Ever since completing my first Whole 30 about a month ago, I've been noodling with the idea of hacking dishes from my food tradition to make them Whole30 compliant. And I've decided to do it! So for the month of June, I'll be trying out various Whole30 Filipino recipes and sharing them in my blog. Come visit! And maybe try some of the recipes for yourself.
 
I started today with mango pork tocino. It didn't suck, if I may say so myself.
 
I'll be posting links to new recipes in this topic as I add them to my blog.

 
Here's a recipe for spaghetti squash pancit (when you have to feed a lot of people good veggies).

Here's a recipe for bistek Tagalog (Filipino "beef steak") with crispy sweet potatoes.

 
It's been a while, but here's a new recipe: a Whole30 compliant kare kare, or oxtail stew. Delicious! (if I may say so myself).

Just an addendum. Here are a couple of other sites that offer Filipino Paleo/Whole30 recipes:
 
FiliPaleo
 
Paleo Fondue

 
Bet you've never heard of this one: banana sauce (or banana catsup).

Here's one recipe I'm really hoping some Whole30ers here will try: guinataang halo-halo. Very simple recipe, and very delicious and filling.
 
You know how newbies keep saying they're hungry all the time and the mods keep saying eat carbs, eat fat? Well, this dish is basically carb-dense root crops plus carb-dense sweet plantain cooked in glorious, fatty coconut milk. I dare you to have this at breakfast (with your protein, of course) and tell me you're hungry again before noon. Go on, I double dog dare you. 

 
Here's a recipe for salmon sinigang, a tamarind-based sour soup loaded with veggies.

Looks a little skimpy to me...

Glenn, your food looks delicious. And it would be just the way to add variety to meal planning.    I also stumbled upon this Paleo food blog. The blogger seems to be Filipino too (and gorgeous), and she's done the Whole 30 twice. Check it out at http://pfflifestyle.com/blog.html.  Her ginataan is made with chia seeds to stand in for the tapioca pearls! Anyway, keep posting your great ideas. 

These recipes look fantastic. I think I will try the spaghetti squash pancit this weekend. Thank you for this gift!

These dishes look wonderful!  I grew up in Japan, on a navy base, so of course I grew up on Filipino food.  I miss it greatly, and Denver has almost NO Filipino food presence.  
 
I just want some lumpia and pancit.  That's all.

Ooh, and for extra crazy points, add: "I have pictures here, want to see?" -- and reach for your phone. Betcha they sidle away and never bother you again.

I'm an egg eater, so it's very rare for me to have eggless breakfasts. But here are a couple from the past:
 

 
Slow cooked beef stew with butternut squash, kale, and onions
 
 

 
Chicken sausage with kabocha squash and apples

I haven't had to deal with too many (or any) crazy things. But reading through this forum, it occurred to me that TMI may sometimes be your best response.
 
For example: "If I eat that, my poo turns green and syrupy."
 
Let them respond to that!
