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!

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.

Whole30 Day 2

Disclaimer: Due to our broken AC, the little man and I stayed with my Momma last night so my meals were semi impromptu and ended up lacking in veggies (but not in deliciousness!). Also, my meals will be a little more appealing once I have the opportunity to go to the store so don't give up on me if you're looking at these posts and thinking "Blah. Those meals are boring." 1) They're so yummy 2) They'll get better...I just need to make a trip to the grocery. Mmkay...onto the important stuff. Day 2 Breakfast: Two organic, cage free eggs over-easy with strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries. I mean, this is pretty straight forward and who wouldn't love it? I am a sucker for eggs over-easy. Lunch: Leftover taco meat topped with Muir Glen Organics Mild Salsa and guacamole. And more berries. Seriously. I wish I made more of this because it is seriously THAT good! Snack: Apple Pie Lara Bar If you haven't tried Lara Bar...
