Whole30 Week Two

Chocolate Chili

Wow. We made it through an entire week. No real changes yet and I'm not sure how to feel about that.

Day Eight
Breakfast: Breakfast casserole
Lunch: Carnitas on lettuce w/ avocado (This recipe is a real keeper, whether you're doing a Whole30 or trying to feed a man :P)
Dinner: Fajita salad w/ avocado ranch dressing
Prepped: Cashew Larabars

Day Nine
Breakfast: Breakfast casserole
Lunch: Fajita Salad
Snack: Smoothie with yellow grapefruit, pineapple core (where the bromelain is!), pineapple juice, kale, banana, orange, kiwi, water
Snack: Homemade Larabar
Dinner: Beef stew over mashed sweet potato (mashed and mixed with coconut oil and coconut milk)

Day Ten
Breakfast: Breakfast casserole; baked sweet potato
Lunch: Chicken Salad with avocado dressing, apples, grapes on lettuce leaves; steamed squash and zucchini
Snack: Homemade Larabar
Dinner: Beef stew over mashed sweet potato
Snack: Monkey salad (no nuts)

Day Eleven
Breakfast: Smoothie with kale, carrots, fresh gingerroot, beet, apple, banana, frozen mixed fruit, water
Prepped: Spice mixes from Well Fed 2
Lunch: Mustard Lime Chicken; garlic creamed spinach [from Well Fed 2]; mustard Brussels sprouts [from Well Fed 2]; tomatoes; mashed sweet potato; applesauce (gotta love using up all the bits of leftovers in the fridge!)
Dinner: Bison-pork meatballs (yes, bison is pretty delicious); garlic mayo for dipping; pan-fried kale; tomatoes; baked sweet potato

Day Twelve
Breakfast: Sausages, eggs
Lunch: Smoothie with kale, carrots, banana, cranberries, almonds, kiwi, pineapple, pineapple juice, coconut milk
Dinner: Carnitas; salad with balsamic vinaigrette (Confession--I freaked out after realizing that the balsamic vinaigrette was made from wine and thought that I'd ruined my entire Whole30. Turns out it was safe after all...)
Snack: Pumpkin Coconut...stuff. It was this recipe I'd tried to make and it didn't turn out too well. I tried to save it by turning it into pumpkin-coconut butter cups, but that was even worse and eventually made me want to vomit. Even the thought of them makes me want to vomit.

Day Thirteen
Breakfast: Smoothie (by this time I was tired of being so detailed with my record-keeping that I became less specific, at least with the repeat meals)
Lunch: Green grilled chicken salad
Snack: Homemade Larabar; pistachios
Snack: Rest of smoothie
Dinner: Burger on lettuce; homemade ketchup [from Well Fed 2 but I was not super thrilled with the taste]; mustard (an excellent Whole30 companion); roasted white and sweet potatoes

Day Fourteen
Breakfast: Eggs; fruit
Lunch: Green chicken salad with strawberries, grapes, pear
Dinner: Carnita meat (this was a fend-for-yourself-too-tired-to-make-much night)
Snack: Monkey salad (my monkey salads usually consisted of banana, coconut and cinnamon, though sometimes I'd throw in some blueberries)
