Whole 30 Day 7

I'm beginning to see a theme with my "breakfast was consumed in a hurry" speech. Once again, breakfast was eaten in the car on the way to work. I snapped a quick picture as I was heading out to the car.

I didn't have any meat in the house today. I went to the grocery store to buy some meat, but at lunch time it was all still frozen. I was starving with not a lot of time, so I just threw this little lunch together:

Applewoods black forest ham (uncured, nitrate free), spinach, carrots, avocado & mustard.

This afternoon I threw some frozen chicken into the crockpot. When I got home my H got creative and had started making chicken skewers for the grill. I remembered reading about a skewer glaze on some paleo blog, so I blended up some pineapple & orange on a whim. It was really good! H also made some delicious guacamole.

Whole 30 Day 6

I'm serious when I say that breakfast this morning tasted like french toast. Maybe it's just been too long since I've had REAL french toast, but holy cow this was delicious. H mixed some of yesterday's sausage hash with 2 eggs into an omelet. AMAZING. Can't wait to eat this again in the morning. He cooked it in coconut oil so there was a bit of a "crust" on the outside once it cooled a little and the sweet potatoes made the filling taste sweet. Add a list cinnamon and BAM, seriously fantastic "french toast."

H came home for lunch and we threw together some burgers.

Sharing an instagram pic of me and big C :)

idk why this is sideways and I'm too lazy to fix it :) The only meat we had in the house tonight was tuna... so I searched pinterest for some ideas. I found this recipe for paleo tuna cakes and my friend suggested we try theclothesmakethegirl's Cocoa Toasted Cauliflower. We loved the tuna cakes! The cauli... eh, not so much. But she LOVED it, so I guess it just depends on your tastes :)

And one more pic. Me and little C.

Whole 30 Day 5

Breakfast was this delicious masterpiece. Karina's Sausage Hash (recipe is in "Everyday Paleo"). Basically just pork sausage and sweet potatoes. Good thing H doesn't like sweet potatoes, more for me :) It was really, really filling and delicious.

Typical work day lunch, tuna salad! Tuna, apples, celery & mashed avocado

After CrossFit we came home and threw a grass fed T-Bone steak on the grill with some veggies. This was my portion. The three of us shared the steak. I was still kind of full from breakfast and lunch! 

I did much better today by eating PLENTY of food. 

Whole 30 Day 4

Breakfast was eggs and coffee. No pic because they looked the same as always :)


Lunch was leftover Shepherd's pie. Here is big C's lunch, red bell peppers, avocado & nitrate free (applewood) black forest ham.

Dinner was paleo orange chicken. Yummmmm.

Today, after inputting everything, I only ate about 1000 calories. Yikes!! Definitely not enough, but I just didn't have a lot of food in the house to eat. I'm eating much more Day 5. I was able to control my carbs and sugar today. I snacked on a few berries, but that was about it.

Whole 30 Day 3

Breakfast was, once again, on the fly. I was eating scrambled eggs, putting on makeup and feeding little C pears in the back of the car on the way to church. So.... no time for a pic :)

Lunch was FastPaleo.com's Gourmet Sheppard's Pie. We love this one and have made it several times :)

Dinner was going to be orange chicken, but I realized I don't have coconut aminos :( H decided to cook eggs on the grill (?) instead. It was yummy. Eggs twice today, oh well! I threw some sweet potatoes in my eggs along with zucchini & onion. And some applegate nitrate free bacon. 

Big C saw me taking a picture of my food and said he wanted me to take a picture of him with his food too! 

I went overboard with the fruit today. I bought dried mangos at whole foods yesterday, MISTAKE. Those things are so delicious, the container is gone today. Yes - such thing as too much of a good thing. I ate dried mangos as well as several blueberries and raspberries. About an hour later I was seriously craving ice cream! I couldn't understand why I was having this sudden urge until I realized ALLLLLL the sugar I've had today in fruit. Yikes. Definitely don't need to be eating that much sugar tomorrow. Protein usually helps me curb my sugar cravings, so I was much better after dinner. All is well now.
