Whole30-April 1, 2014

Tomorrow starts a new 30 days for 12 women going through the Whole30.  I can really appreciate these different women, challenging themselves to rethink and approach food differently.  I look forward to hearing their exciting stories of success after the thirty days are up.  The Whole30 isn't easy, but that is why I want to help people.  My desire is to make these 30 days as easy as possible.  I create meal plans, email recipes, text daily encouragements and offer any information needed for someone to be a success in this next month!  There is nothing worse than feeling like you are alone in something.  Well, you are not alone!  I hope you being to enjoy cooking again; find new flavors, and a new love for whole foods.  Who knows you may never what to eat anything from a box again!

Week One

• Grilled Chicken with grilled asparagus and shallots-side with fresh blueberries
• Stuffed Portabellas and steamed green beans
• Lettuce leaf tacos with shredded chicken-salsa w/o sugar
• Baked Tilapia with a Mango salsa
• Baked Pork Chops and Garlic Mashed "Potatoes"

What kind of recipes do you enjoy while on the Whole30?  What do you miss since you have done the Whole30?  I would love to hear from you!

Whole30-Week 3, 2014

We are over the halfway mark!  By now, your pants are probably fitting a little looser and your energy should be fully charged.  For some of you, weight-loss isn't quite noticeable yet.  For others, cooking dinner is becoming fun again for them.  Where ever you lay within that, I hope that you all are beginning to enjoy food in a new way.  My challenge to the group this week was to eat something that you used to dislike before.  Your taste buds are changing and you may actually like that food now.  For me, it was shredded coconut, but I now love my monkey salads!

Week 3

• Baked Tilapia with Root Vegtable & Califlower Puree
• Roasted Chicken and Sautéed Swiss Chard and Red Onion
• Thai Lifesaving Curry
• Steak and Berry Salad-omit cheese for W30
• Curried Cream of Broccoli Soup

Hope you all are enjoying these meals and ideas for dinner.  What is your favorite W30 recipe?
