Oy Vey!

Sunday is our day to take dinner to Marc’s Grandparents. Since Marc and his family are Jewish I thought it would be appropriate to make Matzo Ball Soup and a juicy corned been brisket. Mmmmmm….!

Well before all of that I must add that I didn’t have a very eventful morning. I had a few pieces of turkey bacon that Marc cooked up and a protein shake. Blah.

BUT my soup turned out amazing! My matzo’s turned out to be the size of softballs and had a nice soft yet firm in-the-middle texture.

I couldn’t wait for dinner so I had one for lunch šŸ™‚ – and of course a piece of chocolate for dessert. We received a lovely housewarming package from the housing association! A cute little basket with some fall towels, a recipe book and chocolate!



I simmered the corned beef in the slow cooker for 4 hours and it turned out beautifully! A little salty but enough for all of us!

We didn’t actually eat with the grandparents as they like to eat at 5 and that is a tad to early for us but they really enjoyed their dinner! When we arrived back home and after I put Baby J to bed I made myself a hot corned beef sandwich with Jewish Rye Bread, stone ground mustard, swiss cheese, a few pinches of sauerkraut and of course slices of corned beef. I know I will be puffy in the morning from all of the salt but it was damn tasty!

Hello, and welcome! I’m so glad you’re here.

I started The Clean Eating Mama back in 2008 as a place to share my love of wholesome food and healthy living. Over the years, this little corner of the internet has grown and changed right along with me.

Here you’ll find simple, nourishing recipes, thoughts on clean eating and wellness, and little pieces of my everyday life. In many ways, this blog has become a personal diary of sorts. This is a place where I can share what I’m cooking, what I’m learning, what I’m loving, and where life happens to be taking me.

Healthy living doesn’t have to be perfect or complicated. For me, it’s about making choices that help us feel our best, enjoying good food, and continuing to learn and grow along the way.

So grab a cup of coffee or tea, stay awhile, and welcome to The Clean Eating Mama. Read full bio.
