Week # 16 of eating healthy, the #paleo way. Fruity moothie: 1 frozen banana, couple chunks of pineaple, 4 blackberries, 2 strawberries, a little bit of pomegranate blueberry juice (100% juice, no sugar, syrups, sweeteners or any other crap) My dad brought me a container of shredded meat that he had cooked with cumin, olives, garlic, red yellow and green peppers and onions. It was frozen so I defrosted it, added a couple of carrots to it and some of the left over meat sauce. Added some water to it and simmered till carrots were almost done then added a chopped yellow squash. Beef,carrots and yellow squash mixture over lettuce. Hungry? Reach for the veggies. Steamed broccoli, cauliflower, carrots and avocado. Salt and pepper to taste. Mmmm. The hubby made me a two egg omelette this morning Sautéed baby chard, baby bok Choy, baby spinach, peppers: red, green and yellow, mushrooms with a little bit of olive oil. Green beans with a little bit of vine...

I have started my 4th month in a row of #Whole30. Below are the meals I came up with this week. Enjoy! I cooked some beef chunks and then used the beef juice to cook some shredded zucchini and grated carrots. I made lettuce wraps with it. Iceberg lettuce, spinach, vine ripe tomato, olives, left over beef shredded, drizzled with coconut oil, lime juice, salt an pepper My version of a chocolate shake, the #Paleo way. It's got a frozen banana, a spoon full of 100% cocoa powder (no dairy, no sweeteners, just pure cocoa), a medium size kale leaf, a handful of spinach leaves. Filled halfway with PureAlmond unsweetened vanilla Silk almond milk (no sweeteners, no carrageenan). Always read your labels, there's almond and coconut milk out there that have carrageenan, added sugar etc, same goes for cocoa. I finished filling it up to the max Line with water, so as far as the liquid is concerned it was half water half almond milk. Angus choice roast beef...

 Where has time gone. I have completed 12 weeks of Whole30 so far.  I can't believe I have been grain, dairy, legume and sugar free for this long, but where there is a will there is a way. I'm feeling great and fit. Here are the meals I came up with this past week. Bacon, eggs and Yuca. Heated up the Yuca in the pan to char the outside a little, cooked the two eggs with tomato sauce. Steak, Spaghetti squash w/ sauce, yuca w/ garlic, lime juice and evoo and broccoli with a tablespoon of homemade mayo for dipping. The hubby made me bacon and eggs :-) Tuna lettuce wraps. Tuna with homemade mayo, mustard, salt, pepper and raisins. Rolled up in two overlapping lettuce leaves. Baked curry chicken breast, broccoli, yuca, leftover spaghetti squash and homemade mayo for dipping. Ham, tomato, spinach and eggs for a filling breakfast. Got home from the Gym hungry so I fixed this plate with left over baked curry chicken, cold, right out ...

Since I'm on the Whole30/paleo diet I can't eat store-bought Mayo.  Most have added garbage in it so I decided to make my own. Making your own Mayo is super easy. I made this batch with 1 cup of light tasting olive oil. You would want to buy the kind that says "light tasting" so that you don't end up with strong taste of olive oil in your Mayo.  Pour 1 cup of the olive oil in a jar or whatever container you will use for blending. Add 1 egg (at room temperature) Squeeze in a half lemon. I just happened to have a lime instead so I used that. A little bit of salt and blend away.  I used my stick blender, which made the job super quick and easy to clean up. I just kept blending till it got a thick and creamy consistency. Here it is, nice and creamy. I'll be using it on my veggies, as a dip or dressing and on my meats. Enjoy! Have a happy healthy crunchy green day! :-)

This, my friends, is a spaghetti squash. I cut it in half, added 1/2 cup water to a microwave safe casserole , covered it and cooked it for 10 minutes. After it was cooked I turned it over and scooped out the seeds. Next I took a fork and scraped the inside. It is very fibrous and comes off in strings, hence the name 'spaghetti squash'. Here it is ready to be served to your liking. You can drizzle it with Evoo and season with salt and pepper or top with spaghetti sauce. Enjoy!
