Lemon Ginger Cleansing Tea (vegan, gluten free, no added sugar)
As part of the 5-Day Clean Eating Challenge, we’re encouraging our fellow challengers to stick to only one cup of tea or coffee per day and to drink a lot of water. So it seemed to make perfect sense to post a recipe for this cleansing “tea” that I love to make when my family and I are under the weather or just because. I like to make the ginger infusion at least several hours before I’m ready to drink it for a stronger ginger flavor and I will juice several lemons at once and store the juice in the fridge for convenience.

a few favorite products for cleaner eating

project pare: tracking spending
At heart I’m still a pen-to-paper kind of girl. After there’s no need to “log on,” never any wait time for a page to load and it doesn’t crash. It may burn, but I can’t remember that happening in recent memory. Two years ago, I found this little organizer in one of stores I shop out that stocks closeouts as well as groceries.

Especially food-related ones as they are our most…
