I am an American expat who loves to explore the world through the plate and is always curious to learn more.
Whole30 – Day 22
Mmmmmmm……. beeeffff.
Breakfast
My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.
Lunch
Leftover lamb samosa filling and green beans from Tuesday’s dinner. Still delicious.
3 PM Slump Snack
1 ounce sea salt almonds.
Dinner
Slow Cooked Mexican Beef from Nom Nom Paleo with sautéed broccolini and cauliflower “tortillas”. So much yum.
Whole30 – Day 21
Another successful, easy day.
Breakfast
My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.
Lunch
4 ounces leftover roast pork from Whole Foods with 1/2 cup eggplant (1.5 c. raw) sauteed in a Tablespoon or two coconut oil – finished off with a squeeze fresh lemon juice and a good helping of salt. Good, but a little oil-logged and not quite as crispy as I had envisioned. More lemon would have helped.
Dinner
Grass fed top round (which is a bit tough when eaten like a steak), half a container of heirloom tomatoes sprinkled with salt & Japanese 7-spice, and a sautéed orange bell pepper. Satisfying, albeit a touch chewy. But those tomatoes … those tomatoes were the proverbial bomb.

They Just. Keep. Multiplying.

Little round Asian eggplant. One of my local, seasonal veggie impulse buys from this weekend’s ridiculously heavy Whole Foods trip.
Photo taken old school, using a prime 50mm lens + 2 magnifying filters from the old SLR kit inherited from my Dad. I think the result turned out well, despite my eyes being all out of whack and not wanting to focus clearly through the lens today.
Whole30 – Day 20
Mmmmmm….. Lamby tacos.
Breakfast
My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.
Lunch
Seared chicken thighs & pineapple + heirloom cherry tomatoes, toasted pecans and the rest of that herb sauce from last week’s salmon. Delicious.
Dinner
Snack
1 ounce sea salt almonds.
Deconstructed Samosas from Nom Nom Paleo with butter head lettuce wraps and broiled green beans. Delicious and fun to eat.

Look at this old man face.
Whole30 – Day 19
A happy food Monday full of chicken.
Breakfast
My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.
Lunch
2 chicken thighs + sautéed peach + heirloom cherry tomatoes + toasted pecans + balsamic drizzle. ❤
Dinner
Buffalo Chicken Pasta from PaleOMG. Yummmmmmmmmm and it hit that crazy buffalo sauce craving right where it lives.

The best Summer has to offer. Needless to say, I was ridiculously excited to see these guys at the grocery store this weekend.
The Weekly Dozen – Week 4
Week 4 of the ‘Weekly Dozen’ challenge. The gist is to share your 12 favorite pics per week – in an effort to make one more mindful about taking and using the camera daily.
Most of these pics were taken while meandering around Grand Central/Bryant Park this past weekend.
