Welcome to Fresh Cut Ginger, a budget-friendly guide to Clean Eating. It's really nothing too fancy, I absolutely love making food for my friends and family, creating new healthy recipes, and sharing everything that I have learned on my clean eating journey in hopes that it may help someone out along the line. That, and being asked "soooo...what do you eat?" almost every time I bring up being vegetarian or eating clean, I decided to create this blog. If anything, it will at least help me keep all my recipes in one place!
There is a myth that eating healthy HAS to be expensive, but I want to prove that even on a college budget of $20-$30 a week it is more than possible, but can taste amazing as well! What the heck is 'clean eating' you ask? Or maybe you've heard about it, but think it's just for crazy hippies (like my mother used to think...)? Find out more here! I will tell you all about it and how it has completely changed my life, and may hopefully change yours too! Just a snippet about what you may find here on Fresh Cut Ginger: This is a collection of my own personal recipes as well as recipes found all over the place that I have created 'cleaner' versions of! I may not post every day, especially since I am new to this whole thing, but I plan to post as often as I can! - I am vegetarian which means that yes, my recipes will be vegetarian as well! However, I want the focus to be more on how healthy and delicious clean eating can truly be, so much so that you meat eaters out there won't even miss it! -While I love trying new recipes that have really awesome ingredients that can only be found at the most prestigious of health food stores, but the fact of the matter is that I truly cannot afford them most of the time (I AM a college student, after all!) You will almost will find 'normal' ingredients (usually from the produce sections) in my recipes aside from a few clean alternatives that I always have stocked. If I ever swap something for a clean alternative, I will include what it is being substituted for. Though being fully clean is ideal, every little step counts, and sometimes you have to make due with what you have! -I like to get creative with what I already have in the fridge, which means my recipes can definitely be altered to whatever YOU may have on hand, so I will offer some other recipe alternatives and "onions would taste amazing in this too" suggestions! Well, Let's get cooking! |
