Clean eating . One step at a time

No more cookies and candy bars

Nuts and dried fruits

It's been a few months that I quit eating cookies and candies
and replaced them with healthier snacks like dried fruits and nuts.
I actually don't crave those unhealthy snacks anymore.
Those yummy red berries are called Goji Berries.
 They are native to China.

Growing my herbs

Living in a condo apartment doesn't mean that you can't grow your herbs!
Although I only have two in my collection :o)
How about you? Do you grow herbs in your apartment or backyard?

  1. "I quite eating cookies and candies" I think you meant "quit" and this is awesome! Good for you dear Afsaneh :)

    And by the way, I have two lovelies in my collection as well: به لیمو و حُسن یوسف.

  2. I like your clean eating posts, they inspire me to try to do the same again and again :)
    I recently moved into an apartment without a balcony and am currently trying to figure out how to grow herbs inside!

    1. Thank you Aida :o) If you have fluorescent lighting in the chicken, that's good enough light for plants. Maybe under the cabinets? You may like this: http://homeklondike.com/2011/03/10/herb-pot-trio-by-sagaform/

  4. Dearest sweet Afi, i too been wanting to eat more healthier but sometimes i fail. Your post reminded me to try harder. :) I love Goji Berries lots...and i always use them in my soups! And sometimes i add some Goji Berries with hot water and drink. It's very good for our body. I tried to grow a few herbs at home but i think i am a plant killer.. :( They never survive very long. Have a beautiful weekend and love to you!

  6. Even though I have a garden I also grow herbs in my kitchen, just in front of the window. Parsley, mint, coriander and basil, it's easy when you are cooking!
