Whole30 – Day 6: Feeling Alright

I made some really delicious meals today – although only remembered to take a photo of lunch before chowing down. Here is what I hoarded and prepared: Meal 1 – zucchini & bacon fritters with onion relish from Eat Drink Paleo.  These were seriously delicious.  I varied the recipe by using coconut flour instead of…

Whole30 – Day 5:

Day off work sick today – Paleo flu/ cold/ bad back = cranky Holly. After a quick frittata (egg, ham, zucchini, tomato) made by hubby before he left for work, I curled up on the couch with a hot water bottle, some tissues and the new Eat Drink Paleo e-cookbook.  Irey from Eat Drink Paleo has…

Whole30 – Day 4: Turkish Breakfast Plate

Five-ish years ago when I traveled Turkey,  I ate a traditional Turkish breakfast most days: eggs (usually boiled, although scrambled in fancy establishments), olives, tomato, cucumber, bread, butter & jam.  It was easy and satisfying, although I do think we got bored of it after 3 weeks. Today I took inspiration from this traditional meal and came up with…

Whole 30 – Day 3

Feeling a bit rubbish today, but can’t tell if it is the Paleo transition or the cold, or both. I skipped coffee this morning and had a lemon water to sooth the sore throat.  Then made a mish mash hash of ham, zucchini, spinach, tomato and 1x egg (last one left!).  Was pretty tasty, but…

Whole30 – Day 2: Sick? Hungry!

Whole 30 – Day 1 Easy Peasey

Today was pretty easy; I ate lots of delicious whole foods, generally felt satisfied, and my energy levels were fairly good….until mid afternoon.  I intended to eat only 3x main meals as suggested in the Whoe30 program, however by 3.30pm I was hungry and slightly irritable – clearly missing an afternoon coffee/snack/chocolate. Today I ate:…

Whole30 Prep – Vegelicious

Today I woke up feeling a little sorry for myself after quiet a large birthday night out.  I enjoyed champagne, several margaritas, a punch bowl, a nice pilsner beer, coffee flavoured tequila and a very delicious but very non-paleo friendly Asian banquet! I spent the afternoon in the kitchen preparing food for my first week…
