My Clean Kitchen Turns One!!!
Wow, we can’t believe it’s been a year since we started My Clean Kitchen. It all started in Sara’s little kitchen with the idea of writing a cookbook, that quickly evolved into a food blog.

Hey Ya’ll. I’m back from my trip down south. We were gone for 12 days. Wow, that was a long time. We had such an amazing time. This trip was sort of a family reunion for my dad’s side of the family. His brother and sister (my aunt and uncle) were there, along with their…
