But not off my editing program. Be forewarned as creative as I feel in my kitchen with my camera in hand, I did not edit a single picture and to me, that is half the fun. But that can turn into a black hole I don't have time for. So raw, straight off the camera is all I can commit to right now.
Anyway..... this a long post only because of the pictures, but I enjoyed all asspects of the creation of this post, sooooo
Lets talk about Days 4, 5, 6, 7
I'm over lapping a little because I had tech difficulties loading the pictures on to the computer over the weekend (format issues or something stupid like that) I eventfully figured it out... so I need to recap just a bit.
Shopping!
I do this everyday. I pretty much always have. This is one challenge to the Whole 30 journey for me. If I could just plan and prep, for at least a few days, things would be easier. I'm sure I'll will get to that eventually but for now I'm still flying by the seat of my pants. This may be a deeper issue than what appears on the surface...a post for another time perhaps. Sticking to the subject of Whole 30 right now.

Moving on to more exiting things! MAYO!

Yup. I bought one of these Saturday AND I made mayo....I know I know its very exciting!

I added lemon to the first batch but have since eliminated on the second one this morning. Couple reasons, taste, color, and I think consistency was effected in ways that I didn't find totally pleasing.

Never the less. It worked good enough and I was still very excited about it because......

I made THIS! Yes, yummy potato salad, even Joe liked it LOL

And then I created this yummy dinner to go with it on Friday night......

Saturday Morning I had to pack rations. So another new prize, I bought, came in handy....

Saturday Dinner was leftovers recreated...half a burger and some of the potatoes I prepared for the potato salad before the mayo. Along with a fried egg and a few slices of avocado! Mind you I have not finished the food on my plate even once since I started Whole 30 LOL!

I'll slip in my Saturday Morning Yard sale find...

This beautiful antique bowl.....(add my new "bowl obsession" to my scarf and bag issues)

Container are important when you run around like I do all day. I would not survive Whole 30 without my packed food. This one is one of my favorites. It was a gift from my boss, Tina. I just love it. This part in the middle stores in the freezer.

Cute little containers fit nicely and are kept cold.

Perfect little covers.

The bottom collapses when your done with it, for neat space saving storage.

All packs up nice and tight.

Fits perfectly in my "31 lunch bag".

And now moving on to last night dinner. I cant even believe I made this....I'll be having the leftover for lunch.
I peeled, cut, and cooked this butternut squash...YES I DID!


While it was boiling I made almond crusted chicken tenders to lay over a bed of dressed greens.

And yes this is the results of my cooking time in the kitchen last night....but soooo worth it!

I'm going leave you with that....I'll be back soon.
See ya Peeps,
M.E.
