MeadowLily Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 I enjoy your log, too. I think you're brave to post your food. My cooking skills aren't as pretty as yours by a long shot. You should see the way things plop and bounce off the floor. All I can do is laugh, rinse it off and use the 5 second rule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmlynne Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Crazy question - but how do you post the pictures as a "3 in 1"? All I can figure out how to do is post thumbnails - and that is only from the iPad - haven't figured out how to post pics with the computer..... I guess I am a little technically challenged.....

All I can figure out how to do is post thumbnails - and that is only from the iPad - haven't figured out how to post pics with the computer..... I guess I am a little technically challenged..... For the three in one pics, I use a collage maker app. I use Photo Grid, but I have an android phone, so I don't know if that particular one is available for iPhone/iPad, but I'm sure something is available. Then I just post the picture I create with that app here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hutlifr Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Kmlynne, I think the ipad has it's limitations... I can only post thumbnails as well... Welcome back Shannon, glad to see you made it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted March 4, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted March 4, 2015 Day 2 (only day 2? Today was only Tuesday? It feels like it ought to be at least Thursday already.) Breakfast: Leftover chicken-apple sausage with bok choy, zucchini, and yellow squash, scrambled with a couple of eggs. Lunch: ground beef and potatoes with sauteed brussel sprouts and leeks and a grape kombucha Supper: scrambled eggs, asparagus, and sweet potato with coconut oil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted March 5, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted March 5, 2015 Day 3 Breakfast: Scrambled eggs, brussel sprouts and asparagus Lunch (sort of): a handful of pistachios. (I usually work from home, but needed to go to the office today. I thought I would be home in plenty of time for lunch, so I didn't take anything, but then it didn't work out quite how I planned. Pistachios were the only compliant thing in the vending machine.) Supper: ground beef, potatoes, yellow squash, and zucchini, and a banana with pecan butter. And then I was still hungry, so had a little more ground beef and potatoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted March 6, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted March 6, 2015 Day 4 Breakfast: ground beef with brussel sprouts and leeks, and an orange Lunch: tuna salad (tuna, mayo, dill & garlic sauerkraut, and chopped green onions) and sliced cucumber Supper: sauteed collard greens, ground beef & potatoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted March 8, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted March 8, 2015 Forgot to post the last couple of days, catching up now. Day 5 Breakfast: ground beef, potatoes, zucchini and yellow squash Lunch: seared duck breast, tomato & cucumber slices with balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and Penzey's Sunny Paris seasoning, and roasted sweet potato with mayo for dipping Snack, because I was working and couldn't fix real food: banana (I know, I know -- fruit by itself, big no-no.) Supper: eggs and sauerkraut (and that plate is a bread plate, normally my meals are on full-sized dinner plates, so it's really not much food. But basically I ate and then went to bed, so I didn't want much food) Day 6 Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with mashed sweet potato, sliced tomato Lunch: Tuna salad (tuna, mayo, pickles, tomato) with cucumber slices and a tangelo, and an apple-cinnamon-ginger kombucha Supper: ground beef, zucchini and yellow squash, roasted sweet potato with mayo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators LadyM Posted March 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2015 Look at you, chugging right along! What are your favorite ways to eat compliant hot dogs? I have a package I took out of the freezer and am kind of lost. I'm thinking sauté with veggies like any other sausage and I might try the roasted sweet potato as bun trick. But other than that . . . ? Any inspired ideas to share? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But other than that . . . ? Any inspired ideas to share? Hot dogs tend to be what I have when I'm not feeling inspired, so not really any inspired ideas . Sometimes I slice them up and sauté them with veggies, sometimes I slice them up and put them in my toaster oven on broil and just serve them alongside vegetables or mixed into a soup. I haven't tried the sweet potato as a bun trick, but it sounds good. Or make a wrap with whatever leafy green stuff you have on hand. Anything you do with any other sausage would probably work.

Moderators LadyM Posted March 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2015 Thanks, Shannon. I ate two for dinner with a big salad and tried nestling them in sweet potatoes. Kinda weird. I'm not really into the mushy texture and sweetness, but now I know. . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda weird. I'm not really into the mushy texture and sweetness, but now I know. . . . Mushiness would defeat the purpose of putting it in a "bun," I would think. I hadn't really thought about that. Maybe I'll just skip that idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators LadyM Posted March 11, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 11, 2015 In fairness, it was a garnet yam. This might work better with a white or purple one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators LadyM Posted March 13, 2015 Moderators Share Posted March 13, 2015 Tried it again tonight with a japanese yam and it's a go! Will definitely do it again. Much better flavor and texture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted March 13, 2015 Author Moderators Share Posted March 13, 2015 Days 10 and 11 -- forgot to take pictures. My food wasn't very pretty anyway, so not a big loss. Let's see if I can remember what I ate. Day 10 Breakfast: Sweet potato, zucchini, yellow squash and beef bacon hash topped with fried eggs Lunch: More of the hash with a lamb burger and a banana with almond butter Supper (eaten very late when I got home from work) some beef bacon (I tried the beef bacon on a whim, when I ordered some other stuff from US Wellness Meats. It was ... different. Not awful, but not really bacon. I probably won't order it again.) Day 11 Breakfast: Eggs scrambled with zucchini and squash. Lunch: Chicken salad made with may and some garlic-dill sauerkraut Supper: the last of the sweet potato, zucchini, yellow squash and beef bacon hash, with some sausage, a banana with almond butter.

I'm rather embarrassed to have to say I did not finish this Whole30. I kept at it for a little while after I stopped posting on this thread, and then just sort of stopped. I'm not sure why I had so much trouble with this one, I've done it before, but despite knowing that I needed to make this commitment, and despite knowing all the rules, I just didn't stick with it. I'm currently starting a post-W30 log here, with at least some food pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
