Whole30 Day 9

Breakfast:

Calm down Whole30 police.  It's Sunday and I wanted pancakes.  It's OK.  This was the almond flour recipe with 1/4c of blueberries added.  Plus coconut butter on top.  I already told myself I wasn't going to be as restrictive this time around with my pancakes.  I miss them... mmmk?

Lunch:

Leftover pork burgers with caramelized onions, mayo, and avocado.  Plus green beans.  Those little burgers are so good with that mayo and those onions... and that avocado.  The combination is amazing.

Snack:

Cherry chia smoothie... recipe coming soon!

Dinner:

It summertime!

I skipped the corn this time.

And ate endless chicken legs and a big ol' sweet potato!

Tell me your favorite summer food!
I love the sweet berries and being able to cook everything outside.  Less clean up!

Whole30 Day 6, 7, 8

Breakfast:  Coconut milk, chias, salted cinnamon coconut chips, banana, nuttzo.
Lunch:  Hamburger helper, cauliflower rice, kale, and avocado.
Dinner:  Tilapia tacos on cauliflower tortillas topped with salsa and avocado.  Plus sautéed veggies.  


Breakfast:  Smoothie made with cherries, almond milk, almonds, banana, chia seeds, and a raw egg.
Lunch:  Lazy girl lunch- Kraut and hot dogs cooked on low in the crockpot for a bit.
Dinner:  I snapped a picture of my dinner with my phone last night and somehow it's gone.  Who knows.  I had a burger and a sweet potato.



Breakfast:  Egg scrambler- two eggs, kale, peppers, onion, broccoli, and avocado.
Lunch:  Leftovers.
Snack:  Smoothie!  Recipe soon!  
Dinner:  Pork burgers topped with paleo mayo, caramelized onions, and avocado.  Plus a sweet potato topped with coconut butter and cinnamon.

So I finally broke out my hand blender to make some mayo for those burgers today... Umm hello???  What took me so long to try this?

This was done in like five minutes.

So my appetite has been really weird lately.  I haven't been hungry at all in the morning.  As you can see my breakfast have been small and when I do make a big breakfast this is what it ends up like-


I definitely go through hormonal changes during the month.  One week I'm not hungry at all and then the next I want to eat everything!  I've noticed it more and more by doing these Whole30's.  Isn't that what this is all about?  Learning about your body's relationship with food?

Are you a big breakfast eater?

Whole30 Day 4 and 5

I'm trying to organize these posts as well as I can. I'm trying to keep pictures and writing to a minimum because I know I personally don't like to read lengthy posts. Hopefully this works!

So I've been distracted the past few days with this little guy:

I got a new car! Ever tried to buy a car in your husbands name while he's not here? It's a lot of fun... Let me tell you.


Day 4- paleo pancake topped with salted cinnamon coconut chips, Nuttzo, and banana
Day 5- hamburger helper, sweet potato, and an egg


I am LOVING grated sweet potato pan fried in coconut oil.  Ahhhh heaven y'all!


Look how crispy it is!


Day 4- hamburger helper topped with avocado
Day 5- a whole can of tuna packed in olive oil mixed with half an avocado, roasted sweet potato, and two peaches


I made little sandwiches!


Day 4- hamburger helper, grated pan fried sweet potato, and an egg
Day 5- more hamburger helper mixed with extra kale and cauliflower rice

I've had a really good couple of days you guys!

I found this snack at the store.  AHHHHH.  I need more NOW.

I noticed I don't want starch some weeks and then other weeks I'm really into starches.  This week I'm obviously a fan because I've been eating sweet potatoes with everything.

As I'm finishing this post I don't like the layout.  I like posting every other day though.  I'll organize this better.

What is your favorite way to eat sweet potato?

Whole30 Days 2 and 3

It's been smooth sailing so far.  Like I've done this before or something...

Breakfast:

Day 2- Eggs, peppers, onions, and broccoli cooked in ghee.  topped with avocado.
Day 3- Paleo parfait with pineapple, blackberries, walnuts, chias, salted cinnamon coconut chips, and coconut milk.

Lunch:

Day 2- Smoothie made with cherries, almond milk, banana, and sunflower seed butter.  Plus a couple dates filled with Nuttzo.
Day 3- Broccoli fritter topped with a burger and avocado.


Dinner:


Day 2- Grilled chicken legs plus zucchini and squash cooked on the grill.
Day 3- Green smoothie made with coconut milk, banana, sunflower seed butter, kale, and avocado.  Plus I picked at some broccoli fritters.  I was nervous around dinner time and when I get nervous I don't eat.

Are you a stress eater?  
When I'm upset or nervous I can't eat.  When I'm bored, overwhelmed, or sad that's all I want to do is eat everything in sight.

Call the Whole30 police.  I broke the law... on day one.  Paleo pancakes with sunflower seed butter and salted cinnamon coconut chips.  I'm a rebel.
