A spin on David Lebovitz’s Super Easy Roast Chicken with Caramelized Shallots from Nom Nom Paleo – with sautéed sugar snap peas.

More almonds. I was hungry again after dinner.

I traveled from the US to the Eastern Bloc with my meals today.

Breakfast

My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.

Lunch

20130827-190123.jpg

More heirloom tomatoes, this time with leftover Mexican Beef from last week + Saturn peaches + scallions + citrus salt. Simple, summery and very, very yum.

Dinner

20130827-190152.jpg

Eastern Bloc night. I made the ćevapčići (beef & lamb skinless sausages) from The Clothes Make The Girl, along with her recipe for Ajvar (red pepper relish) and a side of sauteed green beans. Dinner was pretty good, but a bit bland.

Snack

1 ounce sea salt dusted almonds.

No chicken in sight today.

Breakfast

My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.

Lunch

20130826-185101.jpg

I wasn’t very hungry, but had some tomatoes that needed to be eaten. Made a salad of sliced heirloom tomatoes with a nectarine and citrus salt. Delicious.

Snack

Hungry happened at about 4 today, so I had some sea salt dusted almonds.

Dinner

Snack 2

Dried mixed prunes, apple, peach and pear.

Rogan Josh (from The Clothes Make The Girl) over sautéed kale with fresh cucumber. *beefy drool*

Whole30 – Day 25

I ate a lot of chicken and chicken-related products today.

Breakfast

20130825-154014.jpg

Grabbed a naked breakfast sandwich (chicken, egg & cheese – minus the roll and cheese) from the deli down the road.

Whole30 – Day 24

Whole30Badges24

Snacks, mini meals and a movie.

Breakfast

My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.

Lunch

20130824-141756.jpg

You could call it a weekend lunch rut, or a healthy obsession: Hu Kitchen grass fed/grass finished meatballs again (hey, I limited myself to 4 this time – I’m counting this as progress) and a bigass coffee with coconut milk.

20130824-141818.jpg

I also got some crazy good looking raw beet/carrot/kohlrabi/kale/parsley/lemon salad.

For future reference: the meatballs contain beef, tomato sauce, shallot, eggs, garlic, celery, carrot, onion, basil, parsley, almond, sea salt, crushed red pepper & black pepper.

Dinner

Dinner happened in snack stations. Luckily, I happen to live in a city where eating food from the deli counter is a “thing.”

20130824-221752.jpg

Before the movie (World’s End, which was hilarious) – cold ratatouille with grilled chicken from a gourmet market.

20130824-221822.jpg

After the movie (where I sat sipping my smuggled bottle of water while crunchings and munchings happened all around me) – Aloo Mattar (cauliflower & peas) with roast chicken thighs from Whole Foods. And a kombucha.

Tonight’s dinner could have been a disaster, but by deciding I wasn’t going to let it be, it wasn’t.

Breakfast

My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.

Lunch

20130823-190553.jpg

Chicken breast with nectarine, heirloom tomatoes and scallion. Tasty.

Snack

1 ounce sea salt almonds.

Dinner

20130823-190621.jpg

Went out for BBQ, and the only thing on the menu that was Whole30 compliant is the coriander pork shoulder. So, half a pound of pork it was. And it was good.

Staying Up Way Too Late Watching Torchwood Snack

1 cup cherries, 1/2 cup pineapple.

Whole30 – Day 21

Whole30Badges21

Another successful, easy day.

Breakfast

My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.

Lunch

20130821-182629.jpg

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

20130821-182657.jpg

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.
