Thanks Sharmilee, very kind of you :-)

kelli, thank you so much :-))) i'm on day 35 today and feeling great!!! i'm sure you'll manage a couple of weeks on clean very easily, looking at the food you eat already, it will be a breeze for you :-)

Thank you so much for these lovely recipes, Neeta! I am doing the Clean program and made your falafel wraps and key lime pies for a dinner party - they were a huge hit! I'd love to make some of the recipes on this post for Valentine's Day for my boyfriend, but I don't see them. Is there any way I could get them from you? Either way, please know that I'm grateful to have found your blog and that I share it whenever I can. Your knack for creating delicious, truly healthy meals is astounding! Thank you!

Neeta said...

Thanks very much greenlava for your lovely comment, very happy that you are enjoying my recipes, the falafel is one of my all time favorites too :-)
Sorry for the delay in replying, but I have been in India for the last month and also internet free - so a little late now for the Valentine's day, hope you had a great time though.....I'll post these recipes when I get back home in around 3 weeks or so.....

Neeta said...

sorry, I've simply been too busy settling in my new life in India and haven't got around to posting these recipes or blogging for the last few months - I'll get to it in a few weeks and post some new Clean recipes too.....
