Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Today is my first day of Whole30 in 2016! I am excited to go on this journey again to get my body feeling better and, hopefully, lose a little weight along the way. As I preparing to get started and talking with friends who are also starting today, I realized that there are some Whole30 essentials that are key to being successful on the program.

January always brings plans to get healthier and eat better. For many, that includes starting a diet or new eating plan. For me, that usually means I start a month of Whole30 again. Even as a Whole30 veteran, I still find it can be difficult to be successful without lots of great resources and planning. So, in case you are interested in trying Whole30, I’m sharing everything you need for a successful Whole30 program.

Happy Paleo Monday! I know we took a little bit of time off from our traditional Paleo recipe on Monday thing but I’m back with a new one and you are going to love it. Cauliflower enchilada casserole is my Paleo solution to my husbands favorite enchilada casserole. I even made a primal version for him so he could have cheese on top 🙂

Mondays during the summertime are always a little tougher. We spend a ton of time outdoors enjoying the pool or just hanging with friends so it is always a little harder to get back into the grind of the office. Of course, it doesn’t help when I also have wine slushies around the house either. So, in addition to resetting myself back into work mode, I also try to reset my body back in better eating mode. In our house, we do paleo meals Monday through Friday and then allow ourselves to indulge on the weekends. To me, it really is the best of both worlds. I don’t have to give up my cocktails and nachos, but I still give my body really good, real food for most of the week. This week, chipotle chicken with avocado salsa is on my menu.

You guys…it is Paleo Monday! For me that it is totally a thing as I reset after my free eating weekends and get back on track for my week of paleo eats. Today, I am sharing with you one of my current snack obsessions. This paleo avocado toast is so amazingly good that you are going to want to devour it even if you aren’t following the paleo guidelines for food. So, maybe we should just call this the best snack…ever.

You know how they say that a stomach is a way to a man’s heart? In my case, tacos would definitely be a good way to try and go after my heart. From bang bang shrimp tacos to turkey tacos and cranberry salsa to pineapple pork tacos, I just can’t get enough.

Ever since I started Whole30 in January and then moved to a more sustainable Paleo diet, I have been in love with cauliflower rice. It is quick and easy and tastes delicious. I use it a lot in place of rice under my stir fry but I tend to have a lot left over since I am the only one in my house that enjoys it. So, I went in search of different ways to use cauliflower rice and found these 9 great ideas.

Ok, so you remember January when I was totally eating like a cave girl and doing Whole30? Well, a funny thing happens during Whole30 and you start doing “strange” things like eating soup for breakfast or eggs for dinner. I can’t tell you how many strange looks I got at 8am when I was warming up my Thai ginger zucchini soup in the office kitchen for breakfast. Not as strange as the guy with the turkey dinner waiting for the microwave but still some raised eyebrows. This soup is seriously so good though and, while most people would probably enjoy it for lunch or dinner, I some how really wanted it for breakfast a lot.

I’ve talked a lot here and on social media about my adventure doing Whole30 this month (I even had a friend share her words of wisdom!). I started on January 5th without thinking about how that might impact our Super Bowl plans though. I’ll still be finishing up Whole30 when we host our Super Bowl party which means I need some Whole30 Super Bowl recipes to make so I can actually eat! Just in case you are in the same boat, or maybe just want some healthier options at your party, I’ve gathered up 13 recipes that are Whole30 compliant and perfect for game day!

I mentioned earlier this week that I was doing Whole30 for the month of January. I’m on day 4 now and feeling pretty good. My good friend Liz is actually the person who inspired me to finally try Whole30 so I’d thought I would have her share some of her thoughts on it, tips and tricks for surviving Whole30 and even her goals for this round. {Psst…at the end there is a link to 30 recipes to get your through Whole30 too}
So…meet Liz
