When people find out I am doing the Whole30 they always ask about it. Questions like, is it a diet? What can you eat? Can you drink alcohol? So I thought I would give a little run down of prepping and what I ate for the first week. Click on the text of the food and it will take you to the original recipe.
Because of my vacation, my first day was a Tuesday. So I did all my food prep on Monday. The day before I started I prepped breakfast for day's one, two, three, and four, I prepped lunch for day's one, two, three, and four, and I prepped dinner for day's one and two.
Day One:
Breakfast: Yam, Celery Root, and Bacon Hash, with Two Hard Boiled Eggs
Lunch: Chipotle BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potato and a Small Side Salad with Easy Balsamic Vinaigrette
Dinner: Aidell's Chicken Apple Sausage with Sauerkraut, Hearts of Palm with Tessmae's Garlic Lemon Dressing, and Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Prosciutto
Day Two:
(Day two was exactly the same as day one. If you wanna cut down with your prep-time, you have to be willing to eat the same thing for several days. I'm totally cool with that and it makes things easier and less to think about too!)
Breakfast: Yam, Celery Root, and Bacon Hash, with Two Hard Boiled Eggs
Lunch: Chipotle BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potato and a Small Side Salad with Easy Balsamic Vinaigrette
Dinner: Aidell's Chicken Apple Sausage with Sauerkraut, Hearts of Palm with Tessmae's Ginger Lemon Dressing, and Sautéed Brussels Sprouts with Prosciutto
Day Three:
(Same as day one and two with the breakfast and lunch, but for dinner we went out to eat for my mother-in-law's birthday.)
Breakfast: Yam, Celery Root, and Bacon Hash, with Two Hard Boiled Eggs
Lunch: Chipotle BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potato and a Small Side Salad with Easy Balsamic Vinaigrette
Dinner: Grilled 5 oz filet, Steamed 5 oz Lobster Tail, Steamed Broccoli, and Shredded Lettuce Salad with Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, and Salt Dressing
On day three I boiled more eggs and prepped day four's dinner.
Day Four:
(Again, ate the same breakfast and lunch. I will say the hash stayed delicious, but I was pretty tired of the BBQ chicken stuffed sweet potatoes by Friday.)
Breakfast: Yam, Celery Root, and Bacon Hash, with Two Hard Boiled Eggs
Lunch: Chipotle BBQ Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potato and a Small Side Salad with Easy Balsamic Vinaigrette
Dinner: Shepherd's Pie
Day Five:
Breakfast: Paleo Breakfast Burritos
Dinner: Cilantro-Lime Chicken Bowls
Day Six:
(Same breakfast and lunch as day five, but we picked up Chipotle for dinner. YAY! Chipotle can be Whole30 compliant!)
Breakfast: Paleo Breakfast Burritos
Dinner: Chipotle Carry-Out: Carnita's Salad (double meat), with Tomato and Green Salsas, and Guacamole.
On day six I prepped day's seven, eight, and nine's breakfast, and day's seven, eight, and nine's lunch.
Day Seven:
Breakfast: Hard Boiled Eggs and Avocado with Roasted Asparagus
Dinner: Leftover Shepherd's Pie
Everything was super yummy and the whole family was satisfied with the first week of food. I would make any of these recipes again. The ones that stand out were the shepherd's pie, the chicken bowls, and the curried soup. If you are going to make anything on this menu - MAKE THOSE!
Onward to week two. I made a trip to the store and already prepped some things today for the rest of the week!
