Good morning! I’m so thankful Colleen let me join you today on her healthy living blog! I’m Heather and I blog at My Life Well Loved, a lifestyle blog. I’m also super obsessed with eating healthy and making wise choices. Just to give you a little background on me: I’m married to my college sweetheart, Eric and we celebrated our 5 year anniversary in New Zealand at the end of last year! I’m a Christian and my passions include Pure Barre, clean eating (meaning non-processed foods), social media, workout swag and helping others to love their lives well.In an effort to eat healthy and enjoy lots of different recipes, I am CONSTANTLY scouring Pinterest for new Clean Eating Recipes. Even though I think it’s fairly simple to make main dish Clean Eating dishes, it’s difficult to me to find as many side dishes that I can get excited about.
If you’re looking for a tantalizing treat for your taste buds but want to keep it healthy, give this Cilantro Lime Rice a whirl. It tastes like a knock off Chipotle rice, and who doesn’t love that?! I could eat this by itself as a meal, but it also makes a great side to a multitude of dishes including these amazing White Chicken Enchiladas.
