites and freezing them. 

I'll be posting all my homemade recipes and what I am swapping them for.  


To be continued... :)
