| My first Whole30 meal was simple and delicious. 3 eggs cooked on the skillet on top of spinach and drizzled with a little olive oil. Topped with avocado slices and salt/pepper to taste. Served with a side of berries and less than 5 minutes to make. Quick and easy breakfasts are perfect for all of us on the go! |

| Whole30 simple and delicious lunch. Grass fed, grass finished beef browned in the skillet with some Whole30 approved taco seasoning. (I use penzey's spices which you can order online) or you can make your own taco seasoning with all the spices in your cupboards! Topped with homemade salsa (I usually do something like: 2 tomatos chopped, 1/2 an onion, several cloves of garlic, fresh cilantro and 1/2 jalepeno with salt and pepper to taste all chopped in my vitamix). Finally, serve on lettuce wraps (organic if you can) and enjoy!:) |

| This is the first dinner I made on the Whole30. Not exactly easy, but worth it. Seriously delicious. These are Red Pepper Chicken "burgers" and here is the recipe: 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 red
bell pepper, cut into large chunks (seeds/stem removed)
1 tsp
salt
pepper to
taste
1 clove
garlic
¼ cup
almond flour
2-3 TBSP coconut or avocado oil
Add all ingredients to food processor (vitamix) Pulse until the meat is ground
pretty fine (like ground beef texture) and everything is combined well. Scoop
out enough to form a burger and flatten into a patty. Repeat for remaining
patties. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place patties in
and cook for 1-2 min. per side and then finish in the oven for about 20-25 minutes at 400 degrees. Serve with dipping sauces of your liking. I LOVE guac and salsa for pretty much everything and serve with some fresh veggies. Enjoy!

| Frozen bananas make a great guilt-free snack on the Whole30. Though you aren't really supposed to "snack" much, if I'm really craving something sweet I can bust out one of these bad boys. Buy some empty popsicle sticks on amazon or from your local craft store. Cut some bananas in half. Insert the stick. Wrap in aluminum foil, freeze and enjoy! |
 |
| Chicken fajitas are a super easy dinner (or lunch) option on the Whole30. Sautee up whatever fajita vegetables you prefer in either some ghee (clarified butter which you can find at your local healthfoods store or on amazon. Be sure to look for organic and grass-fed ghee). or use a couple teaspoons of either olive oil, coconut oil or avacado oil. Cook up your organic, free range chicken in the skillet and add your veggies. Again, we used Penzey's taco seasoning for the flavor. Make up some homemade salsa and guacamole for toppings (for Guac I usually just do a couple avocados, fresh cilantro, a squirt of lemon and lime juice, some garlic powder, a dash of cayenne and salt and pepper to taste). Enjoy on organic lettuce wraps. |

| Game days for your favorite sport's team can be rough during the Whole30 if you don't have some Whole30 approved game day options! These all worked perfectly and were crazy delicious. Throw some grass fed, grass finished nicely seasoned burgers on the grill and top with homemade Whole30 mayo (see whole30.com for mayo recipe) mustard, homemade ketchup (see whole30.com for ketchup recipe) or some dill relish, most pickles have added sugar which is not allowed, but relish does not). Cut up some onions (we did 2 and it made A TON) dip in egg seasoned with salt and pepper and then dip in almond flour that you have seasoned with whatever seasonings you would like. We did dill, Penzey's sandwhich sprinkle, salt and pepper. Lay out on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet and bake at 425 for 10 minutes. Enjoy! See the recipe below for hot wing cauliflower included here. |

| "Hot Wing" Cauliflower. If you like a little spice and you're like me and you love wings, you will LOVE this dish. Perfect for parties, game day, etc. Here is the EASY recipe: 1lb head of cauliflower washed and broken up into small florets
2 tsp. olive oil
1tsp garlic powder
1tsp paprika
1tsp chili powder
½ tsp salt
½ cup franks redhot
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425. Place cauliflower in a bowl
with a lid. Add olive oil and shake to distribute evenly. Then add dry
ingredients and shake again to make sure pieces are coated evenly. Spread
cauliflower out on baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes. Pour wing sauce over
baked cauliflower and let stand 5 minutes (or stick back in oven for a few
minutes to cook the sauce in a little more). Makes 4 servings. |

| You can't go wrong with steak and potatoes and the best thing is...they are Whole30 approved!!! Just don't over-do it on the starchy white or red potatoes for weight loss. We marinated the grass fed, grass finished organic steaks in penzey's seasonings and did a "dry rub" of sorts. Slice up some red potatoes, drizzle with olive oil and your choice of seasonings, throw in aluminum foil pouch and let cook in the oven for about 45min-1hour at 400 degrees. Sautee some mushrooms and onion in about 2tbsp of ghee and add spices. Simple and delicious! |

| I like to keep lunches super simple. I'm usually in a hurry on my lunch break as many of you probably are, and this is a great speedy option. Make your sweet potato chips in large batches ahead of time (evenings, weekends, etc). Slice potatoes thin, drizzle with olive oil and seasonings and bake on aluminum foil lined sheet for about 30-35 minutes or until done at around 400 degrees. Store and re-eat all week long:) For my tuna salad, I keep it simple. Look for wild caught canned tuna with ONE ingredient: TUNA. No chicken of the sea for you! Chop up a few slices of organic apple in food processor, add 1-2tsp. dill relish and add your can of tuna! That's it! Drizzle with a little homemade mayo and your done. And pineapple just rocks. |

| Whole30 chili is amazing, easy and just down right delicious, especially on a cold winter's night! Here is the recipe: 2 pounds grass fed, grass finished beef 2 cans diced tomatoes (NO ADDED SUGARS) 1 can tomato sauce (NO ADDED SUGARS) 1 small jar tomato paste (NO ADDED SUGARS) 3/4tsp. chili powder 1tbsp. garlic powder 1tbsp. cumin 1tsp. onion powder 1 cup free range chicken broth (or two depending on what consistency you want) salt/pepper to taste. Brown the ground beef in the skillet, then add to crockpot. Add all remaining ingredients to crockpot, stir and let cook on low for 4-6 hours and enjoy! |

| Whole30 Approved Fish and Chips. Pretty darn easy and pretty darn delicious. For the sweet potato fries, cut potatoes into thin fry-like pieces. Drizzle with olive oil and seasonings and bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until done at 400 degrees. For the fish: choose a wild caught light flavored white fish. Dip in egg and then dip in almond flour (with seasonings added). Pan fry in skillet in about 2tbsp coconut oil and then finish off in the oven for about 25 minutes at 400 degrees. Serve with some greens to get some extra veggies and homemade Whole30 ketchup and enjoy! |
 |
| This is an example of a typical breakfast that I really enjoy. Scramble up 2-3 free range organic eggs with some spinach and onion and top with homemade fresh salsa and guac. Serve with a side of berries. Yum! |
