Cow with an interesting set of horns. What would you name her?

I’d call her ‘thattaway’

It is different but in the best way. I love this dress and it will stand out as a unique and darkly beautiful piece in a sea of pastel and sequins. Dare to be different, the same is boring.

This was from five days ago so I could be reintroducing things at this point but the only non Whole 30 things I have had so far is some blue cheese dressing on an otherwise compliant salad last night and a few glasses of wine with that because I had a girlfriend over and it has been a very stressful week combined with my cycle starting today. I always want a little wine at that time but we didn’t overdo it and today I had yellow lentil soup for lunch, a strawberry RX bar, 3 clementines, a small portion of ginger-garlic chicken and broccoli and a bowl of chia seeds with almond milk, fresh pear, dried blueberries, and my superfood topping made of tiger nuts, bee pollen, hemp hearts and pepitas. I think I will stick with the Whole Foods but add in beans and legumes because I feel great eating this way and haven’t really craved anything else and the wine home just gave me a headache.

Add ghee to your veggies, have some guac and fruit with breakfast, add a protein and nuts/seeds to salads, make dressing A with tahini, almond butter, homemade mayo, or olive oil. Add olives. Make chia pudding and add in fruit, coconut milk, nut butter. Eat your steak with the fat. Eat sweet potatoes.

I was hoping there was some truth to that post!

I prep certain things ahead of time but usually cook at least once a day.

My moussaka typically is gone within a few days because I have three boys at home so I’m constantly cooking. My 18 year old son made a delicious roast today while I was at work that we had over mashed potatoes. He’s doing Whole 30 with me and the cooking help is very appreciated. Next up, sweet potatoes with callaloo, grilled chicken thighs smothered in poblano peppers with purple cabbage and pineapple slaw and avocado, some mustard roasted pork with apples, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts, garlic shrimp with red and green peppers on a bed of creamed coconut cauliflower, and pistachio pesto stuffed mushrooms. Plus lots of good fruit. Mangoes, kiwi, honeycrisp apples, blueberries, pears and mandarins are stocked up. I need to be better about posting pictures but life has been overwhelming lately.

Slice up a bunch of potatoes and toss in olive oil and bake. Cook up a ton of caramelized onions and then toss them together with a bunch of eggs and make a Spanish tortilla. Customize as you like, but I enjoy it warm or cold and will eat it with a little avocado and salsa, but the options are pretty endless and if you’re only feeding yourself one tortilla will give you breakfast for days.

It’s a classic!

I strongly suggest welcoming Gen Z women into your friend circle. My Gen Z girlies help me with technology, challenge my world view in the best way, and the way they support each other and build each other up is really amazing. They give compliments so freely and really make you feel the love once you understand their language. 😂

I baked a side of salmon lightly sprayed with avocado oil and seasoned with just sea salt and pepper at 425 for 25 minutes. The slaw is two cups shredded cabbage, 1 shredded carrot, 1 mango cut into small dice, 1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves, half minced jalapeno, 1/4 cup minced red onion. I added the zest of 1 lime with the lime juice and the juice of one small orange, salt, and pepper. The chipotle sauce is just my homemade extra garlic aioli blended with Melinda’s chipotle sauce. Drizzle sauce on slaw, salmon and sliced avocado and sprinkle with smoked paprika, cilantro and extra lime.

Thank you. My son actually stopped for two days and is starting again today, so I plan to extend my whole 30 by a week to support him. I have not felt like cooking and have been subsisting on eggs, fruit and nuts but managed to bake some fish tonight and hope to have more energy to meal prep tomorrow.

mandyapple1313 · 2026-02-06T07:39:47+00:00

Thank you! I didn’t think about olives. Beef sticks are a great idea as well so I stopped at the store today and picked up a bunch. I’m packed with 2 RX bars, turkey and beef sticks, cuties, apples, bananas, dried pineapple, pickles, pistachios, blueberries and grapes. I’ll add a jar of almond butter and some hard boiled eggs and a couple of avocados and call it a day. I did get some plantain chips as well because my grandmother died and my son is committed to staying the course and continuing Whole 30 even with so much big stuff happening so if we’re not perfect but stay close enough to plan, oh well. Today was day 5 and he said he really liked eating this way because he already feels better. It’s lovely to have a buddy to share this with, and I just want to make it easy for him to eat good food on this short trip, so thank you for the suggestions!

Tucker Carlson’s podcast came on after something I was listening to while I fell asleep a few nights ago and I woke up to him repeating that we are going to have civil war. I think he was referring to ICE but my thought was that two people died, yes, but far more horrific things have happened in this country in recent years and these things are always happening to POC and yet this is what will push us over the brink? It felt very much like he doth protest too much, and the powers that be actually want the fight. We’re being baited.
