Demobhappy Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Ok, so I'm on day 41 of my first W45, and just had lunch at home - a little bit of leftover chicken salad with paleo mayo, and a huge plate of cabbage, leeks and chorizo fried in goose fat. It was really tasty, healthy and completely compliant, and I could have eaten another whole plate of it, but it did get me thinking about some of the meals I'm preparing just for myself on W30 which I would never offer anyone else (however yummy they taste), because friends and family would think it was a very weird plate of food. What are you scarfing happily that would have seemed pretty odd to you pre-W30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little mighty Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Dude, I was vegan for 8 years - NOTHING is odd to me That said, I never thought I'd be eating organ meats and enjoying them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frantastic Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 For me, it's sausages. I love the compliant sausages that I've found. I have always hated sausages - intestines stuffed with the random bits that no one wanted to eat (perhaps because my dad always said that sausages and hot dogs had the "lips and a$$holes"?). Now that I have found clean eating sausages (even better when they are kosher, because then you know it isn't from a random part!!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJB Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 There are various vegetables that I have absolutely fallen in love with since I switched up my diet. Zucchini! I didn't even used to like zucchini...now I eat it every day. Zoodles as prepared in Well Fed...omg. I could eat and eat and eat those. I think they are a lot of work though. I just recently started pan-frying sliced zucchini with the same recipe and it tastes just as good, but is much quicker to make. Mashed cauliflower...twice-baked yams with cinnamon and clarified butter...plain baked sweet potatoes...baked parsnip disks with salt and pepper...I just can't believe how much I love vegetables now!

Administrators ladyshanny Posted September 10, 2014 Administrators Share Posted September 10, 2014 Mine is not so much something I think is weird but something I nearly refuse to share because I love it too much. PaleOMG Buffalo Chicken "Pasta" using zoodles instead of spaghetti squash. I try not to make it too often and I try to coincide it's creation with a day that my hubby is not home or has something else to eat. TOO much deliciousness!

Xandra Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 ladyshanny, that recipe confuses me. It calls for making 2/3 cup mayo. Do you add all of that mayo to the dish or only a few spoons of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ultrarunnergirl Posted September 11, 2014 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2014 Rutabaga hash Velvety Butternut Squash from Well Fed Roasted Spaghetti with Marinara Sauce, Veggie and a sprinkle of Nutritional Yeast - way more flavorful than pasta! Braunschweiger from US Wellness Meats. SO FREAKING TASTY!! Beef Liver with Onions and Lemon from Well Fed 2. Who knew liver was so good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted September 11, 2014 Administrators Share Posted September 11, 2014 Xandra - you actually use the whole amount (it makes 2/3 of a cup). I usually zoodle three large zucchinis and add extra carrots and celery and onion so it never really seems too saucy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuntJane Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 JJP, you've given me some great ideas for new ways to fix veggies! I almost always steam, sometimes roast or sautee, but that's about it. I'm not bored yet but I will be at some point I'm sure! This never seemed odd to be before Whole30, but I'd never had almond butter (because I was addicted to peanut butter...). I bought a jar of Trader Joe's crunchy salted almond butter last week and have to restrain myself from eating the whole thing at once with a spoon! It is delicious!

Xandra Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Kale. I eat as much of it as possible, and my kids are now used to my mixing kale in with their favorite vegetables, too. Interestingly, my son won't touch spinach but loves kale and will scarf it down. He always asks to make sure something is kale and not spinach.

thecatsanova Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 FRITTATA! I made one with eggs, broccoli, and roasted white potatoes. After adding a pat of coconut oil, I actually screamed when it hit my mouth. It was SO GOOD. Doing Whole 30 has changed my life... I'll never stop adding coconut oil to things now.

Xandra Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 And mayo. I used to eat very little mayonnaise; in fact, I didn't like regular mayo but preferred Miracle Whip (because only God knows what's in it!). But now that I make my own mayo with avocado oil and lime juice + splash of apple cider vinegar, I can't get enough and put it in just about every dish: eggs, beef, greens... everything tastes better with a little tangy mayo.

MrsPefy13 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Mayo on everything! I used to really dislike mayo because it always seemed like a bland waste of calories... but homemade real mayo is amazing! I love making dips and sauces for meat and veg, or just adding it some to scrambled eggs. soooo good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beara32 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm crazy about the salmon cakes in Well Fed 2. My husband's allergic to salmon, but that's too bad...more for me and the kids! Going to try making them with tuna this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frantastic Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I hate mayo (and nothing will ever change that) but I was thinking of you today, Demobhappy, as I was having lunch, which was a bunch of braised cabbage with chunks of chicken and cucumbers, with ACV sprinkled over the whole mess. It sounds so gross but it was delicious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennor Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Liver. Most people in Sweden hate it, but I work in Denmark and the Danes seem to eat more of it. I love it sauteed with lots of onion and tart apples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahavah Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Avocados! I usually only have them occasionally due to the price, but I stock up when I can price match them and eat them up during Whole30. My favorite snack is to slice & drizzle them with EVOO and sprinkle with sea salt & crushed red pepper flakes. But I also find that I just add them to just about any dish to make it spectacular. My new favorite is making chicken salad with avocado instead of mayo. I can't stop eating that up! SO good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyS Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 My breakfast this morning: about 2 cups of chopped local tomatoes, a good-size portion of shredded roast beef, and a monster size glop of guacamole. All mixed together in a bowl. Insanely good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
