Whole30 BBQ Sauce

Woohoo! I woke up this morning with energy! I was starting to thinking passing out from exhaustion at 9 pm was going to be my new thing. Well, Day 4 proved that your energy will come back, but Day 4 and 5 are known as the kill all things days. Now the book describes these […]

Whole30 Teriyaki Salmon

For all my readers who are devout Catholics, you know that Lent does not begin until Ash Wednesday. BUT, here we are at day 3 of my whole30 journey. Brad and I decided to bypass Fat Tuesday and start a few days early due to retreats scheduled during Lent. As much as I want to […]

Whole30 Asian Beef with Broccoli

For our second night on Whole30, we made Whole30 Asian Beef with Broccoli. While it is not in the book, it is Whole30 compliant. Throughout the journey, you will notice I mix Paleo recipes into our breakfast, lunch and dinner schedule. Many of the principles are the same, but you have to beware of dairy […]

Southwestern Roasted Butternut Squash

The Southwestern Roasted Butternut Squash was the perfect pairing for Whole30 Pulled Pork Carnitas. It is also Paleo and Whole30 compliant which is key for my new recipes. The spicy kick of the Southwestern Roasted Butternut Squash is delicious with the natural sweetness of the squash and roasting them in spicy seasoning to give them a sneaky […]

Whole30 Pulled Pork Carnitas

Enjoy your first day of Whole30 with this delicious Whole30 Pulled Pork Carnitas. Brad and I doubled the recipe so the pork could be thrown on salad’s though out the week. It was an awesome idea to make more than needed as later in the week we whipped up BBQ Sauce and ate it for […]

Zucchini “Zoodle” Lo Mein

Zucchini “Zoodle” Lo Mein is the perfect pairing for Thai Chicken Peanut Lettuce Wraps. When I think Thai food, I want the lush textured noodle to accompany any dish. The problem is I am a carb addict, and part of my fake it until you make it is decreasing carbs. The way I eat them, made […]

Thai Chicken Peanut Lettuce Wraps

Let’s start by saying; I am a picky eater. Growing up, I was on the chicken strips and burgers only diet. It wasn’t until dating Brad (my hubby) at 17 that I went beyond the diner food. While that was a big step, it took me until after college to truly try food I still […]
