Whole30 Day 7!

Well that was the longest week of my life thus far! Not really, but seriously the cravings did hit about mid week.  I don't even normally splurge on many Starbucks but I sure was craving them last week.  The thought of no cream in my coffee seemed downright terrifying! I was proud of myself for ordering a black coffee when I met my friend.  I'm pretty sure the barista thought she had misheard when she asked "would you like room for cream" I said no, ignoring the puzzled look on her face.  

I eat pretty healthy as it is so I didn't suffer too much but the thought that I simply couldn't have something for the next 30 days did seem daunting on day 1.  Throughout the week I found some simply delicious recipes.  One was a portobello broiled in the oven and roped with sautéed zucchini, onions and pepper with browned ground beef. I topped that with a fried egg and some salsa...ridiculously good and I even ate one for breakfast!  The other breakfast that I tried was egg muffins.  Simply made with just eggs, browned bacon, sautéed pepper and onions mixed with a diced cooked sweet potato and tomato. Add a dash of salt and pepper and some garlic and pop them into the oven for 25 minutes.  These were a big hit with my husband who has constantly complained about being hungry! Finally last night I whipped some coconut milk from a can put a little pure vanilla and some pineapple juice to sweeten it. We ate it over fruit and it was divine.  It has a mousse like texture, so good!  

Now on to week 2!
