Emily Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 cumin! coconut oil grass-fed beef elk and antelope (its been really helpful that we hunt) Roastaroma tea (by Celestial seasonings) The Well-Fed Cookbook (not a food, but helped us grow in eating by leaps and bounds) cauliflower spaghetti squash the joy of having a cart full of *real* foods-- we always get comments in the grocery store. My list sounds like we don't eat many vegetables, but here is where the veggies fit in! Our local CSA (we really miss them in the winter) OK, so I cheated some... but I think this is a fun thread!

karrottop Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Avocado! How could I forget avocado?! Can I have 11.....? Haha, I think that is what I love most about the Whole30 and this lifestyle in general. It encourages as many "Top Whatever-Number" of foods as I want. There is no limit to REAL food that is good for my health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karrottop Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Do you have any good recipes for Jicama? I always see them at the grocery store and want to get them but don't know what to do with them! Jicamas are like a less sugary asian pear (the big yellow ones) to me. They're a really good low-fructose fruit substitute to apples and pears. It's got the refreshing crunch and subtle sweetness. I toss them in salads with a tangy balsamic dressing or eat them raw and peeled. They're also pretty low in calories, so it makes for a great snack. When you choose Jicamas, make sure to choose ones that are heavy/dense for their size! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carie Skeahan Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I like them peeled, cut in sticks with lime juice squeezed on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twin2sister Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Someone mentioned jicama and I got so jealous. My local grocery (which has everything else) doesn't carry jicama. My top 10: Macadamia Nuts! Broccoli Sweet Potatoes Grass-fed Beef Organic boneless skinless chicken thighs Eggs (organic) Cantaloupe! Fish (wild-caught cod or catfish) Kiwi Green Beans - I believe these are Whole30 approved; I've been eating them like they're going out of style.
