Hello World

This is my first post on Eating Green, Eating Clean. So let me introduce the blog and myself. This blog is dedicated to eating good, local, in season, healthy food, put together with love. If I can do it, pretty much anyone can.

I am a working graphic designer with a busy house to keep together. A year ago I found out that I had gallstones. I had a choice to make, either take out my gallbladder or change my diet. Hmmm ... surgery or a lifestyle change. I picked the lifestyle change. This meant cutting out dairy, pork, and saturated animal fats pretty much right away. As time went on I started cutting out gluten, cutting back on salt and refined sugars. It also meant a lot of research, which I'm hoping to share with you, along with a lot of recipes and tips.

If you are reading this, I want to say one thing: Getting to a healthy place takes one step at a time. I'm still taking each one as it comes. The thing you can start doing today is start reading labels. If it looks like a short story, or like it is written in Latin, very slowly put it down and walk away. It is just that simple, and just that hard.

Life is all about the journey. Let's take one of healthy eating together.

Until next time...

- Melissa
