We spend a lot of time scouring the web for tasty, trendy, and healthy recipes. It’s one of the many perks of working at Greatist. In the process, we come across some amazing resources for easy meals that prove cooking healthy doesn’t have to be expensive or a giant time suck. And now, we want to make a habit of sharing them with you!
This week’s featured foodie is Alexis of Lexi’s Clean Kitchen. After discovering firsthand the healing power of food, she was inspired to create recipes that omit negative health instigators, like gluten, grains, most dairy, and refined sugars, while still delivering serious flavor.
