Joe is having a hard time with our Whole30 Challenge. He really misses his snack foods so when he planned on having a few guys over last night we started researching Paleo-friendly snacks and he decided on wings. He did a lot of recipe research and pretty much perfected Paleo wings (recipe to come). Breakfast:…

Another day of clean eating and I’m feeling great. Breakfast: 2 Hard Boiled Eggs and Bacon Lunch: Salad with Chicken, Hard boiled Eggs, Pepperoni, Tomatoes, Carrots and Cucumber Dinner: Beef Fajitas & Guacamole Snack: I had some Yummy trail mix from Whole Foods (Nuts and Dried Fruit) and a cup of hot tea after dinner.

Yesterday I did all of my shopping and meal planning for week 2. I found this really cute meal planner pad in the $1 bin at Target. Breakfast: Fried Egg with Roasted Red Pepper & Chorizo Joe isn’t a big fan of sausage but he liked the chorizo. We both found it a little too…

This week we are going to revisit some of last week‘s favorites and try a few new recipes that I’m hoping everyone will enjoy. Monday – Day 7 Breakfast: Hard Boiled Eggs & Bacon Lunch: Egg & Chicken Salad Dinner: Beef Fajitas Tuesday – Day 8 Breakfast: Spinach and Eggs Lunch: Leftover Fajitas Dinner: Zucchini…

Joe really misses chips and tortillas. We eat a lot of Mexican influenced Paleo foods, mostly because our family LOVES avocados and guacamole. We’ve eaten about 6 avocados this week! (maybe more) Day 5 was no exception, lots of avocados and guacamole flowing in the Lieb house. Noah has been walking around the house chanting,…

The sugar cravings hit hard on day 3. I stayed strong and didn’t give in, instead I filled the cravings with healthier options. Breakfast: Avocado Egg & Sweet Potato, Bacon Hash This breakfast was amazing, even though the avocado egg didn’t turn out exactly like I’d planned. The Egg was supposed to completely cook in…

Day 2 went much better than yesterday. No trips to the ER and we stuck with the meal plan! I was pretty surprised at how little I’ve struggled with sugar withdrawal. I have been meeting most my sugar cravings with fruit but have actually managed to keep the fruit to a minimum. Breakfast: Bacon, Hard…

Yesterday was our first official Whole30 challenge day and it went pretty well right up until dinner. Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs, Canadian Bacon, Blackberries & Green Juice. According to my meal plan I was supposed to make chorizo & eggs but Joe requested Canadian bacon so I went with it. Lunch: Blackened tilapia with a homemade…

Rather than start our Whole30 challenge on a Tuesday (since Jan 1 is a Tuesday) I opted to do a trial day on Monday. All of our meals were Paleo however we still had a few non-Paleo snacks, especially as we celebrated the new year. (ie hot chocolate and candy) Here’s what we ate on…
