I decided to participate in the Whole30, and seeing that it is after midnight I just completed day 6! Woo Hoo! To be honest it hasn't been that hard since I have items in my fridge to throw together. Wayne and I were talking about it today and I told him I'm surprised I have made it this far. He started laughing and complimented me on keeping with it, especially with all the temptation. There was a plate of Hershey Kisses on the coffee table. I signed up for the Whole30, not Wayne and not my roommate. So I have not gone through the house and thrown everything away that has sugar, dairy, grains, legumes in it and I haven't thrown away the processed foods either.
Friday night for instance I made a Whole30 compliant dinner including a yummy avocado dressing. However there is an avocado dressing I made for Wayne before that has Greek yogurt (I admit is out of this world delicious). So I made that for him. For last night's dinner (Saturday night) I made a Chocolate Chili (Whole30 approved) and I ate that with some cauliflower, olives and onions & my dressing. While Wayne ate some jalapeno cheddar sausages he grilled. Some he topped with the chili and some with the Greek yogurt avocado dressing.
OKAY I have to tell you about breakfast! It was YUMMY! However I have to make a confession, I totally stalked Hannah's blog, Shanks for the Memories to find the recipe. I posted a question on my Facebook asking if anyone had done the Whole30 and Hannah said she had. Well I thought to myself that she is a way better blogger than I am and I bet she blogged about it and SHE DID! It was encouraging to read a blog by someone I know who has done the Whole30 because it made it more attainable to me. If that sounds weird, I'm okay with that...I'm weird! Anyways she posted a Breakfast Egg Casserole Recipe and I thought I'm going to try that. Now I did make the sausage but I used ground beef because that is what I had and I substitute mushrooms for the zucchini. I told Wayne that I have made a couple different breakfast casseroles in my day, but they have either had milk or cheese or both in them. With this casserole I don't miss them! Truth be told I am looking forward to breakfast in seven hours. Try it, you will thank me later!
