Chicken drumstick I made tonight... Delicious and so easy! Also verrrry cheap. Got a pack of nine drumsticks at Aldi for only $3.12. I figure three drumsticks is a serving, so that's just over a dollar per serving! Can't get much better than that! Best Chicken Drumsticks Ever – Raw chicken drumsticks (I’ve done between 5…

Yay that's awesome! How is Day 1 going? So I made it to Day 21 with no slip ups.... then Fourth of July happened. I was good at first- scrambled eggs with guac for breakfast, then grilled steak kabobs on my new little grill. Whole 30 had really never tasted better! But then I went to a carnival... I got a pork chop on a…

Thanks for that kale chip recipe! I followed it to a t and they came out great! I know completely understand the obsession with them. This weekend was definitely hard, but I stayed the course. Spending the weekend at my boyfriend's house really tested me, especially when our date night consisted of bowling and a movie…

Made this for dinner tonight- pretty good! I substituted chicken for the shrimp because that's what I had on hand. I also made some cauliflower rice to serve it on. Making the "rice" made me realize I need a real food processor and my magic bullet might not be cuttin it... COCONUT SHRIMP CURRY PREP TIME 15 mins COOK TIME…

Hi Stefanie! So I'm currently on Day 10 and it's going pretty well. The hardest part is having to cook so much, to be honest. Although it seems restrictive, once you start cooking with what you can have, you realize it's not so bad :) Good luck and happy to have you along for the ride!

Made this for lunch tomorrow! Just didn't put in any honey and added in some chicken: http://iowagirleats.com/2015/04/20/sesame-almond-butter-zucchini-noodle-bowls/ Ingredients 1/2 cup smooth almond butter 3 Tablespoons low-sodium gluten-free Tamari or soy sauce or Coconut Aminos 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil 1 Tablespoon…

How long do you bake your kale chips and at what temperature? I made them once and ended up burning them... but I know I need to give them another try. So today's eating wasn't the best. Well mostly just dinner. Started the day with a hard boiled egg and a banana. Lunch was shrimp with salsa with strawberries and kiwis on…

Thanks @dmfaler!

Hello! At least those four challenging days aren't making you stop... good for you for getting back to it! I think I unintentionally cheated this weekend. I ate out twice (well one was ordering in... but still). I got a burger patty at a grocery store, but was kind of weary of what was inside- seasonings, marinade, oil…

It went ok... I had pretty high hopes for it. I think it needed more garlic and butter and a little less lemon. I ate it with a cabbage slaw, so I think that made the dish because it offered some crunch and sweetness. Definitely a recipe to play around with for future tries :)

Yeah... I think I just overestimate how much spinach and avocados I'm going to use each week... and tomatoes. Produce is just so pretty I can't help but buy it! haha So Day 5 is in the books Breakfast: An apple and cashews Lunch: Two stuffed bell peppers with the leftover meat sauce from earlier this week Dinner: Lemon…

Excited to make this tomorrow night! Lemon and Garlic Tilapia (Baked) http://www.shrutisdilectabledilites.com/2012/11/29/lemon-and-garlic-tilapia-baked/ Servings: 3-6 servings Total Time: 15 minutes Ingredients: 3-6 Tilapia filets (6 oz. each) 6-8 cloves garlic, crushed and diced large 2 1/2 tbsp butter (4 tbsp – if no…

Breakfast today was a handful of cashews and dried apricots. Lunch is basically my dinner last night in a new form- i diced up the chicken and made a sort of chicken salad with the guac. Then just put that on top of the sweet potatoes. It's not too shabby. I also have some sugar snap peas and cherries lined up for snacks.…

Hi Laura! Thanks for finding us! @dmfaler Yay Chicago! Maybe we can even swap restaurants that have Whole 30 compliant meals :)

It's super easy. Cut the squash length-wise. Drizzle with some olive oil. Put flesh side down onto a baking pan. Bake at 425 degrees for an hour. Let cool and then with a fork, scrape out the flesh of the squash! And yes, made my own meat sauce according the the Whole 30 book. Can of crushed tomatoes, an onion, one carrot,…

Yay @EliMaks! So today is pretty much a repeat of yesterday. Eating leftover spaghetti squash and meat sauce for lunch and dinner, two hard boiled eggs and nectarine for breakfast, and strawberries, cashews, and cherries as snacks/supplements to lunch and dinner. Going to a movie tonight, but tomorrow night I'm really…

Woohoo @dmfaler ! Glad you'll be along for the ride with me :) @vocallycool The Whole 30 is all about eating whole, clean, non-processed foods. No flour, dairy, legumes, alcohol, or added sugar is allowed. It's meant to be done for 30 days as a kick start into eating foods that work with your body instead of against.…

I'll be officially starting next Monday after some family comes to visit me this weekend (there is no point starting beforehand haha). Feel free to add me! Maybe we can share recipes!
