Whole30 Day 4

Day 4

BREAKFAST:

3 Hard Boiled Eggs (Cage Free, Organic) with a Banana and a tablespoon of Barney Bare Almond Butter

I love hard boiled eggs and for some reason I just don't take the time to "make" them but I am so glad I did last night. I just sliced them and sprinkled on salt and pepper...so yummy! The banana was a little too ripe for my liking (I like them still slightly green but I decided to suck it up today and eat the spotted one because that's what I had) so I ate it with some almond butter. This was a very fulfilling breakfast and kept me full till lunch.

LUNCH:

Taco salad with the leftover turkey I had last night, romaine and a scoop of guacamole.

I forgot to take a pic till I was half way through so most of my lettuce is gone. I have this weird tendency to eat all of my lettuce before eating meat and other toppings when I eat salads. Weird but I do not care.

DINNER:

Chicken & Apple Sausage, Roasted Broccoli, and Baked Sweet Potato with a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg.

DELISH. If you have never roasted broccoli you should give it a try (even if you do not like broccoli). It is so good! I just drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled on some garlic powder, salt, and crushed red pepper flakes, and "roasted" on a baking sheet lined with parchment for maybe 10 minutes on the top rack of a 450 degree oven.

How I feel...

Sadly, today I felt sleepy and less focused. I wonder if it is due to the fact that my husband has been out of town this week and I usually subconsciously do not sleep well when he is gone or if it is related to the program. A friend of mine who did the Whole30 a couple months ago said she read that most people experience fatigue around Day 5 (she said she did) so that may be what is happening. Hubs is home now so hopefully I slept peacefully tonight and feel re-energized and focused tomorrow. Also, I so did not want anything in my fridge tonight (although my meal ended up being very tasty and satisfying) so I cannot wait to go to the grocery this weekend. Now to meal plan...

Good Night and God Bless!

Also, if you are currently doing the Whole30, I would love to hear how it is going for you, how you feel, and what your favorite recipe is :) Comment Below!

Whole30 Days 14-23

When I started Whole30, it was my intent to write posts every day. Well, as you can tell, that just did not happen. I apologize. Life is just crazy and I simply have not had the time. So here is an update from the past week. Day 14 BREAKFAST: Sliced Banana with a scoop of Barney's Almond Butter Sunday mornings are super duper busy so quick breakfasts are all I have time for as I am usually running out the door at the last possible minute. My husband is a pastor so he heads to the church early so I have to get myself and our son ready. I should probably just wake up earlier so I can have a better breakfast on Sundays, but I prefer the sleep. LUNCH: Paleo Buffalo Chicken Wings with Roasted Broccoli and Whole30 Ranch Oh muh gooooosh guys. These wings were SO good. I totally ate like 6 of them. Seriously, click the link and make them like, right now. SO GOOD! DINNER: Aidell's Chicken & Apple Sausage with leftover Roasted Broccoli We also have eve...

Paleo Pancakes TWO Ways!

I have always been a breakfast eater but never really a pancake eater. I LOVE eggs, potatoes and french toast. Mmm Mmm. :) However, when I was pregnant with my son I craved pancakes like it was my job. Luckily for me, my husband is a fantastic pancake maker. I mean, seriously, he does not cook, like evverrr. But that man, boy he can make amazing pancakes and omelets....breakfast is definitely his forte...at least in the kitchen. But, sadly once lil man was born, the pancake-making stopped but my craving and love for pancakes did not. So, here we are over two years later, still loving pancakes. And believe it not, lil man loooooooves breakfast. It's the one meal I can count on him eating and loving 100% of the time. We usually have pancakes at least once a week. So, naturally, I had to move on from Aunt Jemima and Hungry Jack to something a little yummier and a lot healthier. Here are our favorite Paleo Pancake Recipes: Paleo Banana Pancakes 1 Banana (mashed) 2 Eggs 1 T...

Whole30 Day 3

Guys. Today I passed up on Spaghetti and Meatballs at Youth Group without a second thought. THIS. IS. A. BIG. DEAL. If you know me, you know that I love love LOVE Italian food. I mean seriously, the first two years my husband and I were married, he was convinced all I knew how to cook was pasta or tacos (I also LOVE Mexican food). I can cook but those are my favs and they're so easy peasy. He is used to Southern Cookin (he's a NC boy) and I don't know how to do that (although I have picked up a few recipes from my awesome mother-in-law). So, anyway I was pretty darn proud of myself. I did have the urge to take a big ole bite outta little man's garlic bread but I resisted. Anyhoo, here is how Day 3 went... Day 3 BREAKFAST: Melissa's Chicken Hash (from the new Whole30 book ) I did not have apple cider or walnuts so I used apple cider vinegar and sliced almonds. The recipe calls for arugula or baby spinach. I used baby spinach because that's what I...
