My sister and I were talking and she stated that she couldn't afford to eat better food. This inspired me to break down my foods this week, all clean, all inexpensive. It doesn't have to take a ton of money to eat better. It takes awhile to think about food in a different way, eating clean allows you to experiment with fruits and veggies. The most costly thing is time - take time for yourself and create some awesome food for YOU!
