    WHOLE 30 FAVORITES

    While on Whole 30, we tried a lot of different recipes. It was exciting for me to try new things each week. It took a lot of planning and prepping because some of the ingredients were new to me. There were some definite winners and losers. These are some that I plan to make again…

  • BANANA CHOCOLATE CASHEW ICE CREAM (DAIRY FREE)

    BANANA CHOCOLATE CASHEW ICE CREAM (DAIRY FREE)

    This was another ice cream flavor I tried that was compatible with the Whole 30 eating plan. We have tried a few different pairings with the bananas, but this is my favorite combination I think.

    So, a big part to why I decided to do Whole 30 was to curb my sugar cravings. They were bad! By about 10 am I would be craving something sweet. After every meal I would crave something sweet. The first few days of Whole 30 were tough because I really wanted a sweet treat…

  • TACO SALAD

    TACO SALAD

    When I went to Las Vegas to spend time with my sister and her husband and her new little baby, they made this taco salad and I have made it so many times since. To make it, I used spinach, chopped green peppers, chopped yellow peppers, fresh cilantro, diced tomatoes, black refried beans with cheese…
