After I plan out what type of salads I will be having, I make a list (which can be done with the Dashing Dish grocery list...
Ever wonder what staple items I keep stocked in my pantry that fit with a clean eating lifestyle? Here are my top 10 clean eating pantry staples!
1. Stevia. If you have been following Dashing Dish for any length of time, you probably know that stevia is something that I use in place of sugar in my recipes. Stevia is wonderful because it is an all natural sweetener, and it is calorie free, and won’t affect your blood sugar levels. I personally like to use baking stevia in my baked goods, and...

I have been seeing so many stories on social media about how God has redeemed and transformed so many lives lately! (I love when social media is used to share positive uplifting stories don’t you!?) Whether it be about how God has helped people overcome in the area of weight related strongholds, eating disorders, or poor self image...I have be blessed to hear so many wonderful praise reports oh how God has taken the 'ashes' of peoples lives and turned it into 'beauty'.

No matter who you are, or what season of life you are in, there are days when every one of us need to be encouraged! So what do we do on the days when doubt and fear seem to be speaking louder than our faith?
Where does Doubt Come From?
I have learned that the first thing I must do on days of doubt is remind myself where the struggle is coming from. If we don't first acknowledge that we are in a battle for our faith, and that the devil comes to steal the truth away from our hearts (Mark 4:15),...
