Gluten free, dairy free, and delicious?  Yes please!  Eating healthier and getting fit have taken top priority here at Small Scale Life in 2018.  In our quest for better health, we are exploring many new recipes, focusing on recipes that feature clean, whole foods.  Once you really look and realize what ingredients are actually in a lot of the processed food that we eat, it’s no wonder there are so many health issues in our country!

Tom and I were invited to do a two-week Lifetime Fitness Detoxification Program in early December, 2017 with my brother David and sister-in-law, Jenny.  We were really surprised by how yummy the recipes were that we tried!  It went so well, in fact, that we decided to start the new year off right and do it again.  No matter how good our intentions were, the holidays managed to wreak havoc on the plan!

A couple of nights ago we tried a recipe from the D.Tox program for Sweet Potato and Turkey Hash, which we adapted to include a few more veggies and seasonings.  SO GOOD!  It has a nice little kick, and was really filling.  We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
