June 27, 2018 Monday was the start of the aforementioned transformation challenge and round 2 of my Whole30. Unfortunately I am not doing a true Whole30 because part of the challenge is food logging on the My Fitness Pal app. I didn’t even make it past day 1 anyway because Monday evening I made Wonton… Read more
Whole30 Round 1 update/results
I broke Whole30 on what would have been day 21. I am happy to say that it was not due to a moment of weakness– it was by definite choice. It was Sunday, April 8. My husband and I went out to an Indian lunch buffet. It is a newer place in north St. Pete… Read more

Smothered Chicken with “Rice”
Last night’s dinner was inspired by this recipe from Just A Pinch. Before finding that recipe, I acquired a homemade batch of cream of mushroom soup from a local market and wanted to somehow incorporate chicken. I used Pinterest to search for “cream of mushroom with chicken” and the aforementioned recipe looked like the perfect meal!… Read more
Shake ‘N’ Bake Pork Chops
Recipe via Primal Palate! The recipe can be found here. So here’s how this all went down– we’re going to go way, way, back.

Philly Cheesesteak Stuffed Peppers
I recently made Philly Cheesesteak stuffed peppers for dinner with the random ingredients that I had. I cut and boiled the bell peppers, sauteed the mushrooms and onions, I did my best to cut the steak into thin strips (totally failed at that) and made two pieces of cheese fit across the four pepper slices.… Read more
Breakfast: Shakshuka
Earlier in the week a Facebook friend {funny how we have actual friends and ‘Facebook friends’ right?? Such an interesting classification. Like she and I aren’t friends in that we hang out being that we’ve never seen each other outside of a certain environment, but we definitely have a relationship of sorts. Her daughter was in… Read more
