Whole30-Week 4 Meal Planning

I am going to apologize now for the small Whole30-Week 4 Meal Planning list. My last week on Whole30 was filled with a trip to DC and celebrating three birthdays. All I can say is thank God I was not craving and had hit the Tiger Blood Stage! I am not going to lie; I […]

Whole30 eating out

Today is Day 24 of Whole30, and we celebrated my father-in-law’s birthday at the Fox Theater with dinner beforehand. Eating out on a Whole30 plan can seem intimidating. There are so many guidelines to the program that makes it difficult at times. The key is to ask a lot of questions, and warn the waiter. […]

Whole30 Bacon-Wrapped Chicken

I was craving my Chicken Club Sandwich, but the Homemade Honey Mustard, bread and Parmesan Crisp are not Whole30 approved. I did take inspiration from my weaved bacon  to form Whole30 Bacon-Wrapped Chicken. The Whole30 Bacon-Wrapped Chicken is essentially my Chicken Club within Whole30 compliant standards. To make the dish similar to an actual chicken club, I added avocado […]

Whole30-Week 3 Meal Planning

I can hardly believe it, 3 weeks are complete! I have gotten past the hard part of Whole30 of terrible cravings, dreaming of food and low energy. In my Whole30-Week 3 Meal Planning, I hit the tiger blood stage. I am filled with energy and have never felt better! The Whole30-Week 3 Meal Planning list is […]

Whole30 Meatloaf

Three more days until my trip to DC, and I can hardly wait to be with my best friends. I am in the height of laundry which if you are like me can take a long time. I was just flipping my second load when I realized that I hadn’t started dinner yet. If I […]

Whole30 Italian “Bread” Crumbs

So what is a girl to do when the recipe such as Meatloaf calls for bread crumbs? You make it Whole30 approved and create Whole30 Meatloaf with Whole30 Italian “Bread” Crumbs. This is a great substitute for true bread crumbs and is perfect to toss a chicken breast in as well! Happy cooking!

Whole30 Shrimp Lo Mein

As a practicing Catholic, we abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent. For someone who is doing Whole30, this can be a bit tricky as I have already given up so many food groups. A normal Catholic in a pinch would slap together a PBJ sandwich for lunch and a fish fry for dinner, all […]

Whole30 Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets

To say I love Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets is an understatement. I am obsessed! I even tried to convince my husband to have them cater our wedding. It would have been a dream come true. Surrounded by those who loved me in a gorgeous dress and eating my favorite food. I was vetoed which was probably the […]

Whole30 Ranch

Whole30 Ranch is the perfect condiment. The base is Whole30 Mayo which is delightful on its own. Below you will find the complete Whole30 Ranch ingredients and recipe. You can be like me and make a batch of Whole30 Mayo for the week and spice it up throughout by cutting the recipes, like Whole30 Ranch, […]

Whole30 Ketchup

I won’t lie Whole30 Ketchup is not the same as the processed, sugar saturated version we are used to eating. It opens your eyes to how much sugar is in your standard store bought ketchup. Our version of Whole30 ketchup cuts out all the sugar so it has a stronger vinegar and tomato tang that […]
