Eating Clean can help you loose weight, increase energy, avoid medication, prevent disease and boost overall health. Local foods found at farmer’s markets are super “clean” meaning they are not processed, refined. sprayed with pesticide or loaded with chemicals and preservatives. This makes the farmer’s market the best, healthiest and happiest place for a clean eater (and really for all of us). Going to farm markets is one of my favorite activities (alone and with my family and new puppy). Here’s why…

PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP BALLS

You will love my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Balls. They are an easy to make treat without the guilt. The recipe makes about 24-32 balls (depending on size). I made these on the bigger side. The only problem is, they are so delicious it’s hard to limit to just 2 (the actual serving size).. I just made a big batch of these to keep in the freezer for the week! I have a feeling they won’t last very long.

SPOOK-TACULAR CHICKEN AND RICE STUFFED PEPPERS

These stuffed peppers are so much fun and great for all ages. I am sharing a simple chicken, rice and beans recipe, but there are so many other ways to stuff them. Most recently, I used leftover pumpkin chili. A fun twist could even be spaghetti, steak and peppers or macaroni and cheese. These peppers are filled with brown rice, but you can substitute quinoa or any other healthy whole grain. Feel free to modify spices based on your taste. And don’t get fooled by the number of steps. It’s really simple…especially if you use a rotisserie chicken and packaged rice.
