I have hit this magical stage that the Whole30 calls Tiger Blood! 
People at work think I have lost it as I keep telling them, 3 more days until Tiger Blood hits as if is common knowledge. Of course, everyone at work was eager to know how Tiger Blood day one was going. I even had a phone full of Tiger blood memes which include the beauty to the right.
Well, here is the truth. I don’t think my Tiger Blood stage is like the light switch that the book described. The crazy dreams have ended, and people are starting to notice that my waist and face are thinner. This is always an awesome feeling, but I assumed Tiger Blood stage would feel different. For goodness sakes, Whole30 called it something so bad ass.

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 of which is not Whole30 approved. Have no fear; I have another delicious meatless Whole30 dinner for you.

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 right decision as crystal chandelier and chicken nuggets just don’t mix.

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, into smaller portions.
Obviously, you can pair Whole30 Ranch with a healthy option such as celery, carrots and peppers to have a filling afternoon snack. For me, I pair Whole30 Ranch with Whole30 Steak Fries and Whole30 Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets which are so delicious! There are some vices in this world that you just can’t break…Thank God an obsession with Whole30 Ranch is mine. 🙂 Read more
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 you will find refreshing and fulfilling after killing the sugar beast on Whole30.
Since I love Whole30 Ketchup, I served the condiment with a lot of meals: Whole30 Meatloaf, Whole30 Steak Fries, Whole30 Sweet Potato Chips, Whole30 Meatloaf and Whole30 Chick-Fil-A Chicken Nuggets. I have an obsession with condiments and Whole30 Ketchup gives me a healthier option to feed my vice. Plus, everything is better with a little Whole30 Ketchup. 🙂

Whole30 Steak Fries
I love french fries, but the traditional deep fried McDonald’s are off limits! Don’t worry; I have the perfect substitute of Whole30 Steak Fries. Whole30 Steak Fries are baked instead of deep fried which decreases the unhealthy value. You can reproduce this recipe wit any root vegetable such as carrots, beets, parsnips or sweet potatoes.

Whole30 Sloppy Joes
How better to celebrate finding new found energy than making Whole30 Sloppy Joes! Sloppy Joes with tater tots use to be my favorite comfort food, but between the processed food and carbs, I knew it was not Whole30 approved. Lucky for me and you, I found an excellent Whole30 Sloppy Joes recipe that is accompanied with Whole30 steak fries, Whole30 Ketchup and steamed broccoli.

Whole30 Greek Meatballs
Today is the last day of I dream of junk food! It has been a long three days filled with sugar plum dancing through my dreams. Last night, I did a lovely tango with a slice of pizza who dropped me in a fountain of wine. Oh yes, the dreaming of food stage had gotten a bit out of hand. Thankfully, the Whole30 book says this will end tomorrow. I pray that it does as I can’t take another wacky night of dancing food.
For dinner, I made a healthy twist on one of my favorite meals. The Whole30 Greek Meatballs were as filling as a gyro with a fraction of the calories. I paired it with a dairy free Tzatziki sauce that was to die for! Happy Cooking!

Whole30 Burger Sauce
The Whole30 burger sauce is amazing. I was craving the full flavor experience of a cheeseburger with bun. Since Whole30 bans the cheese and bun, I needed a little something to jazz up my burger. The Whole30 burger sauce is a little sweet, a bit tangy and a tad spicy. It’s amazing on a burger and works as a great sweet potato chip dip! In order to fully enjoy the dip, you have to make these delicious Whole30 Sweet Potato Chips.
