Hungry Girl Clean & Hungry OBSESSED!
The cookbook
This recipe is from the amazing Hungry Girl cookbook, which I’m currently obsessed with.
It is full of natural and clean recipes of foods you already love. I like to sit down for the week and meal plan with it.
There are many, many, many desserts for anyone who has a sweet tooth. There are also tons of pastas and other great recipes for the entire day. For the most part, they are all pretty easy to make as well.
If you are looking to turn clean eating in to a lifestyle, I recommend this cookbook.
