Whole30 Fish Tacos

Woohoo! I made it through the Blues game without cheating even with all the beers being passed around me. Can we talk about an impressive victory for me and my Whole30 journey?! I am one step closer to completing Whole30. Today, we entered Day 12 to 15 which is dreaming of junk food. Like clockwork, […]

Whole30 Fajitas

So here we are one day 10. As the book say day 10 and 11 are the most common days for people to cheat. My goal is to survive the next 48 hours without any slip ups. This should be a challenge as I have plans to go out to dinner and the Blues game on […]

Whole30 Zoodles

Directions to make Whole30 Zoodle: Transform you Zucchini into noodles or whole30 zoodles. You can either buy a zoodle maker or use your trusty cheese grater. We used a cheese grader as who needs another kitchen gadget. Heat a pan with oil. When the pan is warm, dump in whole30 zoodles. Cook and stir periodically […]

Whole30 Pasta

Today marks a big milestone! It was my first lunch out since starting Whole30, and I didn’t cheat! I woke up this morning feeling exactly like the book would say, bloated and a bit frustrated that I didn’t see a substantial change. Yes, I understand that it has only been 9 days, but I am […]

Whole30 Chili | Paleo Chili

Brad was lucky enough to be given the day off today, and I could stomach waking up early to work…Guess who took the day off as well. 🙂 Poor Brad didn’t realize that our day off was going to be spent with a honey-to-do list. In exchange for all of his hard work, I made him […]

I overcame the exhaustion and kill everything stage to have a delightful Valentine’s Day and Day 7 of the program! Here is a little recap of week one’s recipes: Whole30 Meal […]

Whole30 Herb Citrus Vinaigrette

This dressing is great on our Stir-Fry Chicken, and also makes the perfect marinade or topping for fish, shrimp, or scallops, or fresh green salad. For Valentine’s Day, Brad and I used this refreshing salad dressing to finish our Whole30 Teriyaki Salmon Salad. Whole30 Herb Citrus Vinaigrette Ingredients

Whole30 Teriyaki Salmon Salad

Whew, we made it to day 7. The hangry phase is over, and the book says you now should be dragging. My body has realized it is not getting sugar nor carbs, but it has not 100% grasped how to use my love handles for energy. While I am a little sluggish, I am not […]

Whole30 Oven-Roasted Asparagus

A big part of Whole30 is learning how to cook vegetables, so you want to eat them. Often people talk about having boiled asparagus as kid’s and have a deep hate for the vegetable. Well don’t worry, it wasn’t the asparagus you hate, it was just how it was prepared. Whole30 Oven-Roasted Asparagus will give […]

Whole30 Breakfast For Dinner

Meal one of Saturday night was an epic failure. I took one bite and made Brad throw it away. It was awful and taught me a lesson, not every blog has quality Paleo and Whole30 recipes. There is bound to be recipes blunders, and I will gladly share my mistakes so you can avoid a […]
