Whole30 shopping is different than our regular shopping. I used to be able to shop every 2 weeks but with so many more vegetables and fruits I now have to shop every week. And despite the fact that we aren’t buy all of the old foods we used to eat it’s still more expensive. I’m…

Saturday  was gorgeous here in NC. After the morning fog rolled away and we ate lunch we headed outside to visit a local park, get coffee and go grocery shopping for Week 3 (which starts tomorrow) of our Whole30 Challenge. Breakfast: Fried Egg, Bacon and Sweet Potato Hash I’m still working on a Sweet Potato…

I need to go grocery shopping, yesterday’s meals were a bit of a hodgepodge of random things I could find in the house. I think we did pretty well with what we had. I woke up super early to get the stitches removed from my hand where I stabbed myself  with a knife on day…

Another fairly normal day for the Lieb family. Jude went to preschool, Joe went to work and I stayed home with the littles all day. I have always enjoyed cooking but have recently found it a challenge with 3 little kids but I’m learning that like everything else I do with 3 littles it just…

We’re still doing pretty well with the Whole30 challenge. I’m having a harder time dealing with the sugar cravings, especially in the evening. I used to use chocolate as a stress reliever but now I need to find a new stress release. Thankfully I haven’t been as stressed lately as usual, maybe the Paleo diet…

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,…
