Bathroom philosophy? Book quote? From Barnes & Nobles.
Sesame Ginger Chicken Zoodles
This dish is quick to throw together, uses minimal ingredients I usually have on hand anyways, and is waaaaay better than takeout. A win/win/win situation.
Paleo, Gluten-free, Whole30
Sesame Ginger Chicken Zoodles
1 large zucchini
1 lb. boneless skinless chicken thighs
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
1 tsp. grated fresh ginger
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1 tsp. red chili flakes
1/4 cup toasted cashews
Sauce
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds
2 Tbsp. rice vinegar (which is surprisingly W30 compliant)
2 Tbsp. coconut aminos
1 Tbsp. grated ginger
2 cloves grated garlic
1 Tbsp. tahini
2 Tbsp. sesame oil
1/4 tsp. white pepper
Heat 1 Tbsp. sesame oil in a large pan over medium-high. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the pan. Add the rest of the chicken ingredients and stir-fry until the chicken is cooked through and browned.
While your chicken is working, make your zoodles (I absolutely love my Gefu spiralizer for this). In a small bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients together.
To serve, toss the chicken with the zoodles and sauce.
Serves 2 for dinner

The cold weather hustle in Herald Square.
Whole30 #3 – Day 30
I feel like I should have eaten something more exciting – gone out of Whole30 with a bang, somehow. Of course, I didn’t think about adding flash or sparkle to my day until *after* I’d heated lunch and sat down to scarf leftovers before completing a few rows of knitting.
Breakfast
My favorite – DH’s green smoothie + hemp protein powder and coffee with homemade almond milk.
Lunch
The last of my leftover Unstuffed Cabbage Rolls with the one lonely leftover pork rind crusted chicken tender languishing in my Tupperware containers.
Dinner
Dinner was at least kind of exciting. I remember last Whole30 craving salsa like it was going out of style – this time, not so much. Luckily, I had the ingredients for a lazy Mexican bowl/pretty much paleo nachos minus the crunch on hand (you know, just in case I was stranded during the blizzard-that-wasn’t, or in case the Super Bowl thing we’re going to was lame and full of crap I don’t want to eat).
Snack
No real snacks, but I had a coconut water at yoga class.
Whole30 #3 – Day 29
Today was good – dinner was delicious and lunch was a great repeat.
Breakfast
My favorite – DH’s green smoothie + hemp protein powder and coffee with homemade almond milk.
Lunch
Leftover unstuffed cabbage rolls again.
Dinner
Nom Nom Paleo’s Bagna Cauda with pork & beef meatballs.
Snack
1/4 cup sunflower seeds + sparkling water with orange.

Unexpected show night – which was fantastic.
Whole30 #3 – Day 28
Temptation, thy name is unexpected tickets to a weeknight show – and themed cocktails.
Breakfast
My favorite – DH’s green smoothie + hemp protein powder and coffee with homemade almond milk.
Lunch
Leftover unstuffed cabbage rolls from last night.
Dinner
The hubby had a late lunch and didn’t care – and I wanted to make sure to have time for a workout before leaving for the show we were going to see, so I just made the protein portion of dinner – pork rind crusted chicken tenders. Despite the pork rinds being a bit chewy in spots, this was everything I had hoped it would be. I need more pork rinds.
Snack
Midday slump sunflower seeds + Starbucks Pike Place Roast with homemade almond milk on the way to the train. I did *not* have the first cocktail on this list – pout – even though it’s siren song was calling my name.
Whole30 #3 – Day 27
I think I might be in love with the pork I had for lunch, and I’m going to be sad when it runs out. Dinner wasn’t too shabby, either.
Breakfast
My favorite – DH’s green smoothie + hemp protein powder and coffee with homemade almond milk.
Lunch
Salsa verde pulled pork with sautéed Cruciferous Crunch.
Dinner
Paleo unstuffed cabbage rolls.
Snack
Sunflower seeds – again – because soooooooomebody (me) didn’t check the label on the roasted cashews I bought and they were tossed in bran oil.
