My tree has gotten itself an initial.
Whole30 – Day 28
A pretty successful day.
Breakfast
My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.
Lunch
Leftover skinless sausages, green beans and pepper/eggplant sauce from last night.
Dinner
A spin on David Lebovitz’s Super Easy Roast Chicken with Caramelized Shallots from Nom Nom Paleo – with sautéed sugar snap peas.
Hey, lookee there, it’s chicken again – and I didn’t die!
Snack
More almonds. I was hungry again after dinner.

I don’t remember exactly when this ball made it into our lives, but I’m thinking it was while my old man was a pup. It’s brought lots of the happy to the furry members of this family.
Whole30 – Day 27
I traveled from the US to the Eastern Bloc with my meals today.
Breakfast
My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.
Lunch
More heirloom tomatoes, this time with leftover Mexican Beef from last week + Saturn peaches + scallions + citrus salt. Simple, summery and very, very yum.
Dinner
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.

See, old man? Life is better for both of us when you just relent and let me take a picture of your face. You get to pretend to the world that your life is terrible and full of unimaginable doggie abuses; I get to have a portable version of your big dumb (adorable, lovey) dandruff face. Win-win.
Whole30 – Day 26
No chicken in sight today.
Breakfast
My favorite green smoothie, minus the banana.
Lunch
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*

The Weekly Dozen – Week 5
Week 5 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 Roosevelt Island this past weekend.
