It’s been a while since I’ve done a What I Ate Wednesday post so I thought I’d share with you my day of eats from yesterday. After being gone on vacation, I’m finally getting back into a routine this week of meal prepping and it feels good to be eating clean again. Here is a…
Baked Paleo Chicken Tenders
I don’t know about you but I’ve eaten countless chicken fingers in my days. I was never a burger person growing up so my meal of choice was always a chicken sandwich or chicken fingers/nuggets (dunked in honey mustard, of course). As an adult I know that fried chicken fingers are not exactly a healthy…
Paleo Friendly Options: Starbucks
Since I have started following a mostly Paleo diet, I would say the hardest part of staying on track is when eating out. If I am preparing my own food, it is very easy to meal plan and follow the Paleo guidelines, but there are times when I don’t have time to pack my lunch/snacks…
Five on Friday
TGIF!! And yay for a three day weekend! I am finally feeling on the mend from my cold I’ve had this week and am excited for a long weekend. This is actually the first year the school I work for is observing MLK Day as a holiday so it will be nice to have Monday…
Weekly Meal Plan: 3/22-3/28
Today marks day 28 of my Whole 30! Only three days left which is hard to believe. When I first started this program 30 days seemed like a really long time, but it has gone by so quickly! Even though I am excited to have the freedom in eating again, I really have learned a…
Weekly Meal Plan: 3/15-3/21
Another week of Whole 30 complete! Only 9 days left! Still feeling great, and not really missing anything except for oatmeal still. I visited my friend Kelly this weekend and had to pass on eating pizza which was tough, but other than that ordering out at restaurants hasn’t been too bad. Here is my meal plan…
How to “Hard Boil” Eggs in the Oven
One of my favorite things about lazy Saturday mornings is getting to curl up on the couch with my coffee/tea while watching The Kitchen on Food Network. It is one of my absolute favorite shows! For those of you who aren’t familiar, The Kitchen is basically a foodie talk show and the hosts are hilarious! …
Weekly Meal Plan: 3/8 – 3/14
Week 2 of Whole 30 – complete! Still feeling good and I am enjoying eating clean. I’ve also noticed that I don’t feel bloated at all after eating which has been nice. I really haven’t been craving “junk” but have definitely missed my morning oatmeal and peanut butter! I have been craving both of those…
Sweet and Spicy Beef Stew
Since starting Whole 30, I have been forced to find new recipes that are compliant with the program but also aren’t “too healthy” sounding to Kevin (ie. kale everything). This Sweet and Spicy Beef Stew definitely fit the bill. Even my meat and potato loving husband didn’t miss the white potatoes in this dish. Sweet…
Weekly Meal Plan: 3/1 – 3/7
Well I’ve officially completed week one of the Whole 30 program! I have to say I am pretty proud of myself for sticking with it so far. There were a couple of times I felt like throwing in the towel, but overall it hasn’t been too hard. The first few days I was extremely tired…
