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…

Whole30 Day 1
Day 1 was a breeze. In the morning I had a Whole30 compliant coffee creamer. I didn’t have time to make breakfast at home so at some point during work I made some eggs and ate them with salsa and strawberries. ‘ The afternoon was so busy so I didn’t have time to make lunch…

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.…

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…

Steak Dinner
Thursday night my husband cooked up a simple steak dinner from a beautiful grass-feed sirloin that I acquired from our local health food store a few days prior. Seasoned with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Here we have caramelized onions, mushrooms and a few carrots because nothing goes better with a steak than caramelized veggies. I…
