Whole 30 Day 17I got in from the drive in at 2 am last night. Normally I don't stay up that late...I try to be in bed by 10 pm because I work most days of the week...but it was nice to be out doing something fun. It was a double feature, and the first movie was Dixney-Pixar's Brave. I hadn't even seen the previews for that one because I don't watch… |

Fig Balsamic VinaigretteFig Balsamic VinaigretteHere's the fig dressing I made for my salad last night. There are so many possibilities with this one! I tend to eat embarrassingly large salads, so I calculated 8 servings for this one. If you eat normal people salads or side salads, you could probably get 10-12 servings out of this dressing. It was a nice… |

Whole 30 Day 8I'm getting to the bottom of the barrel in both fruits and vegetables now. I need to re-stock my produce again. I was actually lamenting to my boyfriend that I only had 1 egg left and I didn't know what I was going to do about breakfast, and my knight in shining armor showed up at the door this morning with a carton of eggs, omega-3… |

Whole 30 Day 6As I learned yesterday, I needed a bit more substantial eating today in order to get through my field work. I had a nice breakfast that was also easy to prepare this morning thanks to the fact that I hard boiled some eggs last night. I cooked up more turkey sausage and topped my mixed berries with unsweetened coconut. I also had an… |

Whole 30 Day 5Yesterday I felt good, but today I feel really great! As I look back, I realize I felt a little lethargic my first 3 days of Whole 30 and I'm quite sure if it was the diet change...not a lot was changing except no butter, yogurt, honey, or maple syrup...or if it was the unusual stint of cloudy weather, but whatever it was I am over… |

Spicy Thai Basil BeefI love Thai food, but it's taken a lot of practice to make decent home versions. I've made several curries on this blog, about half of them Thai, and one recipe for one of my favorite dishes basil chicken/beef. My first version was with chicken, but I thought it was about time that I tackled the beef version (plus I wanted to use the… |

Whole 30 Day 4Whole 30 Day 4! Popped out of bed like a daisy today! We had been having some cloudy weather in West Texas (really unusual) and yesterday was finally sunny and I soaked it up like a solar panel! Today was sunny too and that is a real mood booster for me. It's compounded with awesome salads I ate last night. I must have had some carry… |

Turkey Breakfast SausageTurkey Breakfast SausageTo make my Whole 30 breakfasts more interesting (and because I'm having trouble finding nitrate-free bacon that does not have added sugar) I made my own turkey breakfast sausage this morning. The last time I made sausage I used my meat grinder, but this recipe is a little easier because I used store-bought… |

Whole 30 Day 1I had been toying with the idea of doing Whole 30, which is a 30 day period of omitting foods that can negatively impact your health and fitness. I have been doing Paleo/Primal for almost a year now (July 1 is my Paleoversary!), and even though I have omitted the majority of foods that can cause digestive irritations in people, for… |

Zucchini BolognaseZucchini BolognaseI crawled out of the vineyard for one day just to spend some time writing and entering my data. I'm going to have to schedule days like these regularly because they are highly productive, and because there are a lot of graduate students around the building it's nice to socialize with people instead of grapevines for… |
