T2 Food Cooked, days -1 through 4

Got started on Whole30 this past week. Had a bit of a setback when two days into it I realised I hadn't checked the label of the lemon juice I'd used in a tuna salad and found that it had added sulfites ... and we'd been snacking on it for two days. So those days became Days -1 and 0, and last Saturday became Day 1.

We're eating breakfast late and then making a big late lunch/early dinner that doubles as supper if we're hungry again later, so I only have to cook two meals a day.

Day 2

Breakfast

Banana-mango-strawberry smoothie
Sausage and onion fry-up

Dinner

Slow Cooker Pork Roast (modified)
Baked sweet potatoes
Dill Roasted Carrots and Parsnips
Roasted asparagus

To make the pork roast recipe Whole30 compliant: Leave out the honey and cornstarch (arrowroot can be used instead but I'm not sure if the process would be the same; I just forwent thickener in the broth), and substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce. I also used red wine vinegar instead of balsamic, and sliced up half a red onion. The resulting broth was insanely delicious, and even better when we put the carrots and parsnips in it.

Doing pretty well so far, I think!

Take Two (?)

I didn't post about it here but my family successfully completed one round of Whole30 including reintroduction. I didn't complete reintroduction correctly because I went out of town to care for relatives and ... well ... ordered a salad and there was dressing on it, was hungry and tired so I ate it anyway and gave up. Can't remember if we did another round of it between then and now....

Now I'm visiting a sister who lives away from home and she wants to try Whole30, so I'll be posting here again when we start that, sometime this week hopefully.
