It’s like they knew, back in 1941, that I’d come along and like my well-balanced initials. 😉

Pajama love.
Whole30 – Day 14
Surf & turf day. Yum.
Breakfast
My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.
Lunch
Arugula salad with roast carnitas pork from last week, half a mango dusted in chili powder, and some of the parsley/lemon/fish sauce sauce from last night. And Whole30 sriracha. Yum. And now that I’m just about out of pork, I’m bummed that I have no more. Seriously delicious.
Dinner
Spicy crab cakes with chipotle aioli, pineapple kiwi salsa and Broccolini. Recipe coming soon for this. It was excellent.
Snack
The rest of the carnitas, because I needed more protein to hit my nutrient goal for the day.

Whole30 – Day 13
Yummmmmmmm … seafood overload.
Breakfast
My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.

Arugula salad with sautéed shrimp, chili powder dusted mango and a creamy avocado dressing made with coconut water and lime juice. Light and tasty.
Snack
1 ounce plain almonds.
Dinner
Pan seared salmon filet with mushrooms sautéed in grass fed butter & coconut oil and a zesty sauce (blend until emulsified: 1/4 c. parsley, 2 Tbsp. tarragon, 4 tsp. Red Boat fish sauce, 6 Tbsp. grapeseed oil, 2 cloves garlic, juice & zest of half a lemon and sprinkle of salt). Yum.

New friend for the growing menagerie in front of the TV. This raises the question, who would win in a fight between Venom & a T-Rex?
Whole30 – Day 12
Today was full of good food. Good food that was easily Whole30.
Breakfast
You’d think having the same green smoothie for breakfast every day would be boring. It’s not. Today I made my very own DH’s green smoothie, minus the banana, and it turned out well. Maybe not quite as kicky as when he makes it, but it was good nonetheless.
Lunch
Grass fed sirloin steak salad with 1 c. arugula, 1 seared yellow pepper, 1 scallion, and a vinaigrette made of McClure’s bloody mary mix & grapeseed oil (2 Tbsp.). Yum.
Dinner
Holla. Red snapper ceviche (snapper filet, cherry tomatoes, jalapeño, cilantro, shallot, lemon & lime juice) with fried plantain.

Most of these pics were taken while meandering around the Lower East Side / Little Italy / Soho / Greenwich Village this Saturday.
